Hotkeys for Drawing Tools with Preset Templates

I would like to suggest a feature that could significantly improve productivity when using ATAS, especially for active traders who rely heavily on fast and precise chart annotations.

Currently, ATAS offers powerful drawing tools and customization options. However, it is not possible to assign hotkeys that are linked not only to a drawing tool, but also to a predefined preset (template) of that tool, including color, line width, style, opacity, and other parameters.

My suggestion is to allow hotkeys to be mapped to: Drawing Tool + Preset / Template

Example use cases:

• Hotkey 1 → Trendline with orange color, specific width and style (e.g. higher timeframe level)

• Hotkey 2 → Trendline with red color and different style (e.g. intraday resistance)

• Hotkey 3 → Horizontal line preset for daily levels

• Hotkey 4 → Vertical line preset for session opens or news events

• Hotkey 5 → Rectangle preset for liquidity zones, imbalances or value areas

This would significantly reduce the number of clicks required during live market analysis and execution, allowing traders to react faster and maintain full focus on order flow and price behavior.

For traders using external controllers such as Elgato Stream Deck, this feature would be a complete game changer. Each button could be mapped to a specific drawing tool + preset combination, enabling instant and consistent marking of levels and zones with a single press.

When working with order flow tools, footprint charts, and fast markets, speed and consistency are critical. Having preset-based hotkeys for drawing tools would greatly enhance ATAS as a professional trading platform.

I believe this feature would be highly valuable for scalpers, day traders, and order flow traders who need to annotate charts quickly and accurately in real time.
