Keyboard shortcuts

Nothing in Tranzio requires a shortcut; every action has a button. But the app is at its best when your hands stay where they are, especially in the editors, where you repeat the same few actions hundreds of times. This page collects every binding in one place. Learn the Global four first; adopt the rest as the screens become familiar.

Global#

These work on every screen, all the time.

Translation editor#

The Translate page loop: translate, save, next, without touching the mouse. Saving with the keyboard writes the string you are on; the ⌘ + S form writes every draft you have open.

Audio#

The Audio list uses the same search shortcut as the Translate page.

Studio (video & subtitles)#

Studio is where shortcuts pay off most; recording flows far better when play and record are on keys.

Audio editor (DAW)#

The multi-track audio editor behind Audio Lab.

Every layout, the same keys#

Translators switch keyboard layouts all day, and on Windows and Linux that changes the letter the browser reports: with a Georgian layout the S key arrives as ს, with a Ukrainian one as і. Any app that matches shortcuts on the letter loses them the moment you switch to type. Tranzio matches on the physical key instead (the position on the board, not the character printed on it), so a shortcut you learned once keeps working in every script you write in.

While you're typing#

Single-letter shortcuts stand aside whenever the cursor is in a text box, so typing a translation never trips the recorder or the split tool. Click out of the field (or press Esc) and the letters go back to being shortcuts. Combinations that hold Ctrl keep working either way, which is why saving and searching are on the modifier.
