2. Select Chart Windowin my case, if I have something like 50 instruments on market watch, it is not so easy find It; forex pairs is possible just type name of currency on chart(
I think the problem is because of dots and dashes in instrument's name.
Although could be settings as some symbols need caps matching and others don't.
You can find the instrument in MW by random click on it (not in the insert field) and typing.
Most likely, the problem is in the keyboard layout or typed characters.
Do you use the English keyboard layout?
Try to copy-paste it from somewhere.
Is posible organize this by alphabetical order?
you gonna have to do that manually, by selecting a symbole, then hold your Ctrl key + either the up or down arrow.
I've tried other layouts, didn't work. Probably terminal interprets the dot as a separator. In MW when you type dge auto-complete highlights the whole name, whey you type the dot highlight disappears.
I've had an issue with layout metaeditor not recognizing a single and double quote. It worked properly with copy-paste or changing layout.
A workaround is to make a custom symbol equivalent to the untypeable, but is probably not worth it. Writing to Service Desk might be a better option.
