I see how to enable Hotkeys but how does one configure a Hotkey? For example, how do I configure a Hotkey that will create a Limit order to Buy at Bid for for 2-lot /ES, with Sell stop 3 points below and sell limit exit 7 points above?

Or are Hotkey for very simple things, just replacing what a single mouse click would do?

I have not used Hotkeys previously, so I apologize if I misunderstand their intended use.

@MadCat I do not believe you read my question. Maybe MadCat is a bot? As I wrote, I see how to enable Hotkeys. That was not my question.
