Hello, I am using the extend dom using control/alt to place orders. I just updated to the latest version (2638), was there a change regarding using alt b/c now it is back to shift instead? If so, was there an update to choose the keyboard shortcut that I am missing? And lastly if you could make it an option to automatically show the crosshairs on the chart when ctrl/alt is used with extend dom on that would be awesome! Thank you!

There was a change some time ago where it uses Ctrl and Shift now. Refer to the following setting:
Chart Settings: Extend Chart DOM Across Entire Chart When Using Ctrl(Buy) / Shift(Sell) (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Trading menu)

There is not a built-in way to have the crosshairs only show when holding Ctrl or Shift.

Thank you for the response. ctrl and alt is preferable but if user specified simply isn't an option I'll manage.

Would it be possible to have a price line appear across the chart from the chart dom when using ctrl/shift? thanks again.

There is not an option to define the keys to be used for extending the DOM. It is set to use Ctrl and Shift.

There is not an option to have a line, or crosshairs, to show when holding Ctrl or Shift.
