Please let me know if I can assign a letter to every market chart in a way that whenever I press that letter, the corresponding chart gets activated. For example by pressing N, Nasdaq charts gets activated instead of clicking on it. It's much easier for me to have my charts activated by keyboard rather than mouce. Attached please find an image showing like by pressing R key, I want that chart gets active and so on.


Thank you.

No this is definitely not going to make sense to do.

Not exactly what you asked for, but you can go to the next chart by hitting F9, and the previous chart with F4.

If you are willing to use a keyboard macro program, AutoHotKey, it is very easy to do. I doubt you will be able to just press a single letter key, but you will be able to use a letter key with other combinations. I prefer to use Contol and Windows keys as the other 2 keys. Doing that I have not run into any conflicts.

Below is my post from another forum topic. -- Solved within AHK--> was Enhance 'Goto Chart Number' within the 'Windows' on SC main menu

I just successfully created a test script to run an AHK using WinExist and WinActivate on 2 SC chart windows. Way, way faster.

User907968 - thanks again for sharing.

To get it to work in each of the charts, I changed the Adv settings pg 2 Title Bar Name and check box for Use Title Bar Name as Tab Label.

Very kewl - thanks again
