Chart keyboard shortcuts

Every keyboard shortcut in the Charts workspace: the command bar, symbols and intervals, the chart itself and the drawing tools.

More on the workspace

Where the shortcuts work

They apply in the fullscreen Charts workspace, which is in beta on delayed T+1 US-equity history. Charts on a trade's page, the dashboard and the daily report use the mouse.
