Hiding and Unhiding Studies with a Single Command

Hello, While setting up keyboard shortcuts, I encountered an inconsistency. While we can hide or unhide all drawings with a single command (Hide All Chart Drawings), when it comes to studies, this action requires two commands (Hide All Studies and Unhide All Studies). This means that, instead of setting just one keyboard shortcut to hide/unhide studies, I have to set two. This seems unnecessary and impractical to me, since it could be done simply with a single keyboard shortcut. I don’t know if there’s a specific reason for this, but wouldn’t it be possible to unify this with how drawings are hidden and unhidden—that is, with just one command? Thank you. |

This is how it is and it definitely will not change. We have thousands of other things to do and this is not something we will change.

Thank you for your reply. I certainly don’t want to bother you with unnecessary things. I fully understand that you must have a lot on your plate. I just wanted to point out that hiding/unhiding could work more simply (more naturally). I have the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + H set for hiding/unhiding drawings and Shift + H for hiding studies. This way, I have to set up an extra keyboard shortcut just to hide them, which I consider unnecessary when a single command could do the job. I understand that this might seem unnecessary to you, since all indicators can be hidden using another keyboard shortcut. However, space on the keyboard is limited, and I use a lot of keyboard shortcuts. When I want to control the platform with my right hand on the mouse and my left hand on the keyboard, I don’t have that many options available. There are only a few keyboard shortcuts that can be pressed with the left hand. That’s why I have to carefully choose which commands to assign to these shortcuts. If hiding and unhiding studies could be done with a single keyboard shortcut, I’d save space on my keyboard for another function. I’m just sharing this so you understand why this is important to me. If you could add my suggestion to the list of feature requests, I’d be grateful. Feel free to put it at the very end with the lowest priority, but please consider it. Thank you. |

You can show/hide up to 20 studies with the study at https://starpenta.com/widgets-and-utilities @deenius. Might have to play around with settings to get a free keyboard shortcut. I have mine set to ctrl+shift+w which works with one hand. |
