1. How about keyboard shortcuts (F2 to edit source, Ctrl-H to search & replace, Shift+F3 etc. in MemoQ) Are they convenient?
2. Switching between Mac apps to Parallel-MemoQ, is it instantaneous (wake-up time)?
3. Disk space does it grow too fast with Parallel?
4. Windows Insider program do you need to renew anything after a few years?
I've used MemoQ for about 10 years now and happy. In addition to that I edit photos with Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop, and my current Thinkpad even with 16GB RAM won't cut it anymore. Heard good things about editing photos on Mac so wonder if I should go for it without sacrificing much of my translation workflow.
Thank you in advance.

Hi, Azman!
1) I used Windows around 20 years ago, so I don't know much about the key layout. But shortcuts are just a habit. For example, you'll press fn + F2 to edit the source and control + H to find and replace text. If the default one isn't for you, you can also add your custom layout.
2) The switch is instant. You can seamlessly navigate between macOS and Windows apps. You simply click its icon and start the app or continue where you left off:
3) Parallels is using around 200 GB of my disk space. I have a couple of games installed, mind you.
4) No idea, sorry.
I may sound like a salesperson, but I love working with Apple products. The ecosystem just performs.
Have a lovely weekend!
