Is there a way to select a chart QUICK?

In my workspace I have multiple charts open, but only trade 1. My trades require that I act within seconds sometimes. The problem is that I'm finding that I'm having an issue accidentally being on another chart and having the trade be missed. I try to click the trading chart before the trade but that proves to be a little inefficient to execute quickly and consistently. I know that you can "Goto chart." Is there a way that I can, instead of having to select the chart each time which takes too long, just assign a chart to automatically go to. Preferably with hotkeys? Can you make something like this?

Would be much easier to just press a key before each trade and know that things will work.

Thanks

You could set up a control bar button for a Chartbook:
Control Bar: Control Bar Chartbook Buttons

And you can then also set up a keyboard shortcut as well for that Chartbook.

Hi SC,

I actually meant a chart within a chartbook. I have a single chartbook across multiple screens.

Hello SC

Since i'm still running into situations where the Chart Window shortcut would be useful, just following up. On the top menu there is a dropdown CB and CW. If you could set a keyboard shortcut for CW the same way as it exists for CB, i really think that could be helpful to many users since we often have many charts open. I wouldn't ask if i didn't think this was a simple feature to implement. I realize you have millions of hours of work to do on the platform; in any case I just want to keep this request relevant

Thanks

We will see about adding keyboard shortcuts for the chart windows where you can assign a keyboard shortcut to a particular chart number in the active Chartbook.

Hello SC Team,
Was this implemented, where a shortcut can be assigned to a specific window within the chartbook to make it active?
Thanks

Maybe not the perfect solution, but F4 and F9 move to the Previous and Next charts.

Found myself in the same situation as OP. Multiple charts within the same chartbook, some have different plans and risk/reward setups. Being able to hotkey to a specific chart would be slick! I know its low priority but I hope you guys can get to it soon. <3

You can quickly select a chart through the CW menu.
