How to Use Keyboard Shortcuts & Tooltips

Overview

The Shortcut & Tooltip System in FX Replay speeds up your workflow by making every action just one keystroke away.

From placing orders to navigating sessions, shortcuts let you move instantly. Tooltips show you what each button does — so you’re never left guessing.

⚡ Why Shortcuts & Tooltips Matter

Backtesting can be time-consuming and repetitive. The shortcut system is built to help you:

• Stay in flow without constant clicking.
• Save time by executing faster.
• Learn the platform quickly with in-app tooltips.

Before Shortcuts & Tooltips

• You had to click through multiple menus.
• Some tools had no tooltip or shortcut at all.
• There was no in-app reference for shortcuts.

After Shortcuts & Tooltips

• Every tool shows its function when you hover.
• A full list of shortcuts is always available.
• You can place trades, toggle tools, and switch sessions instantly.

👉 Whether you’re a new trader or a power user, shortcuts give you a real execution edge.
