Quick place for terms - How to access? Studio 2024

I am currently using Trados Studio 2024 SR1 - 18.1.2.6370

In the Editor, the shortcut Alt-Down opens the QuickPlace function, showing a list of placeable elements (Numbers, Tags etc.) to choose and place in the target segment.

The same used to be true for Ctrl-Down, which opened the list of terms found in the active termbases. 

I am no longer able to access this function after upgrading to Studio 2024, since the shortcut Ctrl-Down is now assigned to changing the focus to the next segment.

Under Options --> Keyboard Shortcuts --> Editor,  I was not able to find the now lost  function.

Now the only way to insert a term in the Editor is to start typing it, which requires looking through the term recognition window to find out how it starts.

Is the function of opening the list of found terms been removed? If not, how can I assign a shortcut to it?

    Usually the CTRL+, triggers QuickPlace.

    You can change nearly all shortcuts, so it should also be possible to change what you need.  However, I fail to remember using CTRL+Down for the QuickPlace function. List of termbase items is and was always CTRL+SHIFT+L. This works perfectly now as is did since I can remember. CTRL+Down is a logical shortcut to go to the next row, similar to CTRL+PgDn, which moves several rows down.

    These are the shortcuts in your question:

    Trados Studio options window showing the Keyboard Shortcuts Editor. The shortcuts for 'Move to Next Segment' (Ctrl+Down) and 'Move to Previous Segment' (Ctrl+Up) are highlighted in red.
