Navigate with the keyboard and command palette

Find a command#

Open the command palette with ⌘K on macOS or Ctrl+K on Windows. Search by the command's visible title or keywords, inspect its destination and select the result. Disabled commands retain a reason rather than becoming silently available. A command that needs a connected API or native window support remains subject to that requirement.

The palette and rail solve different tasks: the palette searches commands, while the rail groups canvas items and app screens. Right-click a rail entry when you need to choose explicitly between adding an item, replacing current content, opening a tab and opening a window.

Inspect your current bindings#

Open Settings → Keyboard shortcuts, the shortcut-manager item in the gear menu, or ⌘⌥K / Ctrl+Alt+K. Use the manager's actual current bindings as the authority, because users can change them and browser builds reserve different chords.

Do not substitute a browser's Close Tab command for an AMM workspace command. The app exposes suggestions for some unassigned actions rather than automatically binding them. The browser uses alternate defaults where it owns native tab/window shortcuts.

Change a shortcut#

1. Find the command in the shortcut manager.
2. Activate its binding editor and enter the desired chord.
3. Review conflicts, reserved chords and platform availability.
4. Save the supported binding and test it with the intended chart or panel focused.
5. Use the row reset to restore a default. Use Reset all only when you intend to reset the complete binding set; the app backs up the prior shortcut map.

Portable primary modifiers map Command on macOS to Control on Windows. Bare printable keys are rejected as global shortcuts so typing a symbol or order quantity does not unexpectedly invoke a global command. Undo/history chords are reserved. The chart's history includes drawing changes; inspect the chart-navigation guide rather than treating every undo as a global settings undo.

Keep focus visible#

Use Tab and Shift+Tab to move through controls. F6 moves among shell focus regions. In Settings, arrow keys move through section navigation; Tab moves into rows. Esc clears a Settings search first, then closes the screen on the next press.

A keyboard action operates on its resolved focused/active context. Before an order, close or reverse command, inspect the selected account and position. Keyboard access does not remove LIVE confirmations or manual-override requirements.

For chart context menus, use the supported keyboard menu action when the chart/toolbar has focus, including Shift+F10 where exposed. Read menu labels rather than relying on a remembered coordinate or index.

Native desktop and browser differences#

Windows and macOS support native multi-window workflows. A browser page has a single AMM window and different reserved chords. Native-only window commands are unavailable there. A responsive documentation page on your phone is the full guide library; it does not imply a separate mobile trading application.

If a chord does nothing, check focus, customized bindings, the platform's reserved shortcuts and whether the command is available in that build. Operating-system shortcuts can intercept input before AMM receives it. Rebind the command rather than repeatedly pressing a trading shortcut without knowing its target.

Export app settings to preserve portable shortcut overrides. Named workspace exports preserve workspace state, which is a different object from the global shortcut map.
