Disable search function when entering text on a chart

[akuntysh]

Hello,


I am trying to add an input text box on a chart which will be used in a ninjascript strategy, however when I am trying to input a text in the added text box, an automatic search tool appears not allowing me to input anything into the box. Is there a way that I can turn off this search tool from appearing?

Hello akuntysh,

Thank you for your post.

Glad to assist. To add text, try using the right click > Text drawing tool instead.

Likely what is coming up is the chart Overlay Selector which cannot be disabled. This can be used to change chart instruments, intervals or types. See the below section of our help guide for more.

See "Changing and Adding Instruments and Intervals with the Keyboard"

Hello Eric,


Thank you for your answer! I will consider using the Text drawing tool instead.

Hello,

Thank you all for your notes.

There is no means to override the chart's Instrument Selector that pops up when typing on the chart.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Well you guys do this after 4 years. It's not that hard to make a checkbox in settings.
