Is there a keyboard shortcut for quickly searching for a selection in the source or target of my project? That is, I currently have to select sth, and navigate to:
Review > Display Filter
and past it into the Search field (select filter on src or trgt), and click Enter
Michael
PS: and if Nora is reading this, do you have a KnowBrainer script for this (to do it by voice)?

Thanks, but this one is dead. As is the Advanced Display Filter keyboard shortcut. See: 
Hi Michael,
Here are a few Dragon scripts I use to filter segments, select segments, change segment status, etc. Sorry, they are not documented. Hopefully you can figure out what is happening. Just import this MyCommands.xml file

Some of the options might not work, as there have been changes to Studio recently, and these can break the commands. Often it is just a matter of changing the time on a "Wait" command, which you might have to do anyway if your computer is slower than mine.
"filter <filtertype>" does a few things, e.g. "filter case/case sensitive", "filter refresh", "filter reset", "filter source/in source" (change ribbon to filter on text in the source segment), "filter target/in target", "filter selection/source selection/target selection" (this is probably what you want), "filter no selection". These all basically work with the filter ribbon. I don't use some of them, like "filter case", because Studio subsequently decides to slow to a crawl. The "refresh filter/filters" and "reset filter/filters" are just alternatives to the "filter refresh" and "filter reset" commands.
"filter <filtertype> also filters on the different segment status values in the dropdown filter list.
The command "select <filtertype>" is similar to "filter <filtertype>", but after filtering the segments based on their status, it selects them.
I use "adjust selection <commands_1to10> <commands_1to10>" when I am editing more than one file. The file header and footer tags at the beginning and end of each file can cause problems with locking/unlocking segments. If you want to lock or unlock the segments, the file header and footer tags at the very top and bottom of the editor window cannot be selected.
I therefore watch what happens when I use the "select <filtertype>" command. If I see that there are, say, three file header/footer tags at the bottom of the editor window and one file header tag at the top, then I use "adjust selection one three" to select the segments without selecting the file header/footer tags at the top and bottom.
Then I can use the "toggle lock" command to toggle the segments from lock to unlock or vice versa.
The two commands "select <filtertype>" and "adjust selection <commands_1to10> <commands_1to10>" use a mouse click command to select the segments. The position for the mouse click is set using another command: "get mouse position". I generally have the Studio window maximized on a specific monitor. If the Studio window is moved to another monitor of a different size or the window size is changed, the proper mouse position might have to be reset using this command. To set the proper mouse position, make sure the Studio window is the active window, move the mouse to the segment number column (i.e. the column you would normally click in when selecting segments) just below the top of the first segment and use the "get mouse position" command. It will popup a msgbox with the x and y coordinates. They should be positive and not too big. If one is negative, the Studio window might not have been the active window when you used the command.
The "change to <segstatus>" command changes the status of the segments that have been selected. I addition to the usual segment status values, I have also included an option "change to approved toggle lock" that I use quite frequently to change the segments to a status of "Translation approved", lock them (actually toggle the lock), reset the filter, go to the top of the editor window and then move to the next segment that needs to be translated. I originally wanted to make this option "change to approved and toggle lock", but Dragon doesn't like the "and" in the middle.
The "change to approved toggle lock" command comes in handy when I translate batches of segments. After translating a batch of 300 to 400 words I read them over again, confirm them, run a spellcheck and verify on the batch, then change them to approved and lock them so that they will not be included in the next spellcheck/verify.
Hope this gives you some ideas :-)
