Is it possible to select multiple segments in dvx3? In other CAT tools eg Trados you click on the numbers in the left hand margin holding down the shift key. I can't find any way to do this in DVX3 in order to eg change the segment status of a range of segments.

Also, is there a way of filtering on segment status, eg to show all segments containing text but not yet confirmed (what would be draft status in Trados)?

Thank you! Mar 3, 2015

Thanks so much Caroline!

I should have spotted the segment filter, it0s right there in plain view! I'm afraid the natural tendency when switching from a familiar tool is to look for a function in the same place, I was looking in the ribbon menus.

The trick for selecting segments I would never have worked out however. DVX does seem to have the most random and complex short cut keys of any tool I've used so far.

I hope I won't be bothering this forum with too many silly questions, the lack of a Help function for DVX is really quite bizarre.

how to confirm all (selected) segments May 26, 2021

It's great to know there is a way to select multiple segment. I keep looking for a way to confirm all selected segments (without having to read any manuals etc.).
Asking here, rather than by e-mail, for future generations.
Thanks.
