Hidden Keyboard Shortcut: Spacebar to Switch 3D Optimization Graph to Histogram in MT5 Strategy Tester

 

Cool Discovery: Press Spacebar to Toggle 3D Optimization Graph to Bar/Histogram View in MT5!

Hi everyone, While cleaning my keyboard during an optimization run in Strategy Tester, I accidentally discovered that pressing the Spacebar switches the 3D graph from surface to a bar-like view (like histogram bars connected to the peaks).

Here's how:

1. Start optimization with 2+ parameters.

2. Open Graph > View > 3D.

3. Press Spacebar.

Works in build 5320+. Has anyone else noticed this? It's not in the docs!

 
SA602245sa:
The spacebar works because the 3D viewer has an internal toggle between surface and bar rendering.

This behavior is reproducible in recent builds, although it is not mentioned in the official documentation. The reason for that is not published, so we can only confirm that it is an undocumented shortcut, not an officially described feature.
