You can also do it via the F&R function:

1.  Go the menu Edit | Find…
2.  Check Regular expression box.
3.  Check Project target segments box scope.
4.  Type \A\-\s in the Find box – \A means the beginning of segment.
5.  Type – in the Replace box (type EN-dash)
6.  Press Replace button.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On a US Int’l PC keyboard on OS X you can insert an EM-dash with Shift+AltRight+-

Currently I’m back to the Magic Mouse. I’m still evaluating Magicprefs, since I’d like to add some frequent used functions (like double clicking) to special swipes.

The choice of a keyboard layout is as personal as the choice of your keyboard itself.

Coming from Windows I got used to the US International keyboard layout for Windows. So I was happy when Apple introduced the same keyboard layout for OS X.

And here is the layout:

 

 

 

I’d like you to show the special keys that are available when pressing Shift, Cmd or Alt — but since this is impossible when making a screen shot, I’ll have to find a way . Perhaps a movie?

 

I definitely advice use of a big screen. Either an iMac 27 inch or a Mac Mini or MacBook with an 27 inch Thunderbolt display.

Q: I discovered the Ctrl+Shift+a shortcut to add text shortcuts to my Snippets.txt. So I added some snippets. After closing and restarting CafeTran, I noticed that my text shortcuts weren’t added to Snippets.txt.

A: You need to save them first – CTRL+SHIF+A when there is no selection.

Text shortcuts are tied to Autocompletion. Check whether Autocompletion is enabled.
