Hi guys, Is there a way to change chartbooks using only hotkeys. I know I can go to CB and mouse down to the chartbook I want. Unfortunately "CB" doesn't show up in the hotkey list. In a perfect world, there's something like "Go to chart" that accepts a chart number for the move. Any ideas ? thanks. have a great day. |

There is only "Previous Chartbook" and "Next Chartbook". Refer to the following: Window, CB and CW Menus: Previous Chartbook (Window) For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

If you are willing to use a keyboard macro program, AutoHotKey can do these sort of things to work with SC. Hope this helps, JohnR |

JohnR, Thanks. By coincidence, I just downloaded AHK. Reading the manual and stuff to get some ideas. Sounds like a great suggestion...didn't realize that it might be applicable in this instance. |

I would think about this route as a solution to your issue. First make the main SC window active, then select the menu item CB, by keying ALT B, then either cursor down to the item you want, or if they are started with different letters/ numbers key in that and then press enter. You can play with the delay between commands. I chose 200ms. Win=# + Alt=! + s = brings 7 SierraChart chart windows to the front for ES or Oil Daily use>> key combo WIN_ALT_s SetTitleMatchMode RegEx jorTitle = Sierra Chart if WinExist(jorTitle) { WinActivate ; sleep,200 Send !b sleep,200 Send {down}{down} sleep,200 Send {Enter} sleep,200 } |

Anyone else looking for this, here's an example of switching between 3 chartbooks which start with the letters 'E' (pressing the Pause key), 'P' (pressing the Scroll lock key), and 'I' (pressing the Print screen key). Modify as needed for your use case. Set the title of your SC instance using Global=>General=>GUI=>Custom Title Bar name. In this case I set it to "Sierra Chart Denali": Thanks to JohnR who basically wrote this above, but this is a full working script using autohotkey v2. #Requires AutoHotkey v2.0 #SingleInstance Force SetTitleMatchMode 1 Pause:: { if WinExist("Sierra Chart Denali") { WinActivate ; Sleep 10 SendInput "!b" Sleep 10 SendInput "e" } } ScrollLock:: { if WinExist("Sierra Chart Denali") { WinActivate ; Sleep 10 SendInput "!b" Sleep 10 SendInput "p" } } PrintScreen:: { if WinExist("Sierra Chart Denali") { WinActivate ; Sleep 10 SendInput "!b" Sleep 10 SendInput "i" } } |
