Post From: Is there a keyboard hotkey to take control of the SC window/DOM?

I used to use Button Trader until IB tragically forced it to close, and on that program it had a really useful hotkey - the ability to highlight the Button Trader window when another program/window was being used.

For example, if you're surfing using Firefox any hotkey will only work on Firefox. It's only when the mouse moves to take control of another window, say Sierra Chart, that the hotkeys start work for Sierra Chart.

Having a hotkey that highlights the SC DOM is very useful because you might suddenly want to exit/enter at market using a programmed hotkey but your computer is currently in control of the Firefox window or another unrelated program/window.

Is there such a facility/hotkey with SC, I've looked around the help but cannot see one.

Thanks for reading.
