Workspace Changer for NT8

[zimzam]

Has anyone encountered a utility to quickly and easily jump among open work spaces in NT8?
I have used one for NT7 for years but cannot find the equivalent for NT8.

Hi zimzam, thanks for your post and welcome to the NinjaTrader forum.

You can go to Tools>Hotkeys>Global and set a hotkey combo to switch between the workspaces. See documentation below:

Please let me know if I can assist any further.

Well, yes you can help further.
I typically trade with 5 work spaces and want to have a discreet hotkey for each.
Please provide a little more direction on how to achieve that.

Hi zimzam, thanks for your reply.

The best way to select a particular workspace would be to select it from the Workspaces menu at the top of the NT Control Center.

Please let me know if I can assist any further.

Hello zimzam,

I have submitted a request to have a hot key added that can switch to a specific workspace. Additional hot keys are tracked in the internal ticket ID SFT-2386. This is an internal number, but for anyone else wishing to have their interest tracked, please let our support staff know that you would like a vote added for this request.

We receive many requests and cannot reasonably implement all requested features or changes. Interest is tracked internally and if enough interest is tracked, it would be weighed against how feasible it would be to make those changes to consider implementing.

In the meantime, hot keys can be configured to switch workspaces from the Control Center's Tools > Hot Keys > Global menu.

We look forward to assisting.
