Keyboard shortcuts and gestures

Every keyboard shortcut, mouse action and touch gesture of the ChartRider chart – the same list as in the in-app help (F1).

Updated ·Markdown

The same list opens in the app with F1 (Help). Some entries only appear in the app once you are signed in or have unlocked a feature – they are marked here.

Mouse

ActionWhat it does
Scroll wheelZoom in and out around the cursor
DragMove through time – more history loads at the edges
Drag the price scaleStretch or compress the price axis; double-click it to fit the visible candles
HoverThe legend shows open, high, low, close and volume of the candle under the cursor

MeasureDraw → Measure: move the mouse to see the price change, % and number of candles, click to keep it, click again to clear.
TextDraw → Text writes at the candle you right-clicked; Enter starts a new line. The bar above sets color, size, opacity, regular / bold / italic and where it sticks: Candle – above the high or below the low, placed around candles and other texts automatically (in replay once its candle forms); Chart point – pinned to that time and price; Screen – fixed in the chart window, e.g. for captions. ✓ or a click outside keeps it, Esc discards, double-click edits, drag moves it.

ReplayPlay in the dock or Alt R replays the chart from its right edge: the candles rebuild tick by tick in time-lapse – slower and closer near your executions, liquidation wicks and big moves, faster through quiet stretches. Space pauses, + / − change the speed, H hides the bar for screen recording, Esc stops. With the key, a music track standing at 0:00 starts together with the replay. Needs a signed-in account.
Right-clickOpens the chart menu around the cursor – the cursor is the price and time it uses. Point at a group and click an entry, or hold the right button, flick towards the entry and let go. Groups with a dashed ring only appear when they apply.

Paper trading uses play money only. Nothing in these docs is investment advice.
