What I'm missing so far in the Mac SV (or haven't yet found): #211

Hi @Wolfpack50! 1Regarding AutoComplete, I purposefully didn't implement this yet, or try to, because I haven't really found it necessary. Pressing the Ctrl key calls up the TermLens popup, which shows you a list of all termbase matches in sentence order. You can either navigate to one with your arrow keys and press Enter to insert it, or use the Alt+1, Alt+2, etc. shortcuts to insert them. The TermLens pane is also permanently visible in the match panel on the right of the grid. You can also press Ctrl+Shift+P to call up the TermPicker, which is an alternative way to view your termbase matches: TermPicker:
TermLens:
This is a substantial feature to add, and especially to do it properly. However, it's on the roadmap, and I will definitely be adding it soon! I want to make sure that how I implement it does not interfere with dictation, which is a problem in certain CAT tools. 2Regarding German quotes – yes, this is a good idea, and I'll implement it as a general typographic auto-convert / AutoCorrect-while-typing system rather than just German-specific. Different target languages have completely different conventions (German What I'd build:
I'll open a tracking issue for this and you'll be the first person tagged when it ships. 3Regarding Replace in Source Text – you're right, that's a real bug. I've just tested it locally and confirmed it on both Windows and macOS. There's a checkbox in Settings → General → "Allow Replace in Source Text" which is supposed to make the source cells editable (and which does show the red warning banner you've described), but the underlying delegate isn't actually flipping the cell to writable mode – so neither double-clicking the cell nor using Find & Replace with "Search in: source" works as intended. I'll dig into this and post a fix as soon as I can. Thanks for catching it – it had been silently broken. 4Regarding Toggle upper/lower case – yes, Shift+F3 is a very good fit (Word does this; memoQ and Trados both have an equivalent). I'll bind it to cycle the selected text through lowercase → Sentence case → UPPERCASE → back to lowercase, the way Word does. If no text is selected, it'll operate on the word under the cursor. This is a small change so I should be able to slot it in quickly. 5Re working shortcuts on the Mac, as far as I know, most shortcuts do work on the Mac, but obviously they're different than the Windows ones. I have tried to indicate in the program, when the user is on a Mac, which Mac shortcuts should be used rather than print the Windows equivalents when a user opens the program on a Mac, but perhaps this hasn't worked properly throughout. Can you mention a few specific shortcuts that are not working for you, and I can investigate? Michael |

Hi @Wolfpack50 — good news on several of these. Shipped over the weekend in v1.10.230 (latest Windows build: https://github.com/Supervertaler/Supervertaler-Workbench/releases/latest): ✅ Replacing source now worksThat was a genuine bug — the warning banner turned on but the cells stayed locked on both Windows and macOS. Fixed. Two ways to edit source now:
✅ German quotes — and a lot moreRather than hard-code German, I built a general AutoCorrect-while-typing engine with its own Settings → ✍️ AutoCorrect tab:
Docs: https://help.supervertaler.com/workbench/settings/autocorrect/ ✅ Toggle upper/lower caseShift+F3 in the target cell now cycles the selection (or the word under the cursor) through lowercase → Sentence case → UPPERCASE → back, exactly like Word. ⏳ AutoComplete (TM/TB prompter)Still on the roadmap, as discussed — I want to be sure it doesn't fight with dictation before I add it. ❓ Mac shortcutsThis one I still can't act on without specifics — could you name a couple of shortcuts that don't work for you on the Mac (and what happens when you press them)? Then I can dig in. Thanks again for all the detailed feedback — it directly drove this release. |

Hi Michael
Mac shortcuts:
The most noticeable as of yesterday and today: CMD+, : Insert next tag. SV jumps to "Settings" page instead.
CMDENTER appears twice for two different commands: Save&Next segment and Line Break.
When confirming Draft segments with CMDEnter, the draft pencil disappears only to reappear on the next CMDEnter. So draft segments cannot be confirmed.
I will try with another German keyboard. I'm using plain "German" right now, wil try German Microsoft and German ABC-QWERTZ and report if behaviour changes.
Will report other strange behaviours when I find them.
Thank you for your prompt answers and the good work!
Wolfgang

