Keyboard shortcuts
Every key the chart answers — the keys sheet, the Guided and Pro screens, Aurum keys and the keys of other chart sites, the Lens prefixes, one-key tools and G chords.
Most of the chart can be driven from the keyboard, and the keys sheet lists every key that works. Which letters do what depends on two settings: the screen (Guided or Pro) and the key set (Aurum keys or the keys of other chart sites).
What it is#
One key map feeds the tooltips, the menus, the keys sheet and the Lens, so a key the sheet shows is a key that works. Ctrl below is ⌘ on a Mac, where Delete is ⌫; the sheet prints the keys of your computer.
Where it is#
Press ? on the chart, or open More (⋯) and click Keys. The sheet is grouped as the sections below; on the Guided screen the Pro-only rows are greyed, with the note Greyed keys work on the Pro screen and a Switch to Pro link.
Guided and Pro#
More › Screen offers Guided — tips while you draw, asks before deleting and Pro — one-key tools, deletes at once with Undo; everyone starts Guided. On Guided a letter typed on the chart opens the Lens with that letter in the box; on Pro the letters arm tools and open panels, and an unbound letter still opens the Lens. Numbers, zoom and replay keys work on both.
Aurum keys and the keys of other chart sites#
More › Keyboard offers Aurum keys — numbers pick the timeframe and Keys of other chart sites. With the second set, Alt plus a letter arms the tool traders know from elsewhere, a digit opens the Lens to type a timeframe (5, 15, 60, 4h, D), and / opens the Indicators. Under Aurum keys those Alt keys only show a toast once per visit — ⌥T is the trend line on other chart sites · Use those keys — whose button switches the set.
| Other chart sites | Does |
|---|---|
| Alt+T / H / J / V / F | Trend line / horizontal line / horizontal ray / vertical line / Fib retracement |
| Alt+Shift+R | Rectangle |
| Alt+R | Reset the view |
The Lens#
Ctrl+K opens the Lens anywhere, even inside a text field; / opens it for symbols. The first character sets what it searches: @ symbols, + add an indicator, − remove one, > commands, # layouts, . tools, ? keys, : timeframes. ↑ ↓ move, Enter runs, Tab jumps to the next section, Esc clears and then closes. See Symbols and markets.
