ACSIL can close charts (sc.CloseChart()), but is focusing charts possible? like sc.FocusChart()?
SC engineers mentioned something similar, but I couldn't find more: How do I force an ACS tool button, when enabled, to focus on a chart ...

Chart trading requires a mouse click on the chart, and keyboard shortcuts must be combined with mouse clicks. Alerts would be awesome if "Focus Chart After Alert on Bar Close" was on the Alerts tab, allowing full keyboard trading across chartbooks [like press "F8" then "B", to switch chartbook and buy.... assuming the proper chart was focused after the alert]

I refactored my previous post to be simpler. My passion would be to have full keyboard trading. Thanks.

You can use sc.ChartWindowHandle with the Windows API ShowWindow(sc.ChartWindowHandle, SW_SHOW) function to give the chart window the focus from ACSIL.
