Save time with Placeables using the Tabulator shortcut
There is a brand new time-saver within Wordfast! In version 5.52z and higher, the Tab key can now be used to transfer placeables from source to target segment almost instantly. When in the target segment, type the first letter of a placeable in the source segment (case-sensitive), then hit the Tab key. Wordfast will insert the placeable into your translation.
Benefits:
- The tab key is large, easy to hit, and conveniently located.
- On most segments, the capital letter of a source placeable (usually, a person's name, or brand name) is all it takes to grab it on the first try.
- This method not only increases productivity, it also enhances quality – you don’t have to retype, therefore common typos are avoided.
