And to really speed the entry would be to already have preset OK in the message box for indexing, so no tabbing would be required, just press Enter.
To sum the way it could work:
Make a shortcut, say "x" for indexing. Mark the word, press "x", and then Enter when the message box appears.

File-Preferences-Keyboard Shortcuts-Insert-Index Entry and then I assigned "x". Together with previous recommendations, it becomes quite manageable then!

And while we are at this topic, it would be golden to have a way to see the words marked for indexing, some sort of the highlighting via the menu. Maybe even all marks should have a way to be revealed. Like View-Text Frames-Show Control Characters. It might be very handy on the occasion.

just check 'use tabs for documents' under 'preferences' → 'user interface' → 'main window'.

General Discussion / Open multiple documents in tab...
Last post by cemekepirketou - December 25, 2025, 10:52:59 AM
Hello, everyone.

Throughout the development period for Scribus 1.5, there were tabs when multiple documents were open at the same time. With version 1.6, I can't find the tabs; there is only the choice between cascade or mosaic. I have searched extensively to find a way to activate the tabs, but I haven't been able to find it. Has the tab display function been removed?
Thanks

it's usually not my business, as my work is for digital printing. but i think it would be a good thing to have an editable trapping preset. (editable by selecting which element will overfill and by the amount of the trapping...)

For offset, screen... every kind of printing but digital.
However, I prefer to set it manually.

hi aleks

i know this as 'trapping' (overfilling a shape to avoid blanks).
unfortunately scribus doesn't support trapping, which is usually not a big problem for digital printing but may be a show stopper for offset printing.

you could file a feature request here.
