Make Trados remember what units have been inserted through ctrl + comma in a given segment

Hello,

If we consider a segment:

"The adapter used to convert the dehumidifier from 12V to 9V is 43mm wide."

When I arrive at "... the dehumidifier from" in the target segment, I can hit ctrl + comma to insert "12V" automatically. 

After doing this, I arrive at "...12V to". Now to insert "9V", I hit ctrl + comma again. However, Trados highlights "12V" again, so I need to hit the down arrow, and then enter to insert 9V.

When I arrive to "43mm", I need to ctrl + comma, and then hit the down arrow twice to highlight it.

I often work in documents where the source segments have up to 10-15 different units in them. I find myself wasting a lot of keystrokes browsing through all the units to find the right one. Sometimes, I accidentally browse to the wrong one, and hit enter, and then I have to redo it. It can get up to 20 keystrokes for something that could take 2.

So my question is, given the example segment above:

When I already have inserted "12V", is it possible to make Trados remember that this has been used, and the next time I hit ctrl + comma, "9V" gets highlighted right away (and similarly, "43mm" the third time I do it)?

If this is not possible, I think it would be a great feature addition to this already amazing function.

(I'm using Studio 2021)

Thank you kindly,

All the best.
