The Term Picker is a compact overlay that shows all matched terms for the current segment in a sortable, keyboard-navigable list. It is useful when TermLens shows many matches and you want a quick overview without scrolling.
Opening the Term Picker
Press Ctrl+Alt+Down to open the Term Picker. It appears as a floating window above the editor.
Colour-coded rows
Each row in the Term Picker is colour-coded by termbase type:
Pink
Project termbase term
Blue
Regular Supervertaler termbase term
Yellow
Non-translatable term
Green
MultiTerm termbase term (.sdltb)
This lets you instantly see where each term comes from and how it should be handled.
Expandable synonyms
Terms with multiple translations display a right-arrow indicator (▸) next to the term. To expand and see all synonym sub-rows:
Select the row and press the Right arrow key
The sub-rows appear below the parent term, showing each available translation
Press Left arrow to collapse the synonyms again.
Keyboard navigation
The Term Picker is designed for fast keyboard use:
0-9
Type a number to jump directly to that term
Enter
Insert the selected term and close the picker
Escape
Close the picker without inserting
Up / Down
Navigate between terms (wraps around)
Right
Expand synonyms for the selected term
Left
Collapse synonyms
Navigation wraps around: pressing Down on the last term jumps to the first, and Up on the first jumps to the last.
Inserting a term
You can insert a term in two ways:
Click any row to insert that term at the cursor position in the target field
Press Enter on the selected row to insert and close
The selected translation is placed at the current cursor position in the target segment.
The Term Picker shows the same matches as TermLens, but in a flat list format that is easier to scan when there are many results.
