I have multiple charts open.

In one of the charts, when I LEFT CLICK on the y scale numbers, the interaction is to SCALE the chart. In that same chart if I hold the CNTRL KEY and then LEFT CLICK the mouse, the chart MOVES .


In another of the charts its the opposite, when I LEFT CLICK on they y scale numbers, the interaction is to MOVE the chart. In that same chart if I hold the CNTRL KEY and then LEFT CLICK the mouse, the chart SCALES.


How do I make the mouse interaction the same in all charts? I do not recall altering or setting this.

You just need to change what is the selected option for the chart. You can do this by right-clicking on the scale and selecting the appropriate option (Interactive Scale Range or Interactive Scale Move). Refer to the information here:

Dear SC Support,

If I'm in 'interactive scale range' mode so left click and hold will change the scale. Is it possible to reverse the scale movement, so lifting the mouse will 'make the candles bigger' expanding the scale instead of 'making them smaller'?

We do not understand what you mean by "lifting the mouse will 'make the candles bigger'".

When you are in Interactive Scale Range mode if you left click on the scale and hold, as you drag the mouse up, the scale will compress, as you drag the mouse down, the scale will expand. Refer to the information here:
Chart Scale and Scale Adjusting: Interactive Scale Range - Expand/Compress Scale

"as you drag the mouse up, the scale will compress, as you drag the mouse down, the scale will expand"

is it possible to reverse that, so that when I drag the mouse up the scale will expand?

Thanks

There is no setting to change the way the scale compresses and expands with the mouse.

This is not something we would be able to do any time soon.
