Copy SYMBOL to Montage from any source FAST

[Alastair 114]

Traders Tech Tools (TTT):    Another tool for speeding up a traders process.  The tool can be used to copy and transfer a symbol from any source into a defined DAS montage.  Its developed using AutoHotKey with the editing tool being Scite4AutoHotKey.

This is version 1.0, next version will have Voice Recognition so the spoken word can be used to enter the symbol.

Any comments, feedback, criticisms are welcomed. Community enhancements are also welcomed. More TTT will be coming over the next months.

 /* NOTE: Mouse is configured to control 98% of all activity. Generally do not need my keyboard as it slows down the trading processes. Keyboard is only required to type alphanumeric characters, but with this quick copy/paste hotkey function that is eliminated for symbols. */
