Coding on the sentence level – for coding individual sentences or parts of sentences within a document -- works much the same as on the article level. Use tab and shift + tab to move between coding fields, and ↓ or ↑ to select a value from a list for codebook variables.

When you are at the end of the last row in the coding fields table, tab adds a new row, so you can continue coding quickly.

Some other shortcuts for sentence codings:

  • shift+↓: copy the current row.
  • ctrl+↓: add a new row.
  • ctrl+shift+↓: add a new row with the number of the next sentence.
  • ctrl+shift+d: remove the current row.

Note that you cannot save sentence codings when the sentence number field (to the far left) is left empty for one or more rows.
