Is there any keyboard shortcuts for scrolling up and down when this option is enabled? Is there any way to set the "Page Up" and "Page Down" keys to do these functions. Currently the "Page Up" and "Page Down" keys compact or expand the price bars in a chart. I have searched the online help but have found nothing.

Thanks.

This is an old post but I've been hunting all over for this as well. Very frustrating having no way to scroll in a workspace except with the mouse. I'm a hotkey trader and am almost never touching the mouse while I trade. Is there really no way to add the ability to scroll the workspace via hotkey? At the moment I'm going to have to resort to a macro to handle this and that's a really clumsy solution.

Hi j4ytr4der_,

I managed to program hotkeys using autohotkey to do this. I have set it up so that the PageUP and PageDN keys work both with Sierra chart and will function as normal with other applications. When working with Sierra Chart you have to identify the upmost and lowest coordinates of the scroll bar that you want the mouse to click, and insert these coordinates into the macro. For the most part these coordinates remain static, but very seldom if they change, you would need to update the macro with the new coordinates, using autohotkey's "windows spy" utility. I have attached the autohotkey macro PageSC.ahk.

Yep, I did the same but with keysticks.net which I use to map hotkeys to an Xbox controller so I can trade from that. Working fine, just a pretty silly workaround.
