Keyboard Shortcuts (Trados)
All keyboard shortcuts available in Supervertaler for Trados, with Mac equivalents for users running Trados in Parallels.
:::note Mac users (Parallels): Ctrl = Control, Alt = Option on Mac keyboards. Check Parallels → Preferences → Shortcuts if your modifier key mapping differs. :::
:::caution Trados conflict with Ctrl+Alt+T: Trados Studio assigns this shortcut to "Insert TM Symbol" by default. If Ctrl+Alt+T does nothing, go to File → Options → Keyboard Shortcuts, search for "Insert TM Symbol", and remove or reassign its shortcut to free up Ctrl+Alt+T for Supervertaler. :::
:::caution Trados conflict with Ctrl+Q: Trados Studio assigns Ctrl+Q to "View Internally Source" by default. This action is rarely used. To free up Ctrl+Q for the QuickLauncher, go to File → Options → Keyboard Shortcuts, search for "View Internally Source", and remove or reassign its shortcut. :::

Shortcuts for Terms 10+
When a segment has more than 9 matched terms, you can still insert terms by number using Alt+digit. TermLens offers two shortcut styles – choose the one you prefer in Settings > TermLens > Term shortcuts.
Sequential (default)
Type the term number digit by digit. Each badge shows the plain term number (10, 11, 12, ...).
Alt+10
Option+10
Term 10
Alt+23
Option+23
Term 23
Alt+45
Option+45
Term 45
After the first digit, TermLens waits briefly for a possible second (or third) digit. If no further digit is pressed, the single-digit term is inserted.
Repeated digit
Press the same digit key multiple times. Each badge shows the repeated digit (11, 222, 3333, ...).
