I'd like to be able to quickly put a buy/sell limit order at market price. Is there any good way to do it?

This can be done through the Trade Window and with Keyboard shortcuts. All of this is documented here:

We do not understand the purpose of the question.

Do you understand what a Bid price is and what a Ask price is?

Do you know what a limit order is?

For example, do you know what is meant Buy Ask? So you do not understand this is a buy limit order at the ask price? Did you think of trying these in trade simulation mode.

I don't think I am wasting time. I am trying to figure out how to use the system in the way that I wanted.
I want to buy/sell limit at market price. But the option is buy/sell -1 tick, +1tick etc.
say if the current price is 1888.00 on screen, the price fluctuate, especially in low liquidity, it may have a knee jerk, shot up to 1888.25 or 1888.50 for bid price. If I choose buy limit +1 tick, that will put me at 1888.75 as I understand. But then, market quick reverse back to 1888.00. This is not a scenario that I want. Am I wrong?!
