If I want to use the Chart Value/Crosshair tool, I simply Right Click to access the Mouse Menu and select Chart Value/Crosshair. But then, if I want to move the chart left or right, I have to move my curser all the way to the upper main bar menu to select the Hand tool. I then have to repeat the process every time I want to switch from Crosshair to Hand tool. I've searched for an option to Add Hand Tool to Right Click Mouse Menu, but found none. In fact, I found no option to add any function to the Right Click Mouse Menu.

You might say that the chart can be moved left & right while the Crosshairs are selected by pointing the Arrow at the Slider below the Time bar, but while that is ok for wide sweeping movements, the amount of movement is too excessive for the required shorter left/right chart adjustments.

So, it would be handy if the Hand Tool could be added to and accessed via the Right Click Mouse Menu.

Thanks

Thanks. I followed your link to open the Customize Chart Drawing Menu and found no HAND or Chart Drawing Tools Listed.

Please view screen shots of the Customize Chart Drawing Menu to confirm my findings.

Here is a screenshot showing where it is in the list. Note that the list is in order off the Pulldown menus and each "section" starts with "--"
