So, just to clarify, once you change the settings described above, you should go to 'Setup', 'Hotkey/Script', 'Hotkey'. Then at the bottom select 'Add New Item'. Then if I want to add an alert on the chart I would enter a name then the script
to be honest the syntax has changed meanwhile so i need to edit the hotkey but yes that is the way it used to work.

Alertname=PriceReached;AlertType=LastPricelAlertOperator=”<=”;AddAlert
and assign the Hotkey?
Do I then just click on the chart and press the hotkey to trigger the alert?
I know it's a super basic question but I feel like I'm fumbling my way through this.
