Turn off keyTips

Jan Šindelář

Good morning, is there any possibility to turn keyTips off in SDL Studio? I use Alt+Tab very often for switching to other programs and when I switch back to the Studio, the keyTips are still ON. When I begin to type, different tabs of the ribbon begin to switch instead of typing in the editor window. It is VERY ANNOYING. I REALLY need to switch off the keyTips so that they are displayed only while I am holding the Alt key! What is the point having to press ESC key TWICE (!) after every return to SDL Studio?

For example, try to switch to another program and back and begin to type a word beginning with "FL" - the result is closing all files being translated!!!!

Is the accessibility really the only reason for that? I think there's only a few people who are translating using only one finger (maybe not a single one) which is IMHO is the only purpose and use of keyTips.

Thank you.

    Hi Jan,

    I found your post because I'm having the same issue.

    I switch apps on Windows with Alt-Tab frequently, and the key tipps are not the real problem, because other apps have them too, like my browser: There is File, Edit, View etc.

    But only in Trados Studio, these are activated once I begin typing where I left (in the Editor). So quite often, unintentionally I open the Blog (Alt E-I) or the Sign-In dialog (Alt-S).

    I suspect it has to do with the different way of activating the menu shortcuts in Studio compared to other apps. See images below.

    Studio:



    Firefox:

    I hope someone from SDL can look into this.

    Best,
    David
