Shortcut / Hotkeys

All key binding is performed through the CLI

There are two ways to bind keys

  1. For the current instrument and exchange only (default)

  2. Globally, for every instrument and exchange

Most keys will accept a binding, including letters a-z, A-Z, some symbols, numerical 1,2,3,4... , F-keys and special keys such as Escape, Space etc can be used by typing a special code. Enter "bind help" to see the list.

Further you can use the modifier-keys: ctrl, alt/option and shift for key combinations:

bind ctrl+a "<command>", bind f+alt "<command>"

After you successfully bind the key, pressing that key will trigger the command.

You do not need the Terminal CLI window to be open for your keys to function.

You can also configure a Elgato Stream Deck for the Terminal's hotkeys.
