Shortcut or Hot Key helper

[deanldavis475]

Within the past several months, (since July of this year I believe) I saw a post related to an outside software utility or program that would operate to allow a shortcut to operate within Ninja trader. The purpose that I was interested in was to be able to open the workspace change prompt in fewer keystrokes and not have to first locate the control pannel. I am aware of the Shift + F3 function and that is not what I want.
I thought I had written the name of the software down but for the life of me I cant find it or locate the post where I think I saw it.
Can anyone help me here????
Thanks
Dean

dean,

If you go to Tools > Hot Key Manager you can setup whatever hot keys you want for this functionality. There are also a bunch of other functions in there you can assign hot keys to.

Please let me know if I may assist further.

Yes but ...

I am aware of that ability. I normally have 4 workspaces open and I would like to be able to press a key, Alt+E for example to open the Euro (6E) workspace and Alt+C t o open the Oil (CL) workspace and Alt+S to open the S&P (ES). This does not appear to be possible within NT at this time and someone on the forum had suggested an alternate piece of software that would accomplish this. I just cant recall the name of that software. Any help with that??? I am sure it was a post from a NT Tech on NT.

hot key move workspaces

what is the hotkey for scrolling workspaces plez

[NinjaTrader_AdamP]

laredo,

If you go to Tools > Hot Keys > Global you can set up such hot keys. It looks like it defaults to "Shift+F3", but you can customize it.

Please let me know if I may assist further.

workspace shift

entering shift+Z doesnt seem to work,wont take it?

[NinjaTrader_AdamP]

laredo,

Shift+Z is a capital Z. You would need to use an unreserved key combination.

Please let me know if I may assist further.

[laredo78676]

for example?

[NinjaTrader_AdamP]

Laredo,

There is a list of reserved key combinations here.

Shift + any letter is a capital letter. Since you can type directly into charts to change the instrument, and also into most applications such as web browsers, etc., Shift + any symbol, number or letter is reserved.

Control + Z is usually paste, so I would suggest possibly Shift + Control + Z or something.

Please let me know if I may assist further.
