Is there a way to select a chart QUICK?

In my workspace I have multiple charts open, but only trade 1. My trades require that I act within seconds sometimes. The problem is that I'm finding that I'm having an issue accidentally being on another chart and having the trade be missed. I try to click the trading chart before the trade but that proves to be a little inefficient to execute quickly and consistently. I know that you can "Goto chart." Is there a way that I can, instead of having to select the chart each time which takes too long, just assign a chart to automatically go to. Preferably with hotkeys? Can you make something like this?

Would be much easier to just press a key before each trade and know that things will work.

Thanks

You could set up a control bar button for a Chartbook:
Control Bar: Control Bar Chartbook Buttons

And you can then also set up a keyboard shortcut as well for that Chartbook.

Hi SC,

I actually meant a chart within a chartbook. I have a single chartbook across multiple screens.

Hello SC

Since i'm still running into situations where the Chart Window shortcut would be useful, just following up. On the top menu there is a dropdown CB and CW. If you could set a keyboard shortcut for CW the same way as it exists for CB, i really think that could be helpful to many users since we often have many charts open. I wouldn't ask if i didn't think this was a simple feature to implement. I realize you have millions of hours of work to do on the platform; in any case I just want to keep this request relevant

Thanks

We will see about adding keyboard shortcuts for the chart windows where you can assign a keyboard shortcut to a particular chart number in the active Chartbook.
