Swap Target Text

Swaps the target values of two entries. this command works in two steps:

2. Then you move the cursor to the entry with which you want to swap the highlighted target value and use the command a second time. The two target values are swapped.

Shortcut: F6

Split Entries On Markers

Splits the selected entries according the split markers in the source and target text. If no entry is selected, the entry where is cursor is located is automatically selected.

The split markers should be the text "[$SPLIT$]". The first segment replaces the text of the original entry, the other segments are copied into new entries.

For example:

Original entry source: "Open File...[$SPLIT$]Open"
Original entry target: "Ouvrir un fichier[$SPLIT$]Ouvrir"

Gives:

Original entry source: "Open File..."
Original entry target: "Ouvrir un fichier"
New entry source: "Open"
New entry target: "Ouvrir"
