Is there a keyboard shortcut or chart menu shortcut for changing days loaded?
I often look at 240m and 60m charts and need a few hundred days but then i go back to 1-5m charts and only need a few days.
Opening chart settings with F5 then tabbing to days to load and putting in a new number is a lot of extra work when it's done with many instruments several times a day.
A keyboard shortcut or a toolbar button followed by number of days you wanted would be perfect but I havent been able to figure out how to do this from the documentation.
Is it possible?

This is not supported but you might want to look at this setting in Chart Settings:
Chart Settings: Adjust Proportional With Bar Period (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Data Limiting >> Load Data Limiting Method: Days to Load menu)

Alternatively, just use separate charts for these bar time frames, each with a set number of Days to Load that you require for each of them.

I am finding when I only want one the current day loaded (I have days to load set to either 1 or 2) it still loads months worth of data. What am I doing wrong in this instance?

Makes no sense to us.

Make sure that Chart >> Chart Settings >> Use Number of Days to Load is selected.
