Insert Symbol: Displays the Insert symbol dialog to insert special symbols and Unicode characters in the target text. Default shortcut key: Ctrl+Shift+I.

 

Tags section:

Tag Insertion : Turns the automatic tag insertion on. memoQ then automatically inserts tags in your target cell. Click this icon again to turn tag insertion off. Default shortcut key: F6.

A tag sequence means all the tags immediately following each other, no matter what kind of tags (inline tag or memoQ tag). If the next tag sequence has already been inserted into the target, then the following sequence is inserted. If you selected some text  in the target, then the selected text is not overwritten, but the next tag pair from the source is inserted around the selection. Default shortcut key: F9.

Tag Commands:

oInsert All Tags : Inserts all formatting tags (tags that are present in the source segment and not inserted in the target segment) and inline tags into the target segment in the order of the source tags. Formatting tags start with {1} in every segment. If the target segment is not empty, memoQ checks which tags are present in the target, and inserts all the rest of the tags from the source in the same order at the current position. Default shortcut key: Alt+F8.

You cannot undo changes you made before a full synchronization: When you work on an online project, and memoQ needs to synchronize the entire project (instead of saving just the current segment to the server), you cannot undo the changes you made before the synchronization. Full synchronization happens when you use the Synchronize Project command, or when the same segment(s) changed on the server, or after you change or confirm multiple segments at once. This knowledge base article explains why you cannot undo changes that were made before a full synchronization.
