EA hotkeys conflict with terminal

[Murilo Junqueira]

Hello, I'm using some shortcut keys to perform some actions via keyboard..

the problem that when I configure a hotkey that MT5 also uses.. it works but also activates the function

of MT5, for example the "SPACE" that activates a search box at the bottom of the chart.. my question is, how to "undo" the key

shortcut to the terminal.. that is, SPACE does not activate the terminal function.. I use the "OnChartEvent" event

Code example:

void CTradePanel::OnChartEvent(const int id,
                  const long &lparam,
                  const double &dparam,
                  const string &sparam)
{
  if(id==CHARTEVENT_KEYDOWN)
     {
      bool pKey = false;
      
      Print("Tecla pressionada: ", lparam);
      
      if(KEY_COMPRA == lparam) {
         BuyClick();
         pKey = true;
      }
     }
    ChartRedraw();         
    return;
}

Thanks!

I don't think you can. You will have to use a different shortcut key for your EA!
