Copy-pasting text embedded in inline tags in the target impossible

Question

My current (huge) project (Oxygen/DITA) includes many inline tags, one average one tag per segment I would say. Translating all these segments is a challenge because it seems that I have to insert all inline tags manually and exactly as they are in the source segment: I have tried to copy-paste identical text embedded in identical inline tags from one target segment to another but it hasn't worked. Have I overlooked something? Any advice extremely welcome :-)

Gerrit Bayer-Hohenwarter QuickInsert insert a tag pair, so in this very case it should insert Enter with ONE command. If it does not, something is wrong with your file type. Please also note, that you cannot search and replace with tags. And please also note, that some tags can be inserted via match repair, Trados Studio recognizes tags in matches and is able to insert missing ones in target, however not always. From what I am aware, there is no tool which would do something like this automatically. If the target text is a html or xml file, inserting tags around GUI elements might be easier in the final text, using a text editor like Notepad++ and regex.
