1) check:
Menu >> Trade >> ...
chart Trade Mode ON (Enabled)
Trading Locked (Disabled)
Trading Keyboard Shortcuts (Enabled)


2)
Global Settings >> Customize Keyboard Shortcuts

1. Select Global Settings >> Customize Keyboard Shortcuts.
2. In the Commands list, choose the particular menu command that you wish to set up a keyboard shortcut for.
3. Choose the particular key in the list of keyboard keys and the key modifiers (Control, Alt, Shift) to assign to the Selected Command.
4. Note: Do not use individual letters and numbers for keyboard shortcuts without a modifier (Control, Alt, Shift). Keyboard shortcuts are handled at the operating system level and you will lose use of these individual letters and numbers that you use if you are not using a modifier. For example, if you use the number 1, you will not be able to type 1 any longer within Sierra Chart text boxes.
5. Press the Assign button to assign the chosen keyboard shortcut to the Selected Command.


Customize Keyboard Shortcuts
Global Settings Menu: Customize Keyboard Shortcuts (Global Settings menu)

3)
Search Item "Trading Keyboard Shortcuts" in the list

According to the previous point above(2), find the command and assign a keyboard shortcut for it

4)
Test it ;)
