SDL Trados - Enter as "Confirm, go to Next Segment" key shortcut


Read this for the business case, aka the background: KB #3188 |  Assigning the Enter key as keyboard shortcut to confirming a segment does not appear to work

How to do it?
Open SDL Trados, Options, Shortcuts. Change Copy SourceToTarget to key F10, so that a <SettingsGroup Id="ShortcutsSettingsGroup"> is created in SDL XML options.

Locate UserSettings.xml, usually in C:\Users\[Username]\AppData\Roaming\SDL\SDL Trados Studio\11.0.0.0\UserSettings.xml

Paste this to the end thereof, overwriting the existing Shortcuts group:

  <SettingsGroup Id="ShortcutsSettingsGroup">
    <Setting Id="CopySourceToTargetAction">
      <Value>F10</Value>
    </Setting>
    <Setting Id="ConfirmAndMoveToNextUnconfirmedSegmentAction">
      <Value>Enter</Value>
    </Setting>
    <Setting Id="EditCurrentTranslationUnitAction" />
  </SettingsGroup>




That's it! Now reopen SDL Trados and press Enter in the edit view to test it.
