When I start typing a word in the Smartling target segment and it corresponds to a glossary term, the term appears in a balloon next to my cursor. So far, so good. But I have not yet found out which key I need to use to accept and use this term. The only thing I can do to apply the term is to click the balloon with the mouse, which is about the stupidest thing I could do here, since using the mouse interrupts my typing flow. What am I missing here?

No, the tab key sends me from the target to the source field, and vice versa.

Hey Jean, you were actually right. The tab key is the default setting, but I had my keyboard settings overriden so that they are identical to my usual MemoQ settings. That meant that the tab key was used now like in MemoQ and did not work any more for accepting auto-complete. I could change it in the individual settings and now it works (I use the return key now). Thanks!

That's exactly what I did Jul 25, 2021

Thanks, Stepan, that's exactly what I did to achieve this. I should have thought of this before but it seems I'm alternating between too many different CATs all the time so that I forget things again.
