is there a way to quickly re-load the TB data into Studio / refresh the data loaded?

Is there a way to quickly refresh the termbases in the Studio to enable the Studio to recognize new terms freshly added in the MultiTerm (outside Studio)? A keyboard shortcut would be best, but I can't see this on the keyboard shortcuts list. Any other idea? (Disabling and enabling the termbase in the settings in not a quick solution.)

Explanation: While working in the editor in Studio, when I encounter a new term, which I want to add, I often switch to MultiTerm and add it there. As these are usually entries with many term variants (I work with geographic names) it is more convenient for me to do it in MultiTerm rather than pointing them in the Studio and hitting Ctrl+F2 (which is handy for simple terms). An added term get saved in MultiTerm constantly, but once back in Studio, when I move to another segment and get back to the one I worked with before, the new terms are not recognized (I assume the database had been loaded to the memory earlier and Studio does not recognize the reason to do it again at this point). To have the new terms recognized I need to go to the Project Termbase Settings (keyboard shortcut possible), disable the required termbase, click OK, go to PTS again, enable the termbase and confirm again. Is there a another way to do it? Or is there a way to force Studio to load the termbase data once the termbase has been changed outside the Studio (that would be difficult, perhaps) or at least to reload the data each time I move to a new segment (I know it would be slower)?

    Thank you for replying.

    It seems to be true in my case too, unless there is content in the target field of the segment before I switch to MultiTerm. I mean the scenario is as follows: I start translating - NMT fills the segment's target, I do some changes (and do not confirm them) and then - seeing that I need to add a term - I switch to MT. Once the terms are added, back in Studio I move to another segment (the recognized terms disappear from the Term Recognition Window, obviously) and return to the one I was working on. The "searching" message in the TR window is displayed for a very short moment, and then I get the same answers as earlier, no freshly added terms unless I do changes in the termbase settings as described earlier.

    I do "reorganize" the base regularly although not every time I add a new term.

    I encounter another issue working with this termbase, but I do not think that could be related.
