Shortcuts
In this section, users can customize their keyboard shortcuts for the Translation Editor. To view or edit shortcuts, open the Translation Editor and click on the gear icon at the top right corner. Then select 'Shortcuts' from the list.
Information
Worbee's Translator is a web-based tool. When customizing your shortcuts, please make sure that you don't assign a function to a shortcut that already exists in your web browser or in the CAT tool.
- The browser shortcuts will always trigger first and thus override your CAT tool shortcuts.
- You cannot use the same shortcut for two different functions in the CAT tool.
