Hi there,
Is there any way to add terms (with Alt+T) using only your keyboard, in the Memsource for Web editor? That is, I select e.g. the source term, press Alt+T, but then I have to use my mouse to select the target term (and press Alt+T again). It would be great if, once I press Alt+T, the caret was placed in the src/trgt box, respectively, so I could then select the term's counterpart without having to use the mouse.

I think you can use tab to switch between source and target. Plus Ctrl+[Shift]+arrows to navigate [and select]. And Alt+Tab both in target and source to insert a term into the Add Term fields.
For example, when you are in target:
1. Ctrl+Shift+Left or right arrow to select a target term.
2. Alt+Tab to insert the target term into the Add Term field.
3. Tab to switch to source.
4. Ctrl+arrow to navigate to a source term.
5. Ctrl+Shift+Left or right arrow to sele... See more I think you can use tab to switch between source and target. Plus Ctrl+[Shift]+arrows to navigate [and select]. And Alt+Tab both in target and source to insert a term into the Add Term fields.

6. Alt+Tab to insert the source term into the Add Term field.
7. Enter to save the pair of terms.

Hi Stepan,
Two points:
(1) I think you meant Alt+T, rather than Alt+Tab.
(2) Your suggestion doesn't work. The problem is:
2. Alt+T to insert the target term into the Add Term field.
3. Tab to switch to source.
After clicking Alt+T to insert the target term into the Add Term field, the caret (cursor) is sent somewhere else in the UI, so pressing Tab doesn't switch to source.

Wait a minute, I just tried it and now it does work. Very strange. It really wasn't working before. Will do some more testing.
OK, I figured it out. It works as you described if you start from the target box. If you start from the source box, it doesn't work.

Alt+Tab is a typo, right you are. Alt+T of course.
