Hi there, Is there any way to add terms (with Alt+T) using only your keyboard, in the Memsource for Web editor? That is, I select e.g. the source term, press Alt+T, but then I have to use my mouse to select the target term (and press Alt+T again). It would be great if, once I press Alt+T, the caret was placed in the src/trgt box, respectively, so I could then select the term's counterpart without having to use the mouse.

I think you can use tab to switch between source and target. Plus Ctrl+[Shift]+arrows to navigate [and select]. And Alt+Tab both in target and source to insert a term into the Add Term fields. For example, when you are in target: 1. Ctrl+Shift+Left or right arrow to select a target term. 2. Alt+Tab to insert the target term into the Add Term field. 3. Tab to switch to source. 4. Ctrl+arrow to navigate to a source term. 5. Ctrl+Shift+Left or right arrow to sele... See more I think you can use tab to switch between source and target.

[Edited at 2021-09-06 23:20 GMT] Hi Stepan, Two points: (1) I think you meant Alt+T, rather than Alt+Tab. (2) Your suggestion doesn't work. The problem is: 2. Alt+T to insert the target term into the Add Term field. 3. Tab to switch to source. After clicking Alt+T to insert the target term into the Add Term field, the caret (cursor) is sent somewhere else in the UI, so pressing Tab doesn't switch to source.

Wait a minute, I just tried it and now it does work. Very strange. It really wasn't working before. Will do some more testing. OK, I figured it out. It works as you described if you start from the target box. If you start from the source box, it doesn't work.
