Hiya,
So Trados has both an "Options" set of settings and a "Project settings" one. I added various quickinsert shortcuts to my "Options" settings, but then when I create a new project using the right file type, these are not added automatically. Why is that? How can I make those "Options" settings the default for new project using that file type?
Many thanks!
You have already answered your own question. The project you create is not based on the File -> Options settings, but on the template chosen. So make sure you have your quick inserts added in the corresponding file type within the used project template.

I'm not sure you read the question in its entirety, though. What I would like is for my "Options" settings to be the default when creating a new project, in order not to have to re-add quickinsert shortcuts every time I create a new project. (Or else, what's the point of the "Options" menu?)
I'm not sure if you read my answer with understanding. File -> Options applies ONLY to a default project template, but it is simply best to forget about this and do ALL configuration of whatever options you wish within a project template you want to use later. You can find your project templates in File -> Setup -> Project templates. And as the name already says, project templates are always used to create projects. File -> Options may be used for this, but only under certain circumstances. These will be applied via a default project template.
This is why I created the tea analogy.
The point of the Options menu is mainly to configure general settings in Studio, like automation, auto propagation, keyboard shortcuts and similar, which are valid for all kind of projects.

NOW I get it, thank you, it worked!
You're welcome. This is the purpose of this forum. And sorry, if I was not clear enough from the beginning.
You can try to suggest your own training, for example about this (admittedly not simple) types and positions of settings, here: community.rws.com/.../
