#89 Clickable match window
I think I already put a similar request somewhere...
The match window could behave like the find window: clicking on a
matching segment would bring it as the editable segment in the main
window.
This allows for easy modifications of previously translated segments
when a new match suggests a better translation.
Right now the only way to do that is to select the text in the match
window, copy it, shift to the main window, call a search, paste etc.

What happens if the match is not a segment in the current
project, but a TUV in a reference TM? Do you then edit the TM?

Well, that could be a possibiity but I think it goes beyond the purpose of that function since OmegaT is not (yet) a TMX editor.
I was thinking more about segments within the project. All the reference items should be read-only, for security.

Ok, so what about "Right Click -> Go to match"?
(By the way, technically OmegaT *is* a TMX editor, since you
basically edit project_save.tmx with it, don't you? But
that's besides the point.)

What about simply the link number underlined like in the tag validation window ? Having an homogenous interface would greatly help not
confusing users :)
Re. OmegaT being a TMX editor, we could consider it that way, but project_save is generated along with the translation and is only a
dump of the current status if I understand the process correctly. I'd like OmegaT to be a _XLIFF_ editor though :)

Sure, having a homogenous interface always helps. But then
we need to think about what's better; underlining numbers,
or adding icons and context menus.

a clickable link is equivalent to an icon "to go there". so if that is easier to implement I'd suggest we start with the clickable link as per the
tag window and when we have everything working we can add fancy stuff :)

Since the match nb is practically limited to 5 (and realistically to 10 if we start from 0) then a shortcut like "shift+modkey+nb" would do the trick and be consistant with the current match shortcuts.

Implemented in CVS.
A right click pop up menu has been used, giving access to:
Go to segment source
Insert match into translation
Replace translation with match

Will it be possible to have shortcuts too ? Using the mouse generally breaks the workflow, even though it is usefull in some limited cases.

Let me re-phrase this:
The pop-up menu for replace/insert would be trully usefull if there were more matches than can be accessed with the existing shortcuts (1~5). Now it is a slightly faster replacement for the shortcuts, for mouse inclined people.
As for the "Go to segment", it really needs a shortcut :)

Closing...
This feature was implemented in the just released version 1.8.0 of OmegaT.
