Post From: The “Right-Click Exits Current Drawing Tool To” Setting Is Not Working Properly

Thank you for your response. I would argue that my interpretation is the only correct one. This setting is called “Right-Click Exits Current Drawing Tool To.” So it’s perfectly logical that when a user right-clicks, they expect the action they selected from the settings to occur under all circumstances. In my case, that’s switching to the hand tool. If that doesn’t happen, the user is naturally confused because the action they set up didn’t occur. Therefore, anything other than switching to the set tool doesn’t make sense. If a different action were to occur after right-clicking, then it should have its own separate setting and not alter the logic of this one. I’m quite upset about this change, since now the same action requires two clicks instead of one. Not to mention that I recorded a tutorial video for my students specifically explaining this functionality. Now, I’ll be inundated with questions about why it isn’t doing what it’s supposed to do. With all due respect, I also disagree that it’s irrelevant how this works on other platforms. If you want to enable people to transition smoothly from other trading platforms to Sierra Chart, then you should offer them a setting that ensures they can control the platform in a way that’s standard in this industry—which exiting to the default tool (pointer, crosshair, hand tool) upon right-clicking is. Please restore this setting and add a separate one for situations where a drawing tool is actually being used. Thank you. By the way, I’d be very interested to know what “issues” the user mentioned had with this setting. Could you please provide a link to the thread where this was discussed? |
