Keyboard shortcuts let you confirm segments, pull in suggestions, and move around a file without reaching for the mouse. This article lists every shortcut currently available in the wxrks Editor.
💡 Who is this for? Anyone translating or reviewing inside the wxrks Editor — Vendors, Project Managers, and Account Admins alike. For the rest of the Editor's layout and menu, see wxrks Editor and wxrks Editor Menu for Vendors.
Opening the shortcuts list in-app
Press Ctrl + / (Windows) or Command + / (Mac) anywhere in the Editor, or click the Help icon in the top bar, to open the full list on screen — useful as a quick reference without leaving the file you're working on.
On Mac, use Command in place of Ctrl for every shortcut below unless a Mac-specific key is called out — the in-app list adapts automatically. Three shortcuts are the exception and use the same keys (Ctrl/Alt) on both Windows and Mac: NNBSP, Toggle LTR box, and Select Word.

Tags and text formatting
Copy all tags |
|
Copy next tag |
|
Toggle LTR box |
|
NBSP (non-breaking space) |
|
NNBSP (narrow no-break space) |
|
When a segment needs more than one tag inserted mid-text, press Copy next tag (Ctrl + I) repeatedly — the first press inserts the first tag, the next press inserts the second, and so on until every tag has been placed.
An NBSP looks like a normal space in the Editor and in most text editors — it only becomes visible in tools like Visual Studio Code, and usually only with an extension that displays non-breaking-space characters. An NNBSP is a narrower variant of the same idea, used where a full space is visually too wide (for example, before certain punctuation in French).
Not listed in the in-app shortcuts modal above, but still standard text-entry behavior in the segment field: Shift + Enter inserts a manual line break within a segment.
