How do I change the default DOM settings that extend the DOM across the entire chart?

I find myself hitting the ctrl + left click button a lot by mistake, which accidently gets me into LONG positions.

So how do I change ctrl (buy) to another key, and same thing for the Shift (Sell) key.

There is no option to change the key that is used to actually "extend the DOM" across the chart. That is, it is tied to CTRL+click and SHIFT+click.

The option available, however is to change the setting that allows this option. Although there is not a keyboard shortcut to turn this off/on. Refer to the following:
Chart Settings: Extend Chart DOM Across Entire Chart When Using Ctrl(Buy) / Shift(Sell) (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Trading menu)

We have noted feature requests for the following:
- Allow user to change the keys used to extend the DOM across the entire chart

- Have a keyboard shortcut/Control Bar button to toggle on/off the option for "Extend Chart DOM Across Entire Chart When Using Ctrl/Shift"
