# How to set up shortcuts (hotkeys) in the application?

Shortcuts are helping traders to operate faster in the application! We have split hotkeys into 3 categories

* **Workspace** - operations that are related to the application
* **Trading** - all possible trading operations
* **Chart** - standard shortcuts that are defined by TradingView

{% hint style="info" %}
To modify the shortcut, you have to click on it and press a combination or a single key. 
{% endhint %}

* If you changed your mind and do not want to change the current shortcut, just click somewhere outside the current view. 
* If you want to disable a shortcut, just remove the checkmark.
* If the checkmark is disabled it means that this is the system shortcut that cannot be changed. 

{% hint style="warning" %}
If your shortcut doesn't work, it might be used by the chart or system itself. 

**Example**: command+c will not be working, because it's used by the system.
{% endhint %}
