I like to use Crosshair mode a lot but I am often switching back to hand to scroll the chart and then back to crosshair. I know that you can scroll with keyboard as well, but I prefer to use the hand.

if you could make it (when you are in crosshair mode) switch to hand while SHIFT is held down, that would allow the user to drag the chart to scroll it and then release SHIFt and be back in crosshair mode.

please consider this feature, thanks.

We have noted this as a Feature Request. We can not say when we would get to any particular request.

We do want to point out that there is the option to keep the crosshairs on regardless of what tool you select. Refer to the following setting:
Chart Drawing Tools: Action When Other Tools Selected (Global Settings >> Tool Settings >> Chart Values >> Chart Values)
