Post From: Feature: Keyboard Actions for Drawn Tools

Is it possible to add a feature to enable keyboard controls for various drawn tools? At the moment when a drawn shape is selected, if I use up/down or left/write keys on the keyboard, they do default actions for the chart. It would be nice to control the drawn tools with the keyboard. For example, when I draw a Volume By Price study by hand assume it covers a certain number of bars in the middle of the chart. Then I can select the drawn Volume By Price study to highlight it. It would then be nice to be able to extend the Volume By Price by one bar to the right each time I press the right arrow key. At the moment I have to carefully find the right corner (top or bottom) of the profile and extend with the mouse. If I am on a 15-minute chart and want to see how the profile shape changed as each next bar formed by adding one bar at a time to the profile, it becomes fairly cumbersome to use the mouse. I usually give up doing that when I study the charts because it is pretty inconvenient. Ideally, this feature request is to add default keyboard actions for many of the drawing tools when they are selected. When no drawn tool is selected, the keyboard actions can act on the chart as they do now in the current version. There is no urgency on this request although I can use it when it becomes available. It is just a convenience and usability feature. Thanks. |
