How to use WASD shortcuts in TradingView
You can use WASD shortcuts in TradingView by enabling the extension's gamer-style key mappings, where lowercase keys navigate symbols and intervals without relying on the mouse. This setup is built for fast scanning workflows and helps keep your hands on the keyboard while reviewing multiple charts. For reliable behavior, use lowercase keys and keep the extension active in your TradingView tab.

How to do it
1. Enable WASD-related shortcuts
Open the extension popup and enable the shortcuts that map lowercase WASD keys to navigation actions.
2. Apply lowercase usage
Use lowercase key presses for expected behavior, because uppercase input may not trigger the same mappings.
3. Practice chart movement
Test symbol and interval movement on your watchlist and favorite timeframes until the flow feels natural.
4. Combine with custom remaps
Add custom key remaps if you want alternative layouts that match your hand positioning and strategy.
Troubleshooting
- If WASD is inconsistent, confirm Caps Lock is off and you are sending lowercase keystrokes.
- If keys conflict with other tools, remove overlapping browser or extension hotkeys.
- Refresh TradingView after changing shortcut toggles so the latest mapping state is applied.
