Keyboard ShortCuts

[gsa]

Hi!

I am using BA Prof 1.43.1.

The keyboard shortcuts do work fine as long as your "active" in the BA window/program, but it stops working as soon as you are multitasking. So when you are clicking on another window/program, BA doesn't react on the hotkeys anymore. You have to click on BA again, to get it "listening" again. Is there any workaround to get that fixed?

Thanks

It was designed that way so you don't activate a hot key accidentally. Could be disasterous

I don't mean to be rude to someone with just 5 posts, but please explain how that would be useful?

We've had some decent threads over the years relating to fat fingers - bots that have gone wrong, or human error that results in a catastrophic trade

How can you possibly want to have Hot Keys in operation, but using your keys for another screen or program?

or in my case, could end making a profit accidently while emailing HMRC and hitting the keys in an *angry* fashion

You could achieve this by using HotKey and ensuring you always have Bet Angel opened as say your first program so that where the cursor would need to be moved to would always be the same to make Bet Angel the active program.

It would then always be in the same place on the task bar so you could then set up each BA shortcut using HotKey and proceed the Bet Angel function with an automatic click on Bet Angel in the task bar which would select Bet Angel and make it active and then fire the short cut key.

Then using Hotkey again to have completed the BA shortcut you could add in a bit to return the cursor to another predefined position if you so wish or back to the previous program using Ctrl+Tab.

There are threads on the forum discussing HotKey - just search for them.

It is developed in such a way that there is no resort for such kind of Probelm

if you have two instances of bet angel loaded how would you know which instance does shortcut apply to?
