The reason is that, although the sequence Ctrl+Insert, Ctrl+Alt+Insert involves 5 keys, it is almost instantaneous, as your fingers virtually do not move when pressing these 5 key sequence (it requires just a few seconds to practice it). Thank you for this tip, some apps do not take any of the available input methods, so you've got to copy to the clipboard manually.Īctually I personally prefer to work always in "manual mode" so I do not need to remember if the application supports or not automatic copy and paste as input method (this is set up in Tools->Settings).īut I wanted to mention that when we initially designed Xbench, we chose Ctrl+Alt+Insert because the manual copy key combination we had in mind was Ctrl+Insert instead of Ctrl+C. Remember that most hotkeys can be changed in Xbench: if you do not want to use Ctrl+Alt+Ins and Ctrl+Alt+Backspace - for example because they are already used by another application - you can change them in the Settings window (Tools -> Settings -> Layout & Hotkeys).įor more information about Xbench and how it can help your translations, a good place to start is my presentation, which you can download from the Xbench tab above. ![]() The workaround is to highlight the text to search, use Ctrl+C to copy it to the clipboard, and only then use the Ctrl+Alt+Ins (or Ctrl+Alt+Backspace) hotkeys. ![]() In certain applications, however (for example in SDLX), these hotkeys do not work: if you highlight some text and press Ctrl+Alt+Ins Xbench appears, but in the search box you get the last content of your clipboard, instead of the text you had highlighted. ![]() When using Xbench as a terminology reference tool, in many translation applications you can select the test you want to look up by highlighting it, then using the Ctrl+Alt+Ins hotkey to invoke Xbench and send that text to Xbench's source search box (or Ctrl+Alt+Backspace to send that text to the target search box).
