I want a shortcut instead of "Do you really want to mark this project as complete?"

Question

Hi, 
 I have never really got around to change projects to completed as it feels cumbersome without a shortcut. But when I sometimes do try to get structure in my work life and want to mark projects as complete, I (a) move the cursor towards the project in question and (b) then right click on the mouse button, so to the menu opens (c) and I (d) mark the Mark project as complete. What happens? Up comes a popup asking me if I really want to do it. And so I move the cursor to the OK and click one time more. 
 
 Would it be possible to put on a wish list something like a shortcut and the option "Please do not ask me that question ever again"? 
 
 It would be so nice when I am finish with a project to to press, let's say Ctrl + F and voila, Complete! 
 
 I hope somebody will tell me that there is actually a shortcut ... 
 
 :-) 
 
 Best regards, 
 Knut

TBH I think the popup window is not that bad. It warns you, that the project will be marked as completed. 
 Usually I go that way: 
 
 Click the first project to be closed 
 Press ALT+F12 (my shortcut for completed) to mark as complete 
 Press arrow down or up to go to the next project to be completed 
 Mark as complete again 
 Repeat for all relevant projects 
 Press and hold SHIFT and then use arrow down/up to mark the completed projects 
 If completed projects are not subsequent, use CTRL+Left click to select completed ones 
 Press CTRL+ALT+F4 to remove all marked completed projects from the list

Hi Knut, 
 What is your interface language? The script is written for English. If your language is different, you would just need to make the appropriate changes, i.e., open the *.ahk file in a plain text editor (like Notepad++) and change the text in 1, 2 and 3 in the screenshot below to what you see on your window. Note that number 3 is what you would send to the window to close it, which in the English interface is "y" for Yes.

Hi Adriana de la Torre ,

 You can Finalize a file (right-clicking and then Batch Tasks > Finalize). Is this what you mean? If so, it's a completely different concept than Completing a project. You can read about the Finalize task here: https://docs.sdl.com/783545/548617/sdl-trados-studio/running-batch-tasks--finalize

 Several ways to go back in your browser: - BACKSPACE key (I believe it works in any browser). - I use to click this link at the top to go back:

Trados Studio > 1. Trados Studio
