I am looking for an alternative to the function of the home key to scroll to the first historic bar on the mt4 chart. I am on a mac and for some reason the usual FN+left does not function as a homekey in mt4. I have been looking online and going through the menu's in mt4 to no avail. The only way i can find is to use the shortcut, but that doesnt help me much as i dont have that key on my mac keyboard:( Any ideas?

Do you have a numbers pad? Can you take off the Num Lock and hit 7?
Or shift 7?

Assign this script to any key you want:
#include <VirtualKeys.mqh> #import "user32.dll" void keybd_event(int bVk, int bScan, int dwFlags, int dwExtraInfo); #import void OnStart() { keybd_event(VK_HOME,0,0,0); keybd_event(VK_HOME,0,0x0002,0); }
1. open your "keyboard on screen"
2. disable scroll & shift chart (the two buttons at top bar in MT4)
3. click at the chart on MT4 and click home button on "keyboard on screen". You need to click many times till the chart load all candles.
