New page

In [[Wordfast Pro]], you can select words using the shortcut {{key|Alt}}+{{key|Shift}}+{{key|Right}}.

Is it possible to use the keyboard shortcuts Ctrl+Shift+Right/Left to select words and sentences?

The shortcuts Ctrl+Shift+Arrows are now assigned to other commands, namely "Next Term/Placeable" and "Previous Term/Placeable" that allow a user to use the same shortcut for both terminology and placeables.

The Solution: You can change these shortcuts:

* Go to WFP "Edit" > "Preferences" > "Keys"
* Place the cursor on the command "Next Term/Placeable" (and later, "Previous Term/Placeable"); you should now see the shortcut in the textbox labelled "Binding".
* Remove it by your "Backspace" or by clicking on the "Remove Binding" button. Make sure the textbox is empty.
* You can insert another unassigned shortcut or you can just leave it empty.
* Click "Apply".

'''Then...'''

* Place the cursor on the command "Select Next Word" (and later, "Select Previous Word"); you should now see the shortcut in the textbox labelled "Binding".
* Remove it by your "Backspace" or by clicking on the "Remove Binding" button. Make sure the textbox is empty.
* Now, insert the shortcut {{key|Ctrl}}+{{key|Shift}}+{{key|Right}}.
* Click "OK" to save changes.

Now, you should be able to use {{key|Ctrl}}+{{key|Shift}}+{{key|Right}} to select words in [[Wordfast Pro]].
