CTL Up and Down Arrows

View Count: 330

When I hit Ctl Up Arrow, or Ctl Down Arrow it adjusts the width of my renko bars.

I see in the documentation where the "Up Arrow" and "Down Arrow" are used to adjust spacing, but I'm using CTL Up and CTL Down arrow and therefore should not be getting the same action.

I don't want this to be the case as I want to use those button presses as part of a custom study.

Can you please tell me how can I stop them from adjusting the bar width?

When you're trading from a keyboard and not using the mouse, the up and down arrows are natural tools to use.

Thanks for the help.

Reset all the keyboard shortcuts back to default. You must have configured these:
Global Settings Menu: Customize Keyboard Shortcuts (Global Settings menu)

They do not exist by default.

Your documentation indicates this is a default:
Changing Bar Spacing
[Link] - [Top]
There are several ways to change spacing between the bars or columns in a chart. All of the available methods are explained below.

These methods also apply to TPO Profile Charts.

Use the Up and Down arrow keys on your keyboard to increase or decrease the chart bar spacing by 1 graphics pixel at a time, respectively.

It also looks as though this question may have been asked about a year ago, but I don't see an answer to ThreadID=77696.

Those particular arrow keys on their own cannot be changed at all. They are defaulted for adjusting bar spacing. There is no way around this.

OK. I'll just have to live with it. It's not the end of the world, but I would have to say that was not a great choice.

I'd really like to see that made user defined at some point in the future if at all possible.

But thanks for looking into it for me.
