Puzzled with the auto-assembling pane

Side note: I recently found out that the "auto-assembly pane" does not exist in CT, only an "auto-assembling pane". I have no idea which on eis really correct English, but it would be nice if the FreshDesk Search in the Help section would be tolerant enough to find it anyway, no matter what you enter.


When I started with CT, there was always the AA pane popping up until I deactivated it. Now  I am working on a project where it would IMHO make sense (huge TM, huge TB, many correct AA results and some fuzzies) to use the automatic popping-up AA pane, also in the meantime I think it is more convenient to use the AA pane and arrow down/up to enter fuzzies.


But I do not find the setting anymore, sorry, I am puzzled. Always hitting F1 is no solution, I think.



IIRC it's in the menus somewhere. View?

As far as I see not in "View".

I once asked the same question on this forum, missing this auto-pop-up feature. The developer said it was replaced by the new powerful Match Bar (i.e., this feature was removed simultaneously with the introduction of MB).


And I stopped asking any further. No use talking with people who claim it's red when it looks blue to me.

Hi Torsten,


The Match Bar featuring the Auto-assembly result and fuzzy matches can be floated via View > Toolbars > Float match bar. Then, the floated panel displays all the fuzzy matches without the need to hover the mouse over it.

Okay, I tried this out, but

  • the floating match bar does (obviously?) not have any keyboard functions – with the auto-assembling pane I could simply go up and down with the arrow keys
  • the floating match bar has a fixed size, not a flexible size as the auto-assembling pane
  • the floating match bar is always visible (this is in its nature of course, but in opposite to the auto-assembling pane, that is hidden after using it)


Is there any hope to get back the simple, but effective auto-assembling pane without hitting F1? Or at least to get a floating match bar with keyboard commands?


Just one bug (Hans already mentioned this, if I remember correctly):

The floating match bar is always on top, even of the F&R dialogue. You need to pull the F&R dialogue aside, as it pops up under the floating match bar.

Bonus question:


I have a segment saying:

This car is red – This car is blue – This car is yellow.

I have two TM fragment hits showing up for:

This car is red

This car is blue


Where do I need to tick in the preferences or in the menus to have these fragment hits appearing 

  • in the first auto assembling result (that actually shows only the TB hits inserted) and/or
  • as fragment hits itself in the floating match bar

This is a beginners' question, I know.

Torsten: Bonus question


I always go for bonus questions, especially when the real CT connoisseurs don't show up. However, I don't use the Match Bar, and I don't use that other pane (I don't even know what it's called) either, I use Insert Matches, with a high threshold (90%).
