Hey ya'll, I just want a way to assign a single keyboard hotkey to toggle to LOCK/UNLOCK all the drawings I have on my current chart.

As I have tens of drawings everywhere, sometimes I can drag something by accident, and to right click and then allocate LOCK DRAWING is time-consuming for my trading style, and I have way too much to keep doing that and undoing that when I need to edit or move, just a simple lock and unlock hotkey would be magical!

Thanks so much!

I would also like to add that a hot key to change lock/unlock status for a single drawing would be helpful.
Thanks

Hello SC Team,
Is this feature possibly on the roadmap for the next release? I use the lock/unlock all day long, and it would make the user experience much better if this could just be assigned to a hotkey on my mouse. Thank you for your consideration!

Hello SC Team,
Does the application allow a custom programer to enable this feature or is that secured from the API?
Thanks

or only shortcut menu option _ I use this now: right click on chart and lock/unlock. would like to add it as hotkey.
