Enter key to edit captions not working anymore

Question

Hi,

Back in the day I used to be able to make edits in the captions window by just hitting enter and it opened the selected caption. I don't know what happened but now I always have to double click it to start editing my captions. This is such a tedious process as I used to be able to edit all my captions without ever touching my mouse. How do I fix this?

I can imagine this is less of a problem for English users, but as I'm a Flemish editor the Dutch transcriptions are usually not perfect and I need to make small adjustments to basically all the captions.

Anyway any help is appreciated,

Cheers

Thanks Stan I figured it out. It was indeed the keyboard shortcut that wasn't assigned anymore. For those interested the keyboard shortcut you're looking for is:

"Edit Segment" in the text panel.

Also I don't know if this is a problem only azerty-users have, but you can't type in 'return' as it closes the shortcuts window, so you have to drag the Enter/Return key from the visual keyboard onto the "edit segment" if that makes sense.

Anyway have a good day everyone who reads this!

@niels_7217,

Thanks for reporting back. And thanks for the great tip on setting the Enter key in the shortcut window.

Pressing the Enter key on the keyboard does indeed close the whole shortcuts window.

And if you drag from the Enter key on the keyboard buttons in the shortcuts window, and go over items other than the one you are targeting, it scrolls! lol.
