I guess you just want to change the status to confirmed and move on.  Unfortunately (I don't think) there isn't a shortcut for this out of the box, but you could use this app:

https://appstore.sdl.com/language/app/segment-status-switcher/754/

That would get you a shortcut to change the status so you'd be halfway there.  Then you could create an autohotkey script to use whatever shortcut you liked that changed the status and moved to the next segment.

Maybe someone has a better idea, but that's the way I'd approach it I think.

IN such cases I simply click Change Segment Status (or right click the segment) to change the status manually. Usually this is no hassle, as in my case at least there are not many such segments.

Thanks, but I’m afraid I don’t get it. I have downloaded the app. The description looks a bit short…

Which status do I need to change it to? Where is the shortcut?

The most efficient way is to use "ShourtCut" as previously commented.

The others are.. never mind, not efficient at all.

In your keyboard shortcuts in Trados Studio as Kelly showed in the screenshot.

On the status... what status do you want the segments to have?  You said this:

How can I confirm a segment and avoid updating the TM?

So I presume "Translated".  Just assign the shortcut you want to use:

Thanks a lot to all!!! It works. As I said before, the description of the app is rather short, but thanks to your help I have a valuable new option now!

Is creating an autohotkey script a complicated taskt? It sounds nice, because at the moment, I can change the status with a shortcut, but then I still have to move to the next segment. One shortcut for both actions at once would sure be nice.

Nope... it would be fairly trivial.  This forum is a good place to ask for help if you've never done it before:

https://community.rws.com/product-groups/trados-portfolio/trados-studio/f/autohotkey

There are also many examples in there so you could also look at them to see how things are done... although I'd recommend you avoid Kelly's scripts for the time beig or you'll be frightened off... he does some quite clever and complex stuff.  But for the basics there are plenty of examples on how to work with it.  Or, just explain what you want to do and I'm sure someone will help you out.

OK, thanks again!

I’ll also mention Stepan Konev Maybe this thread is of interest to you, too, Stepan? … since you had a similar question… a few years ago… See the first post in this thread.
