Topic: Most keyboard-friendly CAT tool?
Poster: Jean Dimitriadis
Hi,
I am not really looking for a CAT tool myself (CafeTran Espresso is my main choice, running on a GNU/Linux laptop), but I thought it would be interesting to gather opinions on this subject.
How keyboard-friendly is your preferred CAT tool?
For those touch typing their translations, being able to avoid lifting the hands from the keyboard to use the mouse or trackpad can be a huge time-saver.
Not all CAT tools are created equal in that department.
What’s your take? Are you able to mostly avoid using the mouse? Apart from your CAT tool, what else is helping you keep your hands close to those keys?
