Manage Hotkeys in NinjaScript?

[jeronymite]

I would like to be able to do the following for hotkeys in a NinjaScript AddOn:

• Find all hotkeys and what they are assigned to and their hotkey category
• Assign/deassign a hotkey
• Create/populate/destroy a new (non-system) category of hotkeys
• Assign/deassign hotkeys for existing AddOns

Are there any examples of these capabilities available in NinjaScript?

Thanks!

Hello jeronymite,

Currently there is no way to manage the existing hotkeys, there is a feature request for this which I have added your vote for SFT-2669.

If you wanted to add key controls to something you are doing you can use the PreviewKey events (WPF concept) from the target control for that purpose. You can search the forum for PreviewKeyDown or PreviewKeyUp for some examples, this is also something you can just search for online in contrast to WPF to better understand how to use keyboard events.

I look forward to being of further assistance.

Thanks, Jesse. Whilst I am looking for the NinjaScript functionality (thanks for adding my vote to the feature request), it is also desirable to have the ability to assign/deassign hotkeys to existing AddOns in the NT UI. Thanks again!

I would like to be able to Find all hotkeys and what they are assigned to and their hotkey category. Thanks!

Recently added several hotkeys to several projects and needed a way to check for conflicts..
Code below will print a list of all available hotkeys (assigned or not) to output window (1)

foreach(var v in NinjaTrader.Gui.HotKeys.HotKeysManager.AllHotKeys)
{
     Print("-----------------------------"); 
     Print(v.GetType().ToString()); 
     Print("-----------------------------"); 
     var vSplit = v.ToString().Split(new [] { ' ' });
     foreach(string s in vSplit) Print(s);
}
Print("-----------------------------");
