Keyboard Shortcuts

The Shortcuts Panel

Press ? anywhere on the desk to open a cheatsheet of every shortcut, and ? again or Esc to close it. The panel reads the same definitions the keys do, so it is always current. This page is the full reference.

Trading Hotkeys

The one-hand trading layer — letters on the left, numbers and Enter on the right. These fire only while the order ticket is on screen and you are not typing in a text field, so a key can never trade by accident: with the trade column folded away they do nothing, and on its Info tab the first key just brings the ticket back. A live order still takes a deliberate Enter after you have armed a side and size, and while an order is on its way a second Enter is ignored, so a double-press never sends it twice.

Good To Know

Trading keys are ignored while you are typing in any input, textarea, or the AI chat — so typing never triggers an action.
Keys combined with Ctrl, Cmd, or Alt are left to the browser and your OS; VYX only binds plain keys and Shift chords.
Tab keeps its normal browser behavior and is not bound to a trading action.
