Autosuggest remains one of the most useful things for me.  First because Fragment Match does not work with server-based TMs, second because too many is much better than too little. Check out the short list of words that have the same root 'бег' in Russian (English equivalent is 'run' with only 4 same-root words for it: ran, running, runner, and runny).

As a translator, I would definitely appreciate such AS dictionary. Each variant counts. 

BTW, could anybody help me with Regex AS? Why it does not give me a suggestion as soon as I start typing? Only Ctrl+Shift+F12 works. I have set Min number of chars to 1 but to no avail... What is wrong with it?

Update. Same old story: another plugin that stopped working properly with 2017. Starting typing a date won't invoke the regex suggestion mechanism. Long live AutoSuggest Classic.

What version of Studio?

Sample text?

Sample regex?

SDL Trados Studio 2017 Professional - 14.0.5821.4 (company's software)

Sample text attached as image below

Regex pattern: (\d{1,2})(#Mon#)(\d{2,4})

Replace pattern: $1$2$3

Mon variables:

-Jan- = .01.

-Feb- = .02.

-Mar- = .03.

....

-Dec- = .12.

My observations:

a. Works fine with shortcut.

b. App icon is missing in the list of suggestions that only drops when pressing the shortcut.

c. Regex suggestions are not available from the [common] list of other suggestions.

d. Suggestion droplist is not invoked when I start typing.

e. The same picture (empty target and list without icon) I see on the website of the Russian authorised distributor. Empty target field means that they also can't invoke it by just typing (https://www.tra-service.ru/trados/practice/38).

Long story short: my concern is that I don't get regex suggestions when I start typing, although other users say it must work exactly like that.

Thank you Paul, I will try it right now. But I believe the regex itself is ok as far as it works with shortcut. Pressing Ctrl+Shift+F12 gives the result I need (which means that regex is ok).

Update: Nope, your regex is even more incorrect =) because it does not give anything even with pressing Ctrl+Shift+F12.

My original regex replaces '14-Jan-18' with '14.01.18'.

The regex you suggested for replacement does nothing.

Most probably, you are right about the version. I will try it on my Freelance version at home which is newer than that at work. Thank you for your support.

No, there are no spaces, but I don't need them. The pattern works well because Studio recogonises my regex and gives the result I need. On the other hand, it does not recognise yours. The problem is not regex itself–regex is fine–but the way Studio delivers the result (I have to press 3 keys with 2 hands instead of a list that drops once I start typing).
