Preferences

The Editor lets you personalize your workspace through a central Preferences dialog. You can adjust how the Editor looks, configure navigation and propagation behavior, and customize keyboard shortcuts to match your workflow. All preferences are saved per user and remembered across sessions.

• General settings: Configure appearance, navigation mode, and translation propagation.

• Keyboard shortcuts: View, customize, and reset keyboard shortcuts for all Editor actions.

General Settings

To open Preferences, click the gear icon in the top-right corner of the Editor, or press Ctrl+Alt+P (on Mac: Cmd+Alt+P). The General tab is selected by default.

The Preferences dialog showing the General tab, with the Manual and Automatic Propagation, Infinite Scroll, and Modes sections visible. The side menu on the left shows "General" selected and "Shortcuts" below it.

Manual and Automatic Propagation

Propagation copies your translation to all repeated segments in the active document. Use this section to control when and how propagation happens.

Note

Propagation is restricted to the active document. It does not affect segments in other documents.

The Manual and Automatic Propagation section, showing "Keep existing" selected and both toggles in the off position.

Infinite Scroll

Choose how you browse through segments in the grid:

• Enable infinite scroll (toggle): When enabled, all segments in scope are loaded continuously as you scroll. The Editor displays the total count at the bottom of the grid, and the scrollbar adjusts to the total content size. This mode works with any scope and number of segments.

• Pagination (default): When infinite scroll is disabled, the Editor divides segments into pages. Use the controls at the bottom of the grid to navigate between pages and set the number of segments per page.

These two modes are mutually exclusive.

The Infinite Scroll section showing the "Enable infinite scroll" toggle switched on.

Modes

Use the theme toggle to switch between Light mode, Dark mode, or Match browser to automatically follow your browser’s color scheme. Your selection takes effect immediately and is remembered for future sessions.

To restore all settings on this tab to their original values, click Reset to defaults.

Keyboard Shortcuts

Select the Shortcuts tab to view and manage all keyboard shortcuts available in the Editor. Shortcuts are organized by category and each one displays its current key combination.

The Shortcuts tab showing shortcut categories and their key combinations, with the search bar at the top.

Finding a Shortcut

Use the search bar at the top of the tab to locate a shortcut by its name or key combination. The list filters in real time as you type.

Editing a Shortcut

Follow these steps to change a keyboard shortcut:

1. Click on the key combination next to the shortcut you want to change. The field enters edit mode and the current value is selected.

2. Press the new key combination on your keyboard.

3. If the combination is valid, it is saved automatically. Click outside the field or press Enter to confirm.

The Editor validates your input and shows a warning if the combination is already assigned to another shortcut, is an invalid key combination, or is reserved by the system or browser. Press Esc to cancel the change and revert to the previous value.

Resetting Shortcuts

• To reset a single shortcut to its default value, click the reset icon next to it. This icon only appears for shortcuts you have customized.

• To restore all shortcuts to their defaults at once, click Reset to defaults.

Shortcut Categories

Shortcuts are organized into the following categories:

• General: Open panels and tools (Search, AI, Memory Finder, Term Finder, QA, Fields, Filters, Batch Actions, and more).

• Overview: Navigate between Overview panel tabs (Comments, Revisions, Properties, Timeline).

• Memory Finder: Trigger a memory search for the selected segment.

• Term Finder: Trigger a term search for the selected segment.

• Navigation: Move between segments, cells, empty segments, unconfirmed segments, and unlocked segments.
