What's that keyboard shortcut for quickly changing a selected term into its 1st alternative? Forgot it again.

e.g.:

I have a gloss entry:

nl>en

motor>engine; motor

my target text has "engine", but I want to quickly change it to "motor".

if I right-click on "engine", I am shown the word motor in the list, and can click it with the mouse. but isn't there a KBS for that. I can do it with AHK, but would prefer a native CT KBS.

I know about Alt+R, which is Replace with alternative spelling

 this works too:

; automatically change selected term to Glossary alternative/synonym

^q::
MouseClick, right
Sleep, 75
Send {Down 1} 
Sleep, 75
Send {Enter}
Return

Wow, this is actually very handy, in this long document where I keep getting near perfect results from Google Translate or DeepL, but keep having to manually change certain key terms that the MT engines consistently get wrong. Add both versions to a Glossary entry once, and every time after that, I can just select the wrong term and hit Ctrl+Q.

>Add both versions to a Glossary entry once

Yep, that's an approach that I use constantly :). 

Perhaps this could/should be made available for terms in TMs too?

Nah. Just kidding. 

Yes, it would make their lack of proper synonym support more bearable.

Of course meant to write:

Add both versions to a Glossary entry once, and every time after that, I can just select the wrong term and hit Ctrl+Q.

->

Hi Igor,

I changed that to another function (Transfer source segment). What is it called in the KBS settings area, so I can find and change it?
