Keyboard shortcuts (CAT editor)

All keyboard shortcuts available in the Taia CAT editor. Most of them are also listed in the editor itself: click the ⋯ button at the right end of the footer.

Segment navigation​

ShortcutAction
Ctrl+ArrowDownMove to next segment (without saving)
Ctrl+ArrowUpMove to previous segment (without saving)
Ctrl+UJump to the next segment you haven't saved yet
Ctrl+BToggle the resources sidebar

Ctrl+U skips everything you've already edited or confirmed, so it's the fastest way to finish a review. When nothing is left, the editor tells you every segment has been reviewed. See what counts as a reviewed segment.

Editing​

ShortcutAction
Ctrl+EnterSave or confirm the segment, then move to the next
Ctrl+Shift+EnterSave or confirm the segment, stay where you are
Ctrl+ICopy the source text into the target field
Ctrl+Shift+CCopy the source text into the target field (same as Ctrl+I)
Alt+TInsert the next missing formatting tag
Shift+F3Cycle the case of the selected text, or the whole segment: lowercase, UPPERCASE, Title Case
Ctrl+HOpen Find & Replace
Ctrl+ZUndo
Ctrl+YRedo

Right-click in the target text for more editing tools, including spelling suggestions and tag actions. See the right-click menu.

The two save shortcuts work whether or not you changed the text. Saving an unchanged segment records it as Confirmed — approved as-is.
