Enter |
Used to rescale the chart. Restores both the Value/Price Scale and the Time Scale to the default spacing and to activate the AutoScale feature. Once the AutoScale feature is activated, the charts automatically scale themselves until a manual scaling command is entered. |
Esc |
Used with pointer tools. If Esc is pressed after a tool has been drawn, the pointer tool selection to is changed to None. If Esc is pressed while a tool is being used, the tool drawing is removed from the chart, but the cursor remains an active pointer tool. For example, suppose you are adding speed lines to a chart. Click once to start drawing the lines, but you decide to start the drawing elsewhere. Press Esc, so that the first line is removed from the chart, but the pointer tool is still active (as evidenced by the cursor). If you press Esc during an adjustment of a tool drawing, the drawing returns to its previous state. |
