Post From: Feature Request — “Apply Default Bar Spacing”

There were two options added to the Keyboard Shortcuts and Control Bar buttons for "Maximum Chart Bar Spacing" and "Minimum Chart Bar Spacing". These items set the Bar Spacing to a specific value without moving the chart to the end of the chart.

You can define what the "Minimum" and "Maximum" values are, so they do not actually need to be a minimum or maximum, they can be any value you choose, which gives you two buttons/keyboard shortcuts to set the bar spacing as you want. You set these values using the following setting and the one below it:
General Settings Window: Maximum Chart Bar Spacing for Command

The "pixel spacing" that you set for these is the number that is displayed in the bottom right corner of the screen. So when you have your chart set as you want it, note that number in the bottom right, and then set that to one of the commands. Then you can select that button/keyboard shortcut and have your chart set back to what you want.
