Inserting tags from a QuickPlace drop-down list

You can select tags from a drop-down list of available tags and insert them in the current target segment. The tag list initially contains all tags that appear in the source segment. As you use them, tags are removed from the list gradually. The opening and closing tags which make up tag pairs are listed separately. This means that, as you type, you can insert the opening tag at the point where you want text formatting to begin and the closing tag at the point where you want the formatting to end.

About this task

Placeholder tags also appear in the list and are selected in the same way as formatting tags.

Procedure

  1. Go to the Projects view and select the project you want to work on.
  2. Go to the Files view and double-click the file you want to work on.
  3. When the cursor is at the point where you want to insert a tag in the Editor window, press Ctrl+,(comma). A drop-down list of tags is displayed below the target segment.

    • If this is the required tag, press Enter or Tab to insert the tag into the target segment. If the tag is one of a pair, a ghost tag is also inserted.
    • If this is not the tag you want to insert, select different tags until the correct one is selected and then insert the tag into the target segment.
  5. Continue typing. The selected tag formatting is applied to the text.
  6. When you want the formatting to stop being applied, press Ctrl+ , (comma) to insert the closing tag of the pair. Alternatively, press Ctrl+ , (comma) to display the closing tag for selection.
