Fluency keyboard shortcuts - Gray

Posted: Jul 14, 2014

Does anybody know the keyboard shortcut to just minimize the web search window opened from within Fluency? I know how to close it, but I want to just minimize it in case I need to look at what I found again.

Thanks!

Fluency is a cryptic monster. I cannot help but wonder if whoever created it was from this planet. It cannot spell, punctuate, or do anything but parrot errors programmed into it. It won't accept Word-based phrases and shortcuts seasoned MTs have spent years creating. In short, it is a disaster. I feel sorry for anybody who is stuck working on an account with this platform.

Okay... - Gray

That wasn't very helpful.

Sorry, it was not meant to be helpful. Simply a vent. Who would want to stay working for a MTSO that uses Fluency is beyond me. A key for this and that?
A platform should work for the MT not against.

And I suppose that was not meant to be an insult? - Gray

Obviously I am continuing to work for an MTSO that uses Fluency, and I have no problem working with it, just looking for a keyboard shortcut I haven't learned yet. And not sure what you mean by "a key for this and that?" We're talking keyboard shortcuts here, which are used all over the place in windows so you don't have to use the mouse, and the ones in Fluency are the same as in other programs unless it is something only Fluency does.

Don't you have something better to do than not be helpful reading and responding to posts on a company board for a company you don't even work for? Sheesh.

Um, - Gray

and why would you need to vent about a platform you don't even use?

try the help/guide key function list.

Ah, yes - thanks! - Gray

I was looking to minimize it, but in further searching found that you don't need to minimize, you can just close it and then re-open it with control +0 and it will have where you left off, which comes in real handy if you want to double check something.

Thanks again!

Does anybody know what the keyboard shortcuts are to stop and start audio playback in DQS? I know I have done it by accident before, and it keeps playing, unlike if you use the foot pedan where you have to hold it down the whole time. I have never liked having to hold the pedal down. I was used to Express Scribe, where you can tap to start and stop and don't have to keep your foot pressed down. Now I am standing up some of the time while working to avoid s ...

Has anyone experienced a problem with their keyboard today while typing reports in Fluency. When I hit the Control + key while in the body of my report (to increase the volume) it is also changing my font size to larger. When I hit Control - key (to lower volume) it shrinks my font size. I am talking about the number keypad to the far right of the keyboard. Thanks. ...

I can't make the Ctrl + Spacebar work to toggle the audio on and off (alternative to foot pedal) in the Fluency editor. I am using the most recent rendition, 7.4 something, but it hasn't work in the last 2 renditions either. All other commands seem to work. I am wondering if this command works for others and it's more likely something to do with my system or if the command itself just doesn't work (is there a different combination anyone knows of)? Rem ...

Microsoft has discontinued these great keyboards and I need a new one. Anybody aware of a split keyboard that has a really nice touch (remember those old IBM keyboards?) for transcription work by Microsoft or another brand that you really like? I'm open for suggestions please ; 0 My only complaint with this one is the keys are a bit clunky to press down (especially the space bar). Thanks! ...

I have so much pain in my left hand from doing the Ctr Shift M shortcut to get the cursor to the spot the audio is (or at least in the vicinity). I use my left pinkie finger to push Ctr and Shift and my right hand to push M. Another new repetitive action injury...... I would like to fix. ...

I am working really hard on expanding my shortcuts to save time. So, 3-word phrases such as "thanks in advance" are "TIA", and 2-word phrases use the first 2 letters of each of the 2 words, such as "lesh" for left shoulder. What do I do with single words? That's the general question. My second question has to do with specific single words, "pharmacotherapy" and "pharmacologic". What would you put in your auto-correct options to make those words a short cut? TIA! :) ...

I've been using Edit script for a couple months now (like it) and everytime I start using alt K and the other shortcuts I end up reverting back to my old ways (mouse), because it just seems faster for me.
