Tip: quickly see shortcuts in the TradingView app
There are two ways to quickly see TradingView shortcuts. The first approach is

shows in the pop-up window. For instance, Alt + A is the hotkey for the
‘Create Alert’ window:
To see an overview of all TradingView shortcuts, click on the ‘?’ icon in the
lower-right bottom in the TradingView app. That opens a menu with an entry
named ‘Keyboard Shortcuts’:
