Post title: Preferences
Dear Joachim,
You are not the only one to experience this frustration.
The secret lies in changing your preferences so that Alt+Down arrow commits but does not leverage the next segment.
You do so by unticking the box in this section of the preferences: [url removed]
I think it might be better to replace a preference tick box by making a new command and assigning a shortcut. This way you don't have to go back and forth ticking and unticking this box between jobs.
My suggestion:
Alt+Enter could be used to commit current segment, confirm it (if unconfirmed), and move to next segment without leveraging the next segment.
Currently Alt+Enter is used to unconfirm a segment (all segments are confirmed by default) and also to confirm it if it had been unconfirmed. WFC uses F10 to do the same thing. The shortcut to confirm/unconfirm a current segment could be replaced with F10.
Comments? Other ideas?
Hope this helps!
John
