  5. Click Apply, then click Close.

Example: If you choose Cancel Order in Possible Actions, Bid Size in Market Data Field, and Left Click as the Click Event, when you use your mouse to left click in the Bid Size column you will cancel the order. Note that you must have the appropriate field displayed to use this mouse shortcut! To hide and display fields, use the Layout Manager.

Note:  Mouse shortcuts will override default mouse actions. To return to default mouse action, you must re-set the action as a shortcut in the Hot Keys and Mouse Shortcuts box.

Customize Hotkeys

After you map a hot key, use options on the Customize tab to make your hot key action more specific.
