Is it possible in Worfast to change/disable a shortcut?
In Dutch, and I assume in other languages too, we use " with a space because you can also use it to write ë/ü/ï etc.. This means I use the combination shift-"-space quite a lot. But this always confuses Wordfast to think I want to anlyse the job. Again. And again. And again. I did not know how often I used shift-space until I started working with WordFast. Is there any way to stop this?

Classic? Version of Word? May 1, 2010

Not sure if you're talking about WFC, shift+space isn't assigned as a shortcut on my version of WFC, but anyhow, it's quite easy to delete/reassign shortcuts, you have to do it from the Word shortcuts menu.

I had the same problem and I resolved it by removing the shortcut altogether. The procedure to do so is as follows:

a) in the main interface toolbox, choose Edit > Preferences. The Preferences (Filtered) screen appears.
b) in the left-hand navigation chose General > Text.
c) from the list in the window to the right of the navigation menu, select the Analyze command.

From here on, you have two options:

From here on, you have two options:
d1) to remove the shortcut altogether, click the Remove Binding option just below the window. Then click Apply and OK on the bottom right.
d2) to assign a different key combination as the shortcut for the Analyze function, click in the binding window and adjust the preset key combinations to your preference. Click Apply and OK on the bottom right.

Hope this resolves your issue.

Best, Klemen. ▲ Collapse
