【Definitive Edition】An incredibly convenient MT4 shortcut keys list!

Do you know that there are convenient shortcut keys (MT4 calls them "hotkeys") that can make operating MT4 smoother?

You can open EA properties and even the order-entry screen using only the keyboard!

Of course you can operate MT4 with the mouse without using shortcut keys, but once you memorize them, they shorten your workflow and are very handy.
