Many times I enter comments and have to click “Add comment” with my mouse.

It would be better to be able to type your comment and press “Ctrl + Enter” to add my comment.

Many web sites are working this way like slack, wrike, outlook webmail

Same for issues. Add your precious text and press “Ctrl + Enter”.

As I am a non english native speaker: Is ENTER or RETURN the correct word for the key?

Hello rakekniven!

Please accept my apologies for the late reply,

Currently, there is no shortcut for adding a new comment; If it helps, regarding comments, we have a shortcut to go to the comments section (ctrl + 5).

Also, you can use TAB or ctrl + alt + ↓ to save your current translation and move to the next string.

If you want to learn more about the shortcuts available, you can look at this [article](https://help.transifex.com/en/articles/6318944-other-tools-in-the-editor#h_0fba349a2e:~:text=any%20existing%20translations.-,Keyboard%20shortcuts,-The%20Editor%20supports).

Hello @Sandy_DLR thanks for your anwer.

Outlook allows you to send a message via CTRL + ENTER.  
Thunderbird as well.  
GitHub allows you to enter comments via CTRL + ENTER.

Please consider adding such useful shortcuts for power users. Should be easy to implement and provides benefit.

Thanks.

Hello @rakekniven,

I am Antonis from the Transifex Customer Success team.

I don’t see any updates regarding this functionality. It is possible that it has just fallen through the cracks.

I will update the request since it looks like it shouldn’t be much work to implement and is a nice QoL feature. I will check with our Product team regarding its implementation.

We will get back to you regarding any updates.

Thank you in advance for your understanding.

Kind regards,

Antonis

Unfortunately, that happens.

After all, the topic is only four years old 😉

Cheers,

Hello @rakekniven,

It’s understandable you feel that way.

While our resources are not unlimited, and as a small company, we have to focus on taking care of the bigger features/issues each release, we can do a better job balancing working on those and including smaller QoL features like the one you suggested.

I went ahead and updated your request and made our Product team aware of it. It probably won’t be included in the near future since our work is planned ahead of time, but I’ll put my vote toward it when we plan our next release cycle 🙂

Thank you again for your feedback.

Kind regards,

Antonis

Hello @Mylon ,

Almost exactly one year has passed, and I would like to inquire about any news.  
Can you now implement the keyboard shortcut?

Thank you for your feedback.
