I've been looking through the hotkey options list - friggen HUGE!! Quite the effort to complete.

But I cannot seem to find a shortcut option for charts (not chartbooks).
Is there a hotkey option to select (say), chart #7 ?

I have a few charts in my book, and I would like to not have to scroll all the way over to that chart and click it, in order to use buy sell hotkeys. Since I have 4 monitors - I am always clicking other charts. These charts are a different symbol than the vehicle I'm trading, so I cannot enable them for trading / hotkeys. Actually, my trade window is pretty small, and It's hard to get to.

If this isn't an option for hotkeys, would you consider adding it?

I don't follow what you're saying. For me, control alt a is alert log.
I still do not understand how to hotkey certain charts in a chartbook.
Can anyone help?

For my setup, by default, it has CTRL-ALT-A as Alert. In the Windows menu, there are 3 possible choices, Previous Chart-> F4 Next Chart-> F9 and GoTo Chart Number, causes a popup window where you enter the chart # you want to go to. By default this does not have a keyboard shortcut, but you could assign one. Or you could use AutoHotKey, a keyboard macro program that support suggests and you could assign the entire thing to a key combo, including the chart # you wanted to jump to.

I have default it what i wrote above. Maybe I've changed in the past. I don't know. I have been using sierrachart almost 10 years every day.


try and set:
Global settings >> Customize Chart Shortcut Menu .. ADD-> .. Goto Chart Number
Global settings >> Customize Keyboard Shortcuts >> Window .. Goto Chart Number

Hi, would it be possible to see a tabular version of all the keyboard shortcuts in their current settings? This could be a spreadsheet (or a read-only interface) with two simple columns: [keyboard combination] and the [Sierra predefined action]. This view may not be editable. This is just to show a complete perspective of all the keyboard shortcuts configured. Thank you.
