Hotkey for switching between currency pairs

Hello,

does anybody know a hotkey with which I can switch between my listed currency pairs?

I've attached what I mean.

Jass

and i don't mean alt + W. Actually, more a hotkey for switching to the chart window of the currency right/left to the current one.

You can just program it.

#define KEY_LEFT           37
#define KEY_RIGHT          39

  {
//--- the left mouse button has been pressed on the chart

     }

   if(id==CHARTEVENT_OBJECT_CLICK)
     {
      Print("The mouse has been clicked on the object with name '"+sparam+"'");
     }
//--- the key has been pressed
   if(id==CHARTEVENT_KEYDOWN)
     {
      switch(lparam)
        { 
         case KEY_LEFT:          Print("The KEY_LEFT has been pressed");           break;
         case KEY_RIGHT:         Print("The KEY_RIGHT has been pressed");          break;
         default:                Print("Some not listed key has been pressed");
        }
      ChartRedraw();
     }
//--- the object has been deleted
   if(id==CHARTEVENT_OBJECT_DELETE)
     {
      Print("The object with name ",sparam," has been deleted");
     }
//--- the object has been created
   if(id==CHARTEVENT_OBJECT_CREATE)
     {
      Print("The object with name ",sparam," has been created");
     }
//--- the object has been moved or its anchor point coordinates has been changed
   if(id==CHARTEVENT_OBJECT_DRAG)
     {
      Print("The anchor point coordinates of the object with name ",sparam," has been changed");
     }
//--- the text in the Edit of object has been changed
   if(id==CHARTEVENT_OBJECT_ENDEDIT)
     {
      Print("The text in the Edit field of the object with name ",sparam," has been changed");
     }
  }

If you add the chart id's and use something like 

CHART_BRING_TO_TOP

Property to raise the charts.
