Custom Annotation Hotkeys
A numerical value is sequentially assigned to the first ten custom annotations you create on the charts. For example, if your first custom annotation is Vertical Line, it will be automatically assigned a numerical value- “1” and if your second custom annotation is Horizontal Line, it will be automatically assigned a numerical value- “2”, and so on.
To trigger the hotkeys for these custom annotations, you will need to press Alt+(X) for Windows and Option+(X) for Mac, where X represents the numerical value assigned to your custom annotation. Hence, referring to the above example, you can draw a Vertical Line by using the hotkey Alt+1 for Windows and Option+1 for Mac.
