Shortcuts

Use these keyboard shortcuts to move around in the translation editor:

  • Jump to the Translation results section: T. You can check translation results one by one. Your screen reader will read the information in this order: source language, row number, type of translation result (for example, TM, TB, LiveDocs), and the percentage match (optional), target language.

  • Insert the selected translation result: Ctrl+number.

  • Jump back to the grid: Shift+T.

  • Move around in the grid: Alt+Ctrl+arrow keys. For example, if you are in the source segment and want to move to the target segment, press Alt+Ctrl+right arrow.

  • Move around in the status box: Arrow keys. For example, to check the match rate, comments, or warnings.

  • Confirm the segment: Ctrl+Enter.

  • Display all the headings: Shift+H.

  • Create a bookmark and mark the segment to jump back to it quickly: Ctrl+Windows+K.

  • Jump back to the bookmark/the last segment you edited: K.

  • Move to the end of the page or straight to the pop-up window: Ctrl+End. For example, if you want to delete a comment, memoQ displays the confirmation window asking you to confirm that you want to delete this comment. Use this shortcut to move straight to this window and navigate with arrows to the Delete button. Press Enter to confirm.
