3acor Posted January 7, 2021 Report Share Posted January 7, 2021 Hey, I am trying to set a hot key using SHIFT + (Z,X,V,B...) but it tells me it is globally reserved. What does that mean? Can I override it? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Medved Posted January 7, 2021 Report Share Posted January 7, 2021 Well Shift-Z is just a capital Z.. MT reserves all letters so you can type things in input boxes. Try ctrl-z? ctrl-shift-Z? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3acor Posted January 7, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2021 I see.. would be great to have an option for those who want to use SHIFT for hotkey as CTRL size is small on the keyboard and ctrl-shift is too many buttons can easily mess it up In that case, for those who opt for that option only lower case will work to type things in input boxes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3acor Posted January 7, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2021 by the way, if I set the Routing to Default in hotkey, it would chose whatever is in SETTING/TRADING/ACCOUNTS/ORDER SETTINGS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3acor Posted January 7, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2021 So even CTRL + V,X.... don't work as they are reserved globally. Is it possible to have an option to override the global settings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Medved Posted January 8, 2021 Report Share Posted January 8, 2021 Ctrl-V, ctrl-C, ctrl-X are special windows keys... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arg Posted January 8, 2021 Report Share Posted January 8, 2021 I agree with 3acor. It is restrictive to not be able to use shift-letter. And I would also like no globally reserved hotkeys. Especially, please don't reserve any Fn keys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prash Posted February 19, 2021 Report Share Posted February 19, 2021 I agree - this makes the hotkey feature very restrictive. I like to use the shift key due to its size and other programs like TWS support that. It'd be nice to be able to override this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasper Posted February 19, 2021 Report Share Posted February 19, 2021 Pressing Fn key has no affect in MT. Fn+any key is just any key. I agree, shift key size is very convenient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry Medved Posted April 2, 2021 Report Share Posted April 2, 2021 We've made SHIFT+Key available so you can so SHIFT+A, SHIFT+B, etc. that should significantly open up the # of keys available Will be in the next build. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
