Hi,
Is it possible to add expressions to Quick Insert? In Danish, there has to be a space between eg. the number and a paragraph sign (§) - is it possible to add this so that it is recognized and can be inserted with Ctrl+Comma? It works for eg. percentage signs (also requires space in Danish) because this is a "measurement" and so is controlled by Auto-Substitution > Measurements, but not for the paragraph sign, but it would be practical to be able to add it.
Thanks!
No it's not. I'd like to see custom placeables in Studio as there are a lot of usecases for it, but I'm afraid there isn't this possibility at the moment.
You can autocorrect I guess, or use the Regex Autosuggest Provider plugin on the appstore to create your own patterns for this when working interactively, or even use Autohotkey, and finally you can use a QA check to find any you miss... you could also use the SDLXLIFF Toolkit to quickl fix any across a whole project in one go. But none of these allow you to work in a way that they would work with the Quick Insert in the same way as recognised placeables from your TM work.

Many good suggestions, thanks! Do you happen to know how to add this to autocorrect? I actually need the space to be non-breaking, so I would need a joker sign for any digit plus a way to indicate a non-breaking space (it does not seem possible to simply enter a non-breaking space in the Replace With field in the AutoCorrect window in Options by pressing Ctrl+Shift+Space). The first problem (any digit) could of course be solved by adding 10 different lines replacing "§0", "§1" etc. respectively if joker signs are not possible.
