I've having the same problem with WFP 4 speed. For example, I often type out entire words or phrases from the glossary before they pop up as a translation option. (In WFP 3, they popped up immediately and I just had to press enter. Saved me lots of typing time!)
When I click on an empty target segment, it takes a good 2 or 3 seconds for it to change color and become editable.
Another issue is that the shortcut offered for copying over tags from the source segment (Cntrl + Alt + Down) moves my entire computer screen around and does not affect the source segment. I can't figure out what the proper shortcut is, so for now I have to go to the " Translation" section of the ribbon, then click the >> icon at the end, then click on copy. Very inefficient for something I have to do dozens of times a day.
I'm a big WordFast Pro 3 fan and I'd like to move forward and get settled with WPF4 because there are a lot of new and good features in it, but if I find myself wasting too much time, I may just go back to WFP3. [/quote]
Dear Danielle,
Just curious, why are you clicking on segments? Normally, you should be using shortcut keys to navigate between segments.
As for your computer screen flipping around, this is because your graphics card uses the same shortcut keys to change the orientation of your screen. Disable them in your graphics card settings or change the WF default shortcut keys to something else. You can do this in the preferences.
For speed issues, it could be related to where you are saving your project or TM. If you are saving them to a Dropbox or Google Drive folder for example, this takes a lot of computer memory because it is constantly re-syncing the files.
Kind regards,
John
