Hello everyone, I’m new here.

I will need to use Studio on a Mac machine, using VMware virtual machine.
Almost everything works well, except for some shortcuts…
For example, I can’t find a way to control+click on a tag to copy a tag pair from source to target. Any idea?
Thank you very much!

Didn't know that one. Just tested it on VMware Fusion 12.2.4 with Windows 10: works exactly as expected.

Is there a way to have the caret automatically placed between the inserted tags?

My Trados version is 2022.

Doesn’t work for me. It’ll just behave as a right button mouse click… So I have to copy and paste the tags…which is cumbersome.
Thank you for your reply.

Have a look at your host settings under Sys Prefs. Mouse, secondary key.

Thank you, this worked. Checked keyboard and mouse preferences for WM and there was a shortcut active for command+primary button that would trigger “button 3”.
