Automatically Set Newly Opened Instrument as the Active Chart

Post by euclides.francisco » Tue Dec 02, 2025 9:33 pm

Hi Bookmap Team,
 I would like to suggest a feature that would greatly improve workflow efficiency for active traders. Currently, when a new instrument is opened in Bookmap, it does not automatically become the active chart. This requires an additional manual click to activate the instrument before interacting with it or using keyboard shortcuts, which slows down fast-paced trading workflows.
 My suggestion is to add an option that allows Bookmap to:
  1. Automatically set any newly opened instrument as the active chart, or
  2. Provide a user setting to choose whether new instruments should become active by default.
This small improvement would streamline chart management, reduce missed inputs, and improve overall user experience—especially for traders working with multiple monitors and fast execution environments.
 Thank you for considering this request!
