> an additional button...
The additional button for switching between "New Term" and "New Fragment" dialogs has been added in the build 2018100403. After all, this new UI element is more intuitive than holding CTRL key. Context segments have been made clickable in the filtered view.
Please download and install this new build (2018100403) as described in the announcement post above. Thanks!

A more sophisticated but easier solution would be a change from "Cancel" to "Switch" when pressing Ctrl (and indeed propagating this feature).

Yes, that's a good idea but I need to see a broader interest in this feature to justify another UI button.
> I only have a Cancel button
Yes, it is the Cancel button (not Close).

I only have a Cancel button, but closing the "New Term" dialog via the Cancel button with Ctrl pressed works in the manner described above. It even switches back.
Nice, but not intuitive. Perhaps an additional shortcut would do even better work. Or an additional button "Switch to fragment memories" / "Switch to glossaries". There is still plenty of space in these dialog boxes.
> Clone or Duplicate
Both are pretty good approximations. :)

Maybe my problem above was due to some delay in saving the file (I'd expect that this happens immediately when auto-save = 1).
Good question: What happens when Auto-Save = 0? Never save automatically, I assume?
BTW: the preferences say "Auto-Save" the 2 occurrences in the Solutions section say "Autosave" (Freshdesk does not have a heuristic search funktion, so searching "Auto-save" results in 0 pages. I assume the 1st one is the correct version.
> Holding the CTRL key while closing the "New Term" dialog switches to the "New fragment" dialog
while closing the "New Term" dialog via the Close button. I should have made it clearer.

> How about changing the name from Clone to Sibling?
Instead of sibling would prefer Clone or Duplicate (well, after changing it is neither a clone nor a duplicate, to be exact), so "New Term" would be the precise naming here.

Strange. Now they all are there (Auto-save was 1).

Same here. I even reactivated the term window. Maybe a wrong key allocation, or because we have customized the term shortcut. Would be nice to have the same for the shortcut without new term window (with the writable memories with fragments automatically selected).

• Added "Clone" function to "Term Editor". It enables the creation of a new term based on the currently edited term.
> What should I see?
Igor: A duplicate (or rather a derived) entry in your glossary. Of course, there is no point of making an exact copy. You might wish to change something in the edited entry.
Correct. Thanks!
• Holding the CTRL key while closing the "New Term" dialog switches to the "New fragment" dialog. The switch also works while closing the "New fragment" dialog.
> nothing seems to happen.
Igor: The switch should happen if you have a glossary and a TM with enabled Fragments option activated.
Tested twice. Memory set to Segments and Fragments. Still the dialogue box doesn't switch when I click on OK.
Anyone else on Mac?
> No, nothing
Please make a search or find a match for the cloned term.
> maybe the button should be greyed out until one of the terms has been changed?
The new build (2018100402) has the Clone button grayed initially. Thanks!

If I understand correctly, you need to change first and the click "Clone" (because only clicking "Clone" closes the term window). However, to make the procedure clearer, maybe the button should be greyed out until one of the terms has been changed?`
tre
> A duplicate (or rather a derived) entry in your glossary.
No, nothing. I can change the term and click on Clone, but after checking the glossary with an external editor, nothing has happened. Maybe because "display longest only" is being activated?
Even if there happened something, a kind of visual hint (short blinking of the button, changing the button color to green) for this special operation before closing the window would reassure the user.
