Hotkeys Tool

Description

This is a sample cBot that shows how you can use cTrader Automate API hotkeys feature to add hotkeys on your cBots/indicators.
With this cBot you can execute all kinds of trading operations and draw chart objects by using hotkeys.
Features
You can set the hotkey for each action
You can use modifier keys with each hotkey like Alt, Ctrl, and Shift
It shows all your defined hotkeys on a table in your chart
This cBot code is open source and you can contribute on Github: spotware/hotkeys-tool: A sample cBot that shows how to handle keyboard/mouse events on cTrader Automate API (github.com)
