Keyboard shortcuts let you perform common actions without reaching for the mouse. Learning the core shortcuts dramatically speeds up chart analysis — especially during fast-moving markets where seconds matter.

​
Chart Navigation

Navigation shortcuts control scrolling, zooming, and positioning within the chart.

​
Scrolling Behavior

The scroll wheel zooms horizontally by default, expanding or compressing the time axis. Holding Ctrl while scrolling changes to vertical zoom, adjusting the price scale. This two-axis zoom gives you precise control over how much data is visible.
Press End to quickly snap back to the current market price after scrolling through historical data. This is the fastest way to return to live trading view.

​
Crosshair

The crosshair displays a vertical and horizontal guide line that follows your cursor, with price and time labels on the axes. Crosshair modes let you choose the level of visual guidance you prefer.

​
Drawing Tools

Drawing shortcuts activate the corresponding tool. Once activated, click on the chart to place the drawing. Press Escape to cancel the current drawing operation and return to the pointer tool.

​
Drawing Workflow

1

Activate the tool

Press the shortcut key (e.g., H for horizontal line) or select the tool from the toolbar.
2

Place the drawing

Click on the chart to set the first anchor point. For multi-point tools (trend line, Fibonacci), click again to set the second point.
3

Adjust if needed

After placement, click and drag the anchor handles to reposition. The drawing snaps to price levels for precision.
4

Deactivate the tool

Press Escape or click the pointer tool in the toolbar. The drawing remains on the chart.
Drawings are saved per-tab within the workspace. They persist across sessions and are included in cloud sync if enabled.

​
Selection and Editing

​
Indicator Shortcuts

The indicator dialog provides a searchable list of all available indicators. Type to filter by name, then press Enter to add the selected indicator to the active chart pane.

​
Workspace Management

Ctrl + Tab and Ctrl + Shift + Tab cycle through tabs like a browser. Combined with numbered tab shortcuts (Ctrl + 1 through Ctrl + 9), you can navigate complex multi-tab workspaces without touching the mouse.

​
General

Pressing Ctrl + F opens the symbol search overlay. Type any part of a symbol name to filter the available instruments. Use the arrow keys to navigate results and Enter to select. The chart in the active pane switches to the selected symbol immediately.

​
Customization

Keyboard shortcuts are currently pre-configured and cannot be remapped through the UI. The shortcuts are designed to be consistent with common trading terminal conventions and avoid conflicts with operating system shortcuts.
On macOS, replace Ctrl with Cmd for all shortcuts. For example, Cmd + Tab switches tabs, Cmd + N creates a new tab, and Cmd + , opens Settings.
