I'm trying to make a set of simple scripts to tweak chart options in MetaTrader. Most notably, I want to make scripts that let me change the timeframe, chart type (line/candle), and switch between open charts quickly without using the mouse. Basically I want to remap MT's hotkeys with scripts, since as far as I can tell thats the only way to do it, and theres probably some other script-based functionality of use that I could add in for speeding up a mostly manual trading system.
Oddly, I can't figure out how to change those settings. Its been a while, but I do have a C++ background, went straight to the API reference, and so on.. But I can't figure out how to change chart timeframe or style. I can probably figure out the details if someone could point me in the right direction.
Alternately, if there is a straightforward way of remapping MT hotkeys, that would be great too. Its entirely possible that I've missed something obvious.
