Good morning translators,
I have to deal with some target segments with "crazy cases".
For example:

This iS juST a test abOut selecTing IMPORTANT WORDS.

Let's imagine I want to turn that sentence into:
This is just a TEST about selecting IMPORTANT Words.

In MS Word I can select specific words by pressing Ctrl + double left-click.
Is there something similar in MemoQ so I can select several words that need the same case in the segmen... See more

Is there something similar in MemoQ so I can select several words that need the same case in the segment to speed up the process?

Example: select "is + just + test + selecting" at the same time, then press Shift + F3 and apply lower case to all of them.


Thank you all for your help. ▲ Collapse

Select the first word in your selection by double clicking, then press and hold Ctrl+Shift, then one click at the end of your selection.

Would it be possible to do the same with alternate words? Oct 7, 2021

Thank you!
Would it be possible to select two words in a row, not select the next word, and then select the last word again?

I am not aware of a way to do that.

Select "Crazy" words Oct 8, 2021

If you only want to select words such as: juST abOut selecTing
They can be matched easily with a regex.
