I'm new to WF Pro 5. I'm working on a large editing project and have a few questions and comments:
1) Search/Replace: how do I get keyboard shortcuts? In WF Pro 3 I could hit "R" and "N". For now I am doing a lot of mouse clicking. 2) How do I Replace without jumping to next item? I could do this in WF Pro 3 but apparently not in 5. 3) How do I jump to the first segment? The last segment?

4) When you do a Replace All, it doesn't tell you how many instances were replaced. Can this be fixed? 5) You have to click out of a segment to see a misspelled word underlined. Can this be fixed? 6) I can't highlight different parts of a segment by holding down the Ctl key. Can this be fixed?

Hi Hans.
Somehow the text of my original post got deleted. Luckily my handy Ditto Editor had copied it so I just pasted it back in.
Any ideas on my questions?

1) The shortcuts I want are not listed under Preferences. When I hit Ctl-H and get the Find/Replace dialog, I can only Find/Replace by clicking my mouse, and clicking and clicking and clicking. In WF Pro 3 I just needed to hit either "N" or R" on my keyboard.
3) In WF Pro 3 I could just hit Ctl-Start or Ctl-End. Scrolling with the mouse is not so elegant to me.

Thanks for your question 3), I just discovered that CTRL+Start / CTRL+End do work on the Mac. AFAIK this is undocumented. And there's a Goto segment (CMD+segment number), too, but you have to know the segment number you want to go to.
