Drag and drop from source to target in Studio 2017?

Eric MARRET

Hi, 

I might not be in the right place, sorry for this.

I am using SDLX since 2006 and Studio since the beginning.

I miss a feature that was in SDLX but still isn't in Studio: drag and drop from source text to target text.

For example if I translate a text related to motor sport competition, I need to keep drivers, makes, sponsors, cities, tracks names identical in the target text, so I use copy & paste.

Quickplace is useful for very few items in that case.

The quickest way I have found so far when there are a lot of names in a source segment is to copy/paste the whole paragraph and then edit it.

The drag and drop feature would also be interesting for tags when there are many of them.

Thanks in advance for your feedback.

Eric

    I do not use drag&drop - only for file management. You are of course right - if that would be faster for you, than it is so.
    In such cases I simply copy source to target and replace the unnecessary words by translation.
    F6 does switch the cursor between source and target.
