One-click attached orders?

Hello,

Is there a shortcut (that can be attributed to one of the mouse button) to "send order with attached orders" or "send normal order without attached orders" when clicking in the DOM.

As you may know when trading on short timeframes speed is crucial, and having all the time to switch enable/disable attached orders cause time/focus loss, leave alone the fact that very often in the heat of action you can forget to switch on or off use attached orders and then create a mess on the DOM, sending 3 orders when you just wanted to put a quick take profit or stop loss.
Having the normal left click to send single orders and for instance the middle click to send orders with attached orders would be very useful.

Thanks

You are able to set up keyboard shortcut or control bar button to enable and disable Attached Orders.

Yes I know that.
Like I explained it's difficult for a scalper to have to switch back and forth between those 2 modes when you try to make decisions quickly.
Truth is I gave up using attached orders long ago because of that reason and I only put my orders manually.
When I tried to use this feature I found myself having to check and uncheck the "Use attached orders" constantly and there was a lot of mistakes when for instance I just wanted to put a simple stop and instead I was sending the full set of attached orders with the stop.
Hence my question, is there solution to enter orders with attached orders by a single click?
