Hi there,

I am using the text-tool a lot - and there are a few features I haven`t been able to create so far. Maybe they are there, but I haven't found them:

1) close text-tool-window
I have to click "Ok" to close the window. Cannot use Return-key or something else to close the text-tool-window. Does anybody know another way to close the window?
Favorite way: Strg + Enter to close text-window


2) Modify text on chart
Is there another way than right click - modify text - [change text] - click enter (I guess this has to be done with a ACSIL-script)
Favorite way: hotkey + click on text

3) create quick text on chart
Favorite way: Ctrl + click on chart > create text there (+close the text-box with strg+enter)

Does anybody know ways to work with the text-tool?

Thank you,
Marlon
