Quicklauncher Shortcuts

Marking a prompt as a QuickLauncher shortcut

To make a custom prompt appear in the QuickLauncher right-click menu (Ctrl+Q), set category: QuickLauncher in the YAML frontmatter:

---
name: Explain selected term
description: Explains the selected term in translation context
category: QuickLauncher
quicklauncher_label: Explain term
---

Your prompt content here...

Field	Description
category: QuickLauncher	Marks this prompt as a QuickLauncher item
quicklauncher_label	Optional short label shown in the menu – falls back to name if omitted

You can also organise QuickLauncher prompts by placing them in a folder called QuickLauncher inside your prompt_library folder. Any prompt in that folder is automatically treated as a QuickLauncher prompt.

Note

QuickLauncher prompts are shared with Supervertaler Workbench via the shared prompt library folder.

Keyboard shortcuts for QuickLauncher prompts

You can assign keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl+Alt+1 through Ctrl+Alt+0) to individual QuickLauncher prompts for instant access without opening the Ctrl+Q menu.

1. Open Settings → Prompts
2. Select a QuickLauncher prompt in the tree
3. In the detail pane on the right, use the Shortcut dropdown to assign a slot
4. Click OK to save

Each shortcut can only be assigned to one prompt. If you assign a shortcut that is already in use, it is automatically cleared from the other prompt.

Assigned shortcuts are shown next to prompt names in the Ctrl+Q menu and in the Trados keyboard shortcuts settings (File → Options → Keyboard Shortcuts → Supervertaler for Trados).

Reordering prompts

Use the ▲ and ▼ buttons in the toolbar to change the order of prompts within a folder. This is especially useful for QuickLauncher prompts, as the order in the tree determines the order in the Ctrl+Q menu.

The order is saved in each prompt’s YAML frontmatter as a sort_order field.
