Is there a way to move a chart from one workspace to another workspace?

KhaosTrader,

with "Copy Window" and "Paste Window" you can at least copy the chart to the second workspace and delete it in the first workspace. I am not sure if there is anything to simply move it. But copy and paste works fine.

Regards,

In the MC main window under "File".
Or "Ctrl + Shift + C" for copy and "Ctrl + Shift + V" for paste.

The above methods work, as you've discovered.

IMO, a simple and helpful addition would be to put 'Copy Chart' and 'Paste Chart' in the right-click context menu for charts. Personally, I find that to be the fastest, simplest interface for this sort of operation, and I wish MC would add it.

Basic fast UI principle is to allow users to "accomplish operation without leaving the keyboard" or to "accomplish operation using only the mouse", AS THE USER WISHES.
