Hello
I am translating a presentation in Tag Editor and when it comes to using the short keys for inserting placeables, all I do is to rotate the screen.
I believe I have to change something in the settings of my computer as this is what a technician did when it happened to me 6 months ago. I'm not an in-house translator anymore so: no technician.
Please, anybody knows how to change this settings so that I can press

Please, anybody knows how to change this settings so that I can press
Alt+Ctrl+Left/Down/Right without getting funny screens for people suffering from torticolis?
Thank you very very much in advance
Kind regards
Marta

The issue is related to your system settings, not to Trados or TE (so I disagree with Ralf, it should be in General technical issues). However, it is hard to determine where it is located exactly.

If your monitor has been shipped with its own bundled software, then I would start looking there (maybe there is a monitor-specific icon in the system tray, where you can set different options for your monitor)?
If your computer is a tablet, or a laptop with rotating screen, then it would be the manufacturer's bundled software (a good try might be to right-click on your desktop, if you see any items which mention specifically the make of your computer, then it would be a good place to start).
In my computer such options are available in the graphic cards driver settings (right-click on the desktop, then Properties, the Settings tab, then Advanced/GeForce/Keyboard shortcuts), so you might look around there too (but it might be different, as most business computers have onboard graphics cards - mine is a gaming rig).
I am afraid that is all I can tell you without knowing the specifics of your system. Even then it might be hard to get to it, as it would require knowledge of that particular system. ▲ Collapse

Hi Jabberwock,
The issue is related to your system settings, not to Trados or TE (so I disagree with Ralf, it should be in General technical issues). However, it is hard to determine where it is located exactly.
Point taken. (Note that I moved it from the (general) CAT tool Support forum.) Let's see how this develops.
Marta, what kind of keyboard are you using?
I had some problems with the Get translation shortcut in TagEditor - I first needed to deactivate the extended functions assigned to the function keys at the top of the keyboard.
Best regards
Ralf

TOPIC STARTER | that was it, the graphics options! | May 11, 2006 |
Hello Jabberwock and Ralf
Thank you very much indeed, you been very helpful!
Finally, it was nothing major and it was solved by doing what Jabberwock mentioned:
- right clicking on desktop
- select "graphics options">"hot keys">"disable"
Kind regards
P.D.: Ralf, this is the first time I ask something in the Forum, I'm not sure if I now have to submit a ticket to support to have this topic close. Thank you.

P.D.: In case it is helpful in the future: the computer I use is a laptop with Intel Inside Celeron and Windows XP.
