Hi Daniel McCosh

I am not aware of any out-of-the-box shortcuts to achieve this, the only way to control that is through File > Options > Automation.
Maybe this could be achieved with an AutoHotKey script, posting this question in that group might be useful.

Otherwise changing the segment status to 'Translated' when first opening the file could help, as even if they are empty, 'Translated' segments will not get populated with match results automatically.

Hope this helps.

Best wishes,
Greta

Thanks @Greta Magyar. I think my ideal solution in this case is probably locking segments before translation.
