Shortcuts

Shortcuts are scoped. Terminal-level shortcuts control app panels and session actions. Chart shortcuts control the active chart or drawing layer. Shortcuts are ignored while you are typing in an input, textarea, select, or editable field.

Shortcut scope

When a shortcut does not fire, click the Terminal workspace or active chart once and try again. Modal dialogs, dropdowns, and text inputs can intentionally capture keyboard input.

Practical usage

  • Use Enter to jump back to chat after inspecting a chart.
  • Use Shift + T to add a comparison chart.
  • Use Shift + R to replace the active chart symbol.
  • Use I when you need to inspect active indicators.
  • Use Alt + O to open or close the trade ticket.
  • Use drawing hotkeys for quick chart annotation, then hide drawings with H when you need a clean view.
