Hi When using the text tool, Is it possible to get the Window for the modify text via a keyboard Shortcut option ? Currently i'm using a default text shortcut but then have to right click and Modify text to get the Bigger window for text. I've seen the option to add it via text properties but it only has a single line and requires too many clicks just to add some text.

There is not an option for this. For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing Date Time Of Last Edit: 2024-08-13 13:35:05

TradingView has now made their objects directly manipulatable (if that's a term). Every object has a nifty little "Add Text" water market that can be clicked to add text. Objects like fibs and forks can even have text entered at each level seen on screen. As you hover your mouse over a level or object, you get the "Add Text" watermark faded onto the screen and if you click, you can just type or edit. That's how it should be done in SierraChart also. Or, as mentioned, at least have a hot key or a double-click and a text edit box in the dialog. Best solution I have is to use a keyboard maestro macro to hit the right-click menu and select Modify Text for me. Good luck everybody. Sierra Chart is still absolutely awesome!

Thanks - would be useful if the tool can reduce the number of clicks to get to the text box. on The text properties it requires multiple clicks as well to get a bigger text box for notes. Perhaps a bigger text box in the main window without having to click the double arrow could work better.
