PaulDee 1 Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 Hi, JM! A request for hotkeys to go on your to do list when you have the time please. Backfill would be the most useful to automate the process with a small task scheduled vbscript, then an export followed by a shutdown of MT, at the end of the trading day. Let me know what you think.

0 Jerry Medved 403 Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 backfill already has a keyboard shortcut - CTRL+B Quote Link to post Share on other sites
0 PaulDee 1 Posted September 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 That's great, thankyou. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
0 PaulDee 1 Posted September 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 OK, sorry, I meant for a hotkey to activate Backfill All in the portfolio window. Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
0 Jerry Medved 403 Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 I set B as the KeyTip for the backfill all button, but right now there seems to be some interference with the KeyTip handling and the typing on the portfolio to add symbols. will have to check on that Quote Link to post Share on other sites
0 PaulDee 1 Posted September 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 OK, thanks for the update. Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
0 way 1 Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 I have found a few keyboard shortcuts including CTRL-L for level II, CTRL-R Raw Data. Is there a list of Keyboard shortcuts? Would like to see some for the draw tools at least the Line tool. So if you select a fib draw tool you could just do a key combo to get back to the line tool which I'd think is the most used draw tool. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
0 Jerry Medved 403 Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 there are very few "hidden" keyboard shortcuts. The ones you mention are shown on the right click menu on charts or rows in the quote grid. Some others are shown when you hover over some of the ribbon buttons or drop down the lists for Chart Periods and Chart Frequencies Quote Link to post Share on other sites
0 way 1 Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 Ok. I found what I wanted by adding to the quick access bar using ALT+new-numeral. Thanks thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
0 Jerry Medved 403 Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 I fixed up the issue where the typing symbols on the chart and portfolio would interfere with the ribbon shortcuts, so will now need to go through and add some of the "Key Tips" for the items on the ribbons, to make it easier to get to them with keyboard Quote Link to post Share on other sites
0 PaulDee 1 Posted June 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 Hi, JM! I hate to revisit an old thread but wanted to renew my request for hotkeys to Backfill All in a portfolio window and Exit MT, if you could look into it for me, please? Thankyou PD.

0 PaulDee 1 Posted June 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 Update? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
0 Jerry Medved 403 Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 do not have any update on this. I do not plan to add these hot key for everyone (as would have to be done now). Will have to wait for customized hot keys Quote Link to post Share on other sites
0 PaulDee 1 Posted August 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 Hi, can you add the default to Export/Backup for selection of Data and Tech Support, please? When you add hotkeys, I will use a script to automatically run the export process before closing MT following portfolio backfill after end of day trading. Thanks.

0 Jerry Medved 403 Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 We really don't want to make those default. However, if you are doing scripting, why don't you just make the script check those boxes? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
0 PaulDee 1 Posted August 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 It's done with "SendKeys", so requires a Hotkey setup. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
0 Jerry Medved 403 Posted August 22, 2015 Report Share Posted August 22, 2015 Set as Default button will be there in the next release. I emailed you Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hi, JM!
A request for hotkeys to go on your to do list when you have the time please.
Backfill would be the most useful to automate the process with a small task scheduled vbscript, then an export followed by a shutdown of MT, at the end of the trading day.
Let me know what you think.
Cheers
