# Translation Results Panel - Complete Improvements Summary

**Date**: October 30, 2025  
**Commit**: 43c2658

## Overview
Comprehensive redesign of the translation results panel to match memoQ's interface and functionality. All matches (TM, Termbase, MT, NT) now display in a unified, compact grid with side-by-side source/target columns.

---

## User-Facing Improvements

### 1. **Visual Layout - memoQ-Style Display**
- **Unified Grid**: All match types in one list (no separate sections)
- **Side-by-Side Columns**: Source and Target in separate columns (like spreadsheet)
- **Global Numbering**: Consecutive numbers across all match types (TM 1-10, Termbases 11+)
- **Color Coding**: 
  - Red box (#ff6b6b) = Translation Memory matches
  - Blue box (#4d94ff) = Termbase matches
  - Green box (#51cf66) = Machine Translation (MT)
  - Gray box (#adb5bd) = Non-Translatable (NT)
- **Compact Layout**: 20px minimum height per match (expandable for wrapped text)

### 2. **Text Visibility**
- ✅ **NO truncation** - Full source and target text visible
- ✅ **Text wrapping** enabled - Long text automatically wraps
- ✅ **Minimum 150px columns** for source and target
- ✅ **Tooltips on hover** - Hover shows full text if wrapped
- ✅ **Much more visible** than previous 40-character truncation

### 3. **Keyboard Shortcuts - Match Insertion**
- **Ctrl+1, Ctrl+2, ... Ctrl+9**: Insert match by number (global, works while typing target)
- **Ctrl+Shift+=** (or **Ctrl+Shift=+**): Zoom in Translation Results Pane
- **Ctrl+Shift+-**: Zoom out Translation Results Pane
- **Ctrl++**: Zoom in Grid Text
- **Ctrl+-**: Zoom out Grid Text

### 4. **Font Size Controls**

#### Grid Text
- **Ctrl++** or **Ctrl+Shift++**: Increase grid font
- **Ctrl+-** or **Ctrl+Shift+-**: Decrease grid font
- Range: 7pt to 16pt (default: 9pt)
- Accessible via: **View > Grid Text Zoom**

#### Translation Results Pane (Match List + Compare Boxes)
- **Ctrl+Shift+=**: Increase font
- **Ctrl+Shift+-**: Decrease font  
- Range: Match list 7-16pt, Compare boxes 7-14pt (both default 9pt)
- **Zoom Reset**: Returns to default 9pt
- Accessible via: **View > Translation Results Pane**

### 5. **Organized View Menu**
```

│   ├── Grid Zoom Out (Ctrl+-)
│   ├── Grid Increase Font Size (Ctrl++)

### 6. **Tools > Options - View/Display Tab**
New dedicated tab showing:
- **📊 Grid Text Font Size** - How to adjust with keyboard shortcuts
- **📋 Translation Results Pane Font Size** - Dual zoom explanation
- **⌨️ Font Size Quick Reference** - Complete shortcut guide

## Technical Implementation

### Changed Files
1. **Supervertaler_Qt.py** (Main application)
   - Fixed keyPressEvent to handle Ctrl+1-9 while typing
   - Reorganized View menu with submenus for clarity
   - Added results pane zoom handler methods
   - Added View/Display tab to Tools > Options

2. **modules/translation_results_panel.py** (Match display panel)
   - Redesigned CompactMatchItem class:
     * Horizontal layout: [Number] [%] [Source] [Target]
     * Text wrapping enabled
     * Configurable font size
     * Support for varying heights (20-100px)
   - Unified flat list in set_matches():
     * No section headers (MatchSection)
     * Global numbering across all types
     * Direct CompactMatchItem creation
   - Compare box font size control:
     * Synchronized with match list zoom
     * Range: 7-14pt
   - Font size methods:
     * set_font_size(size) - Updates match list
     * set_compare_box_font_size(size) - Updates compare boxes
     * zoom_in() / zoom_out() - Updates both simultaneously
     * reset_zoom() - Returns both to 9pt

### Key Classes
- **CompactMatchItem**: Individual match display (source/target columns)
  - Class variable: `font_size_pt` (shared across all instances)
  - Methods: `update_font_size()`, `select()`, `deselect()`

- **TranslationResultsPanel**: Main results panel
  - Class variable: `compare_box_font_size`
  - Tracks: `match_items[]`, `compare_text_edits[]`
  - Flat list layout (no MatchSection objects)

### Data Flow
1. User selects grid row → on_cell_selected()
2. Fetches TM + Termbase matches
3. Creates TranslationMatch objects
4. Calls set_matches() with flat dict: {"TM": [], "Termbases": [], "NT": [], "MT": []}
5. Builds flat list with global numbering
6. CompactMatchItem renders each match
7. Zoom controls update all items simultaneously
