I'd like to pay for a simple program that listens for certain key macros from my keyboard and routes them to a predefined DOM or trading chart. It will allow me to trade without having to click on the trading DOM or chart. I have about 30 Sierra Chart keyboards I'm making so far (waiting on some custom keys etc)and am about to start selling them but I need some program like this to help interface better. They are mainly for charting and for simple to moderate keyboard trading. I have no idea if Sierra Chart wants to be involved with this at all so I can contact your list of programmers if that's preferred.

We are really quite busy.

The problem is, it may not be possible for anyone on the outside to accomplish what is required.

Although it is possible for an external program to send keystrokes to a particular window by examining its title bar.

This is all I need it to do, I don't program but it seems very simple. I should really learn how to, because I have a lot of ideas for programs etc.. but not enough time.
I'll gladly pay for it, if it's not outrageous.

It is very easy for any outside developer to create an external program to send keystrokes to a particular window.

You can experiment with Auto Hot Key for this.

Yes, I want a stand alone program to go with the keyboard I made though. A bit less of a cob job I think. I already use a program like autohotkey to do a few things. All the macros are coded into the keyboard directly though, so no external program is needed.
