I translate into French.
I need a special character which is not on the keyword: it is call "ligature" and it is a fusion of 2 characters, o + e in some specific words, as in "œuf" or "bœuf" (egg or beef).
When I type in Word (French version), as soon as the word "oeuf" is completed the MS software activates the fusion and replaces the 2 distinct oe by the ligature " œ ".
Is there a way to program a rule somewhere in memoQ with a list of words using this ligature t... See more I translate into French.

Is there a way to program a rule somewhere in memoQ with a list of words using this ligature to have an automated conversion/fusion? ▲ Collapse

On Windows you use Alt codes.
œ = Alt + 0156
Π= Alt + 0140

For words and phrases I find cumbersome to type in my translations into Spanish, I simply add a termbase entry with the target translation, so that the memoQ's predictive typing feature helps you insert the word. You can also use Ctrl and the number of the term in the translation results list to enter the term easily.

I don't know in MemoQ, but it could be interesting to consider the Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator, with an excellent Tuto, here :

You can apply this demonstration to any other character you need. Useful not only in a CAT tool.
Enjoy!

| Spell checker?? | May 8, 2017 |
Doesn't MemoQ spell checker suggest the correction, like Word's own spell checker, at least?

So do I, Tomás. I even enter easy-to-type but very common words.
Trouble with "œuf" is that the first letter can’t be typed as such, so it doesn’t get recognised by the predictive typing feature. I simply type "oeuf" and let the spellchecker do its work.

On my US-international keyboard, it's Ctrl+Shift+& then o = œ
However, strangely, although this is a Windows shortcut, it works in some programs but not others.

When editing your document, do the following:
- Go to the Edit ribbon tab.
- In the Special Characters group, click on Frequent Symbols to reveal a menu.
- On this menu, click Customize Symbol Shortcuts.
- Pick the character you want from the character map, assign the shortcut you want and click Save.
I hope this helps.

Oh, you are absolutely right! I hadn't thought of that. However, selecting the termbase entry by the normal Ctrl+ or double-clicking does the job.
