Ctrl+Enter and Enter+Ctrl to confirm segments. And the latter does not work.

Hello team

Can you please make the shortcut Enter+Ctrl equals Ctrl+Enter ?

I notice that when I confirm segments using Ctrl+Enter and it works normally. But there is sometimes I suddenly hit Enter+Ctrl instead. And the Trados just not confirm those segments. And it does not work at all!

This frustrates me a lot. Because this made you stumble when you type and you just need to hit Ctrl+Enter again slowly to make sure the segment is confirmed.

Can you fix this?

For Trados Studio 2019 SR2 15.2.8.3007

    It does not matter. The profile management feature works the same way in Trados 2019.
    However, you just can't use the "Enter+anything" combination because it means that you press Enter first and only then "anything" else. It does not work this way. When you press and hold Ctrl first, nothing happens because your computer "knows" that the Ctrl key is mainly used with other keys, and it waits for you to press a second key. Even if the Ctrl key is used alone, you have to release it before it works. This is how command keys work (Shift, Ctrl and Alt).
    On the other hand, the Enter key executes its function as soon as your press it without waiting. You don't even need to release the Enter key for it to execute a command. That is why Enter+key is not possible neither with Trados, nor with any other app. Even with the SDLX profile, it is Enter alone that confirms segments, but not Enter+Ctrl.
