Like some other CAT tools, CafeTran now can also transpose word groups:

WII, in your screencast you select the word group with your mouse, followed by keyboard shortcuts. This may be yet another great feature for the less fortunate, but in OS X, you don't have to switch from your mouse to your keyboard, and learn yet another KBS.

Select the word (group) with your mouse, hold it, and drag/drop the word (group) to the spot you want it to land, in CafeTran, another application, the desktop, you name it.

This is system-wide, of course, not limited to CafeTran.

Cheers,

Hans

Mixing input devices Aug 18, 2013

I agree: mixing mouse and keyboard to select text isn't very clear in this Q&D movie ...

Will make a new one as soon as the new CafeTran has been released. Keyboard shortcuts, feature names etc. change constantly.

Some old school members even proclaim: "Stop developing more features for CafeTran".

Of course I'm not one of them

Diseased mice Aug 18, 2013

It is revolutionary in the sense that it allows you to move selected text around using only your keyboard. Mice are evil and should be avoided at all costs. They carry diseases.

Drag & Drop handling Aug 18, 2013

I have D&D handling turned off on my office Mac. I experimented with it on my test Mac and was reminded that it doesn't handle the trailing space, which takes away much of its potential greatness, Your Highness.
