21 Aug 2024, 10:43


Hi, i am struggling to type [] and {} inside cTrader.

usually standard = option + 5 / 6 and option + 8 / 9, but inside cTrader it just doen't work.

What do i do wrong?

best regards!

ok i'll buy windows then…

jokes aside - i can type via option+5 in the search bar for the indicators without any problems.

just INSIDE the Code-area it is not available. i also checked for some hotkey assignments in the settings. option+5 was assigned → i changed it, but no impact

Hi there,

What keyboard layout do you use?

Best regards,

It will be solved in an upcoming update. In the meanwhile, try using an English layout when typing code
