Move chart backward/forward 1 bar [ and ]

Move chart backward/forward 5 bars Shift-[ and Shift-]

There is a Hot Keys article in TC2000 Help describing all of the hot keys.

Hi Bruce,

I read article in TC2000 help, and the only shortcuts that doesn't work in my case are those two:

Move chart backward/forward 1 bar [ and ]

Move chart backward/forward 5 bars Shift-[ and Shift-]

 

I've tryed with every combinations of CTRL+ , SHIFT + ...

For me there is also some good ones like...

CTRL+1 1min shart

CTRL+2 2min chart

CTRL+3 5min chart

CTRL+B - graf change (OHLC,line, candlesticks...)

 

SHIFT + - (nothing)

 

Maybe i understand wrong. [and] is & or...

The bracket keys [   ] should move the chart backwards and forwards one bar at a time and Shift+[ and Shift+] should move it 5 bars at a time.

Hi bg105rp,

did you managed to find the correct combination of keys?

I can't find the correct combination of keys, because the brackets don't work on my keyboard.

Are you using a keyboard layout that doesn't have the bracket keys on it at all?

If so, could you let me know what keyboard layout it is? I'll try to see if I can find a combination that would work with the layout or some other workaround.

No Bruce, it have brackets on it. And I usally have no problem with "special" characters.

But I am using a Swedish keyboard, could that be the problem?

I am guessing the Swedish keyboard is the problem, but I'm not sure what to do as a workaround.

I'm guessing, but this page wold suggest you want keys 8 and 9 with some control key for the square brackets, not sure what control type key you would need to use.

According to that utility, Ctrl+8 and Ctrl+9 should move the chart backwards and forwards one bar respectively.  Ctrl+7 and Ctrl+0 would move it 5 bars at a time.

I can't get brackets with CTRL+8 or CTRL+9. 

Ctrl+7 No function,

Ctrl+6 switches to a 60min chart

Ctrl+5 switches to a 30min chart and so on.

The way I get brackets in Notepad is AltGr (the right ALT key) + 8 (or 9)
 
I have tried so many combinations that I do not think the function exists when your on a swedish keyboard.
 
But I did find a workaround that can work in desperate situations. ;-)
I typed a bracket in notepad, did an copy of it to clipboard and paste it inside TC2000 and voilá!

That you were able to figure out that work around is pretty amazing. It makes sense, but I'm not sure it is something I would have thought of to try.