✅ Replacing source now works
That was a genuine bug — the warning banner turned on but the cells stayed locked on both Windows and macOS. Fixed. Two ways to edit source now:
Per-cell (recommended for one-offs): click into a source cell, press F2, edit, then press Esc / Tab / click away to exit. memoQ/Trados convention — no need to go via Settings.
Globally: the Settings → General → "Allow Replace in Source Text" checkbox now genuinely makes every source cell editable (amber background as a danger reminder).
✅ German quotes — and a lot more
Rather than hard-code German, I built a general AutoCorrect-while-typing engine with its own Settings → ✍️ AutoCorrect tab:
Smart quotes by target language — German „…“, French « … » (with the correct narrow non-breaking spaces), Russian/Italian «…», English “…”, plus ~15 more language profiles.
Straight apostrophe → curly (don't → don’t), ... → …, -- → –.
French targets also get the narrow NBSP before : ; ! ? automatically.
Each rule has its own toggle. Backspace immediately after a conversion reverts it (Word-style) if it guessed wrong.
It won't fire inside tags, on paste, or on dictation, so it stays out of the way.
Docs: https://help.supervertaler.com/workbench/settings/autocorrect/
✅ Toggle upper/lower case
Shift+F3 in the target cell now cycles the selection (or the word under the cursor) through lowercase → Sentence case → UPPERCASE → back, exactly like Word.
⏳ AutoComplete (TM/TB prompter)
Still on the roadmap, as discussed — I want to be sure it doesn't fight with dictation before I add it.
❓ Mac shortcuts
This one I still can't act on without specifics — could you name a couple of shortcuts that don't work for you on the Mac (and what happens when you press them)? Then I can dig in.
Thanks again for all the detailed feedback — it directly drove this release.

Hi Michael
thanks for your answers.
See my screenshot for CMD+Enter twice in the Shortcut settings page, on top and bottom. It works OK for Save&Next segment, So Line break must get another shortcut.
For sticky draft segments, I will check again tomorrow.
Changing keyboard layouts did not change anything to the mentioned problem.
Two more findings:
- Find&replace does not replace. The window is just sitting there, nothing happens.
- On quitting SV from the File menu, the window closes but the app does not really quit, it's active in the dock and I have to quit it there.

Hi @Wolfpack50 <https://github.com/Wolfpack50> – thanks, this is really helpful. Quick status on all three:
✅ Cmd+, → Settings – fixed (coming in the next build)
This one I could reproduce, and it's now fixed.

Hi Wolfgang (@Wolfpack50 ) – thanks, that's all really useful. Status on the four: Cmd+Enter shown twice → fixed. You were right: the Keyboard Shortcuts list had a stale, wrong label — Insert Line Break was listed as Ctrl+Enter when its real binding is Shift+Enter (Ctrl+Enter is only Save & Next). So it was a display bug, not a real double-binding. The list now shows Shift+Enter; fixed in the next build! Quit behaviour → partly by design, partly a bug I've now fixed. Two separate things here:
Find & Replace not replacing — I can't reproduce this (I open it with Cmd+F, enter a find/replace, click Replace All, and it works on the same build). Could you give me the exact steps when it fails? Specifically: is "Search in: Source/Target" set; is there an active filter on the grid; and does Find Next / Find All find anything, or is it Replace specifically that does nothing? A screenshot of the dialog with your entries would help a lot. Draft-sticky / Cmd+Enter not confirming — whenever you get a chance to re-check on the latest build, let me know; I couldn't reproduce it here, and you've ruled out keyboard layout, so any repro detail will help. Thanks again — the line-break catch and the quit issue were both good finds. Michael PS: I currently don't have access to my own MacBook. I am using my daughter's, which makes troubleshooting a little cumbersome. However, I am saving up and will be getting one as soon as I can so that the Mac version of Supervertaler Workbench can become a first-class citizen! |

Hi Michael
I didn't realize that Find&Replace works also on TD entries. I confirm that it is working.
Sticky draft segments: see my screenshot. All these segments have been confirmed both with CMD+Enter (main) as with CMD+Enter (numeric keypad) but they go away and then come back on proceeding to the next segment with CMD+Enter.

Closing the window (the red close button on macOS, the X on Windows) is intentional: Supervertaler backgrounds itself — to the dock on macOS, the tray on Windows — so its SuperLookup global hotkey and the Clipboard Manager keep working when no window is open.
But Quit Supervertaler / ⌘Q should genuinely quit — and it wasn't; it was wrongly backgrounding like a window-close. That was a real bug, now fixed: ⌘Q (and the Quit Supervertaler menu item) terminates the app properly in the next build. The red close button still backgrounds, as intended.

Just one more little thing:
