This is something that has been bothering me for a long time. I translate a lot of software strings with tokens and placeholders, and a lot of HTML/XML content with tags that need to be placed. I also translate English-Chinese so word order is frequently different, often having to completely reverse the sentence structure.

So when I activate QuickPlace, two things are actually hampering my productivity:

1. Numbers and acronyms filling up the top of the QuickPlace list.
2. Having to remove my hand from the typing position to use the arrow keys to select the tags I want.

I'd like to ask if there are ways to achieve the following:

1. Only ever display actual placeholder tags in QuickPlace, regardless of TM configuration. (I work with a lot of small TMs specific to each job that gets updated by my client, so it's a chore to having to always change the TM settings.)
2. Use a hotkey to "go to next placeholder" in the QuickPlace list.

Ideally, I'd love to have a Next and a Prev shortcut for navigating the QuickPlace pop-up list. But I'd settle for just having the QuickPlace shortcut act as the Next function, so I can Ctrl+OemComma to call the QuickPlace list, then mash Ctrl+OemComma to get to the tag I want.

I'm sure all the translation professionals can understand the pain of moving your hands away from the typing position for virtually every segment. Sometimes multiple times in the same segment.
