Hotkey Example

from lightweight_charts import Chart

def place_buy_order(key):
    print(f'Buy {key} shares.')


def place_sell_order(key):
    print(f'Sell all shares, because I pressed {key}.')


if __name__ == '__main__':

    chart.hotkey('shift', (1, 2, 3), place_buy_order)
    chart.hotkey('shift', 'X', place_sell_order)
    chart.show(block=True)
