Perhaps Jerzy Czopik has an opinion on this?

I can't reproduce this... in fact it just forces me through the segments because of the right key.  So I guess you need a particular keyboard to do this or some software you have programmed with the shortcuts?

Unfortunately not, I am using a different type of keyboard (not Polish programmer QWERTY, but Polish 214 QWERTZ).

But out of curiosity I tried with my installation of 2021. The shortcut in question (CTRL+ALT+N) is assigned to Projects -> New Cloud Project.

After having removed this shortcut and adding the Polish programmer keyboard I now can insert ń with the AltGr key and n (CTRL+ALT+n). So please check this.

You've been pressing the AltGR key–which is the same as CTRL+ALT, not JUST ALT.

That's right. I didn't realize that. Thanks again!

Dear Jerzy. I have one more question regarding keyboard shotcuts in Studio. Maybe you know the answer. Is it possible to toggle between source and target in Editor using just the Tab key?

The default shortcut to toggle between source and target is F6.

That's true. And I want to change it to Tab. Is it possible?

Tab alone not, but you can use CTRL+TAB. Go to keyboard shortcuts and change this:

Yes, I knew that. I was looking for a way to use just Tab, as in other CAT tool so I could have the same set of keyboard shortcuts in both.

In fact you can do this with a small workaround...

Grzegorz Stasiak

If you customise as Jerzy suggested, Ctrl+Tab and then edit this file:

c:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\SDL\SDL Trados Studio\Studio16\UserSettings.xml

Look for this:

<SettingsGroup Id="ShortcutsSettingsGroup">
   <Setting Id="ToggleSourceTargetAction">
     <Value>Tab, Control</Value>
   </Setting>
   <Setting Id="SelectNextViewPartAction" />
 </SettingsGroup>

And change it so only the Tab is there between the value element. 

<SettingsGroup Id="ShortcutsSettingsGroup">
   <Setting Id="ToggleSourceTargetAction">
     <Value>Tab</Value>
   </Setting>
   <Setting Id="SelectNextViewPartAction" />
 </SettingsGroup>

Then save the file and restart Studio. Now it works as you wish.

But you lose the ability to use the Tab key as a tab character.

You are great guys! Works like a charm! Thanks a lot!

So wait a second… working IN REVERSE… wherever a program (ANY program, not just Trados) asks for Ctrl+Alt+[another key] for an option… I can instead use AltGr+[another key]? Although there ARE probably exceptions… Well that’s convenient thanks for the hint!️
