Collection of Transit Macros

Below is a short list of macros for XV, 3.0 and 2.7 with a short description of what each one does. For detailed PDFinstructions for installing and using the macros in Transit, download the PDF file on the right. If you find the macros useful, or if you have other macros that you would like to exchange with other Transit users on this page, I would be pleased to hear from you.

If you are using a different language version or setting, you may have to change some of the shortcuts. Combination keystrokes are always enclosed in “<” and “>”. For example Ctrl+P is <CTRL_P>. If you are using the German language version/setting of Transit, you can download the file with the localized macros.

Description
Macro
CopyFormatted/Unformatted If you have set the Copy/cut and paste without formatting option (under Profile Settings -> Editor 1/2 , this macro will copy the selected text complete with the formatting tags; if you have unchecked this function, it will copy the text without the formatting tags (i.e. it does the opposite of the setting). To paste the copied text, use the Paste Formatted/Unformatted macro below.

Cut Formatted/Unformatted Same function as CopyFormatted/Unformatted above, but cuts the text instead of copying it. To paste the cut text, use the Paste Formatted/Unformatted macro below.

PasteFormatted/Unformatted This macro is to be used together with the Cut Formatted/Unformatted and Copy Formatted/Unformatted macros above: Depending on your setting of the Copy/cut and paste without formatting option, this macro will paste the text coped with one of the above macros with or witout the formatting tags. (If you use the normal paste function, any tags copied with the above Copy and Cut macros will be pasted as normal text, not as tags.)

FindInSource Searches for the text highlighted in the Target window in the Source window. Useful (for those who do not yet have XV with its concordance search function) if you know that you have already translated a term but can’t remember how. Note: The T 2.7 macro inserts a “bookmark” (“ #oOo# ”) in the target text, which you can go back to and delete again with the QuickMarkGoto macro.
XV/3.0 <CTRL_C><ALT_1><CTRL_HOME><CTRL_F><CTRL_V><RETURN>
2.7 <CTRL_C><LEFT><RIGHT> #oOo# <ALT_1><CTRL_HOME>
<CTRL_F><CTRL_V><ALT_o>
ReplaceCurrent Opens the Replace dialog and copies the highlighted text into the Find What field.
XV/3.0 <CTRL_C><CTRL_H><CTRL_V><TAB>
2.7 <ALT_2><CTRL_C><CTRL_UP><ALT_E><L><CTRL_V><TAB>
<DELETE>
ReverseCharacters Reverses the position of the two characters to the left of the cursor. For correcting typing mistakes (like htis one).
2.7 & XV/3.0 <LEFT><SHIFT_LEFT><CTRL_X><RIGHT><CTRL_V>
ShowShortTags Selects Display short tags in the Display/Hide Attributes dialog.
XV/3.0 <ALT_v>a<Alt_t><UP><DOWN><DOWN><Alt_o>
ShowFullTags Selects Display full tags in the Display/Hide Attributes dialog.
XV/3.0 <ALT_v>a<Alt_t><UP><Alt_o>
WordCount Opens the Properties dialog to display the statistics for the files open in the currently selected editor window. Note: This is different from the information in the Report Manager dialog, which looks ewxactly the same but gives the status of all language pair files of the current project, regardless of which files are currently open in the editor. The WordCount macro is useful, for example, to determine the progress for a subset of project files, or of a set of files (for example reference material) that are not project files.
XV <ALT_f><R><ALT_u>
3.0 <ALT_f><R><DOWN><DOWN><DOWN><DOWN>
AutoSearchToggle Toggles the Automatic search with Alt+Insert option in the profile settings on and off. Dialog needs to be closed with Enter after running the macro. Useful, for example, for preventing the focus moving to the Fuzzy Index window when marking unchanging text as translated in the target text window.

3.0 <ALT_o><P><E><CTRL_TAB><CTRL_TAB><CTRL_TAB><SPACE>
DelToEndAndMark Deletes everything from the cursor to the end of the segment (including any tags except for the end of segment marker) before marking the segment translated. Saves manually deleting conditional hyphens etc. Use with caution! I suggest you familiarize yourself with the behaviour of this macro before using it for a real cusomer project. If you prefer to mark the segment translated manually (with Alt+Ins), simply delete the final <ALT_INSERT> from the macro.

CommaToDot Opens the Replace dialog and enters a regular expression to replace decimal commas with decimal dots. Note: You must select the Regular Expressions option in the Replace dialog manually. You can then select either Replace or Replace all .
XV/3.0 <CTRL_H>#([0-9]+)0\,#([0-9]+)1<TAB>#0.#1
2.7 <ALT_2><ALT_e><L><#><SHIFT_8><CTRL_ALT_8><0><-><9>

<#><0><.><#><1><ALT_n><DOWN><SPACE><ALT_s><DOWN>
DotToComma As above, but replaces decimal dots with decimal commas.
XV/3.0 <CTRL_H>#([0-9]+)0\.#([0-9]+)1<TAB>#0,#1
2.7 <ALT_2><ALT_e><L><#><SHIFT_8><CTRL_ALT_8><0><-><9>

<#><0><,><#><1><ALT_n><DOWN><SPACE><ALT_s><DOWN>
QuickMarkInsert Use in combination with QuickMarkGoto. Inserts “ #oOo# ” (including the spaces) at the insertion point. This character string acts as a “bookmark” (“ #oOo# ”), like the Retain Position button in Transit XV/3.0/XV or the “Quick Mark” in WordPerfect. (Important: Make sure you include the space either side of the #oOo#! Otherwise the QuickMarkGoto macro will not find the mark again if the Whole Words Only option is selected.)
2.7 <LEFT><RIGHT> #oOo# 
QuickMarkGoto Use in combination with QuickMarkInsert and FindSelectionInSource (Transit 2.7 only). Searches for the character string “ #oOo# ” and deletes it, like the Go To Retained Position button in Transit XV/3.0/XV. The string #oOo# is picked up by the spell check if you forget to delete it.
2.7 <RIGHT><ALT_2><CTRL_F>#oOo#<ALT_s><DOWN><ALT_o>
<DELETE><DELETE><BACKSPACE>
Replace Opens the Replace dialog. Allows a keyboard shortcut to be assigned to this function in Transit 2.7 (e.g. Ctrl+H).
2.7 <ALT_2><ALT_KEY><E><L>
