Make them yours
Section titled “Make them yours”Open Settings › Controls › Hotkeys & sizes (press ,) to choose:
- the quantity behind each size key, and which number key it uses
- how long a half-typed chord waits for you
- whether capital-letter commands work while Caps Lock is on (off by default, so a stray Caps Lock can’t send orders)
Fully remappable action keys are coming soon.
Chords
Section titled “Chords”After b or s an overlay shows the pending action and the sizes. It times out on its own, and Esc backs out at any time.
No price, no guess
Section titled “No price, no guess”If there’s no usable quote for the price mode you chose, TradeShell opens the manual-price dialog prefilled with the best price it has, instead of sending an order at a guessed price.
Click rows, buttons and footer keys; use the wheel on tables, the log or the page; drag scrollbars; drag across log lines to select and copy them. Copying works over SSH too.
