Hello WF PRO community, I really need your help, before considering a full formating of my PC. Since yesterday, I cannot work with WF Pro anymore, the "next segment and commit to TM" (alt+down) shortcut is not working. I use WF Pro v 3.4.3 on a PC with Windows 7 and have not changed my PC configuration at all. There is a good connection with the TM, I already checked everything I know, I even tried installing 2 previous WF Pro versions that used to work, b... See more Hello WF PRO community, I really need your help, before considering a full formating of my PC. Since yesterday, I cannot work with WF Pro anymore, the "next segment and commit to TM" (alt+down) shortcut is not working. I use WF Pro v 3.4.3 on a PC with Windows 7 and have not changed my PC configuration at all. There is a good connection with the TM, I already checked everything I know, I even tried installing 2 previous WF Pro versions that used to work, but nothing. Clicking on the icon works, but I cannot translate like that. It would take ages to complete my translation. I also checked my keyboard, it is OK too. I contacted the WF hotline and, of course, they only recommended to upgrade to the last version, which I already have. Useless and disappointing! I've been using WF Pro for many years now and never had any problem. All suggestions are welcome! Thank you all for your time, Hedwig ▲ Collapse | | | John Di Rico France Local time: 01:57 Member (2006) French to English Potential reasons | Apr 10, 2015 |

Hi John, Thank you for your quick reply. I checked and reassigned the shortcut, as you suggested. It does nothing and it shows as if it were OK. Yes, it looks like the shortcut was hijacked but I don't see by what program. I haven't installed any new software, I've even disabled automatic updates to avoid this kind of issue. I'll keep looking. Thanks anyway! Hedwig | | | Hedwig Spitzer (X) Peru French to Spanish + ... TOPIC STARTER Partially solved | Apr 10, 2015 |
I managed to reassign Ctrl+down instead of Alt+down and it seems to be working. It is not the best solution but I can at least get some work done. Thanks! Hedwig | |

Has anyone else got the same problem? For me it's this - some segments are confirmed with Alt+Down. For some segments this shortcut doesn't work. Once I press Alt+Down the cursor is taken to the beginning of the sentence and nothing else happens. I can go to the next sentence by pressing Ctrl+Down. BUT... once I come to repetitions and matches, the TM does not automatically populate the translation. This is extremely unhelpful, as I am working on a file that contains about 60% repetitions.
