Shortcuts · Flowscope app

Chart handling follows TradingView, because your hands already know it. On macOS, read Ctrl as Cmd in the shortcuts below.

Note

Global shortcuts are off while a dialog is open, a menu is open or a text field has the keyboard. Typing goes where you are looking.

Keyboard

Anywhere

Keys	Action
`Ctrl`+`Z`	Undo the last layout change
`Ctrl`+`Y`	Redo
`Ctrl`+`Shift`+`Z`	Redo
`Ctrl`+`S`	Save the layout
`Ctrl`+`K` or `Ctrl`+`Shift`+`P`	Command palette: find any action by name
`Ctrl`+`1` … `Ctrl`+`9`	Open saved layout 1 to 9, in the order of the layouts menu
`/`	Open the indicator dialog
`A`–`Z`	Start typing a ticker: symbol search opens with what you typed
`Esc`	Cancel the drawing in progress and go back to the crosshair
`F11`	Toggle fullscreen (desktop only)

Type-to-search reacts to letters only, and not while Ctrl or Alt is held.

Settings › Keyboard shortcuts lists the actions whose keys you can change: the command palette, save, undo and redo, new window, the order ticket, the account panel, the AI assistant, bar replay, the screener, a screenshot, a new alert, chart settings and every drawing tool. Click an action’s keys and press the new ones (with Ctrl, Alt and Shift as you like); Backspace leaves the action without keys, Esc keeps the old ones. Keys taken from another action leave it, and a notice says which. Reset brings back the default. Your keys sync with your other preferences.

Command palette

Ctrl+K (or Command palette in the Flowscope menu) lists every action by name: dialogs and panels, adding any pane, the presets, your saved layouts, every drawing tool and the settings, each with its shortcut where it has one. Type a few letters of any words in it (add foot, fib, replay); ↑ ↓ choose, Enter runs, Esc or a click outside closes.
