How to change the keyborad shortcut to insert a term in the termonology database window

Hello,

I am using Trados 2021 and a terminology database (sdldb) file. I see the terms in the termonology window, but I would like to change the short cut of the keyboard to insert the highlighted term in the window. Actually the short cut is the INSERT key, but I would like to change this with CTRL + INSERT.

How may I do that?

Please, take a look to this screenshot by visiting this link, so you can understand what I mean. The interface is in Spanish but you can see clearly what I am meaning.

Please, click on the picture below.

Trados Studio 2021 interface in Spanish showing the terminology window with a highlighted term. A text box indicates a desire to change the shortcut from INSERT to CTRL+INSERT.

Cheers

  • Ups, the shortcut for term recognition cannot be changed? I think SDL should change that.

    The problem of pressing Insert is that sometimes, if you have not highlighted the term already, when pressing insert, I am changing the writing mode in the editor which is a mess...

    I just wanted to change this with a different combination to make it easier...

    That thing of right-clicking takes seconds and when you have a project with 10500 segments, investing just 2 seconds in 5.250 segments (the half of the project) means a delay of 2 x 5.250 = 10500 seconds / 60 = 175 minutes / 60 = 2,91 hours of delay.

    People could think that loosing just 2 seconds is something insignificant, but for big projects, beleive, it is not, especially when you have tight deadlines.

    Sad this shortcut cannot be changed.
