Topic: Disaster: Entire target text replaced by source text after unknown key combination. What to do?
Poster: Ilka Nahmmacher
I was working happily on a large file, almost done, when I accidentally hit an unknown key combination. It changed ALL of the target text to the source text. I closed the file immediately without saving. When I reopened it, the source text was still where the target text should be.
I looked for a backup file because it creates a backup every 10 minutes, but I could not find it. Does anyone know where it should be and back the extension is?
How is this even possible?

N.B. Oddly enough, the project folder contained the English file, which was only missing the last hour of work, so the loss wasn't that great. I don't understand what happened there though.
