Question about the Instrument Overlay Selector - how to turn off this feature?

[trendisyourfriend]

Instant instrument switching has been added to all trading and trade-analysis windows, significantly reducing the time it takes to switch an interface from one market to the next. As soon as i begin to type this window opens. I'd like to be able to turn off this feature so that i can detect certain keys which are pressed to set certain behaviors with Ninjascript. Is this possible?

Hello trendisyourfriend,

You can find a sample of working with key events in the following post:

I look forward to being of further assistance.

hello arent we trying to disable overlay instrument selector, yes that's what what were trying to do.
How does drawing an enormous text box in the middle of the screen to type in have anything to d with disabling instrument selector.

When I press AAa of + the instrument selector pops up, I want it to do: nothing.
i don't want it to do anything at all, if I press a, I want nothing to happen on the chart unless I assign a handler, well
Is this possible?

alright so the key here is to use:
e.Handled = true;
in your handler for anybody else that comes across this
idk what jesse and them are messing with....
