Assign Mouse Shortcuts

You can record mouse-click shortcuts to specific order creation and transmission commands, such as buy, sell, transmit and cancel and many others.

To assign a mouse shortcut

  1. On the Configure menu, select Global Configuration, then select Hot Keys.

  1. In the Possible Actions list, choose an action to which you want to assign a mouse shortcut and click Create Shortcut.

 

  1. In the Mouse area, use the Market Data Field drop-down to choose the field you click in to activate the shortcut.

  1. In the Click Event drop-down, choose the click method you will use in the selected field to initiate the shortcut.

 

 

  1. Click Apply, then clickClose.

Example:  If you choose Cancel Order in Possible Actions, Bid Size in Market Data Field, and Left Click as the Click Event, when you use your mouse to click (Left Click) in the Bid Size column, you will cancel the order. Note that you must have the appropriate field displayed to use this mouse shortcut! To hide and display fields, use the Layout Manager.

NOTE: Mouse shortcuts will override default mouse actions. To return to default mouse action, you must re-set the action as a shortcut in the Hot Keys and Mouse Shortcuts box.
