I'm doing a very large (144K) localisation job in Memsource, from US English to UK English. 95% of the lines will be identical. Is there a command like in memoQ to move everything from source to target, so I can then edit those segments that need anglicisation? I've seen their announcement that this has been launched in the mobile version - is there a desktop equivalent? Otherwise, I need to do it a segment at a time with Ctrl-INS.

Thanks to anyone who can advise!

Regex ^$ Feb 20, 2022

If you already have some segments populated with translation or confirmed, you can first filter only empty segments using a regex (^$) as shown below, and then apply the shortcut as suggested by Thomas T. Frost:2022-02-20_031929

Note that Crtl-shift-A needs to be done after positioning the cursor in the target text area - otherwise you'll probably get something about ad blockers instead.
