Is there a way to disable "Fast Changing by Keyboard", for bar
periods and symbols?

Thanks

You can turn it off for Symbol changes. Refer to the following setting:
General Settings Window: Support Symbol Entry from Chart Window (Global Settings >> General Settings >> Charts >> Symbol)

But there is not a way to turn off the Bar Period changing option.

I would really like to disable this method of bar period changing. Often we switch between discord / slack / etc and our charts and I can not tell you how many times I have screwed up my charts and signals in the heat of the moment.

PLEASE, allow us to disable this feature!

Thanks!

@User656492,

This now can be done by ACSIL:


    if (sc.CharacterEventCode)
      sc.ClearKeyboardBufferForChart(sc.ChartNumber);

Works great !
