Keyboard shortcuts
Overview
This article lists shortcuts built in Advanced Charts and Trading Platform.
You cannot override or disable built‑in shortcuts, except for the Open indicators, Save chart layout, and Enable keyboard navigation shortcuts that can be disabled using the insert_indicator_dialog_shortcut,save_shortcut, and accessibility featuresets, respectively.
However, you can specify custom shortcuts using the onShortcut method.
For example, the code sample below specifies a shortcut that opens Symbol Search.
// Alt+Q
widget.onShortcut("alt+q", function() {
widget.chart().executeActionById("symbolSearch");
});
A shortcut dialog is not available in the libraries, therefore, you need to implement a custom dialog if necessary.
