Is there any way to cause a script to run when a particular function key is pressed like F9?

thanks in advance

Hi milfordT,

Did you meant something like hotkey ? Open MT5/MT4 > Open Navigator (Ctrl + N) > right click select "Set hotkey".

Hi thanks for that.

It seems I can create CTRL- and ALT hot keys but is there a way to turn one of the function keys into a hot key? Would like to avoid having to hold down CTRL or ALT to access script.

Calling a script from mt5 changing instrument 'Close all'/'Open' tools

Hi milfordT,

Nope, they hardcoded reserved for MT :(
