Hotkey to place stop/limit orders at cursor price

Hello, I'll like to request the ability to program a hotkey that would place a stop order at the cursor price without the use of the right-click menu.

again the goal is a dedicated keyboard shortcut that would place a stop/limit order where your cursor sits.

Thank you for the help.

Would like to second this. The Move Attached Targets/Stops to Price are pretty useful and would love to see similar for stop/limit order.

Most likely you could achieve this using AutoHotKey - a separate keyboard / mouse macro program - (or another similar of your choice). I have used AHK for a few things I wanted to do in SC and have had no issues of compatibility. Also, the forums for AHK have some folks that respond within minutes that are usually spot on with their suggestions.

Hope this helps,
JohnR
