The following keyboard shortcuts are used to manipulate the X and Y axis settings. Lowercase keys affect only the topmost investment. Uppercase keys affect all investments. The arrow/home/end/<number> keys only affect the topmost investment

(Ctrl/Shift) + →

Scrolls X axis to the right when holding down one or both of the Ctrl or Shift keys. Ctrl = 1 day, Shift = 1 week, Ctrl and Shift = 1 month

(Ctrl/Shift) + ←

Scrolls X axis to the left when holding down one or both of the Ctrl or Shift keys. Ctrl = 1 day, Shift = 1 week, Ctrl and Shift = 1 month

(Ctrl/Shift) + ↓

Scrolls Y axis down when holding down one or both of the Ctrl or Shift keys. Ctrl = 1 percent, Shift = 5 percent, Ctrl and Shift = 10 percent

(Ctrl/Shift) + ↑

Scrolls Y axis up when holding down one or both of the Ctrl or Shift keys. Ctrl = 1 percent, Shift = 5 percent, Ctrl and Shift = 10 percent

(Ctrl/Shift) + <number>

Set X axis to last <number> years/months to date. Ctrl = years, Shift = months. (Only the year shortcuts (Ctrl) work when using the number pad. Both Ctrl and Shift work when using the regular number keys.)
Advanced: The number of years for each Ctrl+<number> shortcut can be customized via registry options. Under the registry key "Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Beiley Software\Fund Manager\CurrentVersion\graphs" add a string value with a name of ctrlkey<number>. Set the string value to any number between 1 and 99 for how many years to use for this shortcut. For example, create a value with the name ctrlkey5 and assign it a value of 15 to have the Ctrl+5 keyboard shortcut be 15 years to date.

Home

Changes beginning of X axis to earliest recorded price

End

Changes ending of X axis to latest recorded price, on or before today's date

x or X

Revert X axis to full date history (earliest to date)

y or Y

Revert Y axis to auto-scale

r or R

Revert both X and Y axis to full date history and auto-scale

Scrolling and zooming the X or Y axis with the following commands can further be controlled by using either the '2' or '3' modifier shortcuts.  A modifier shortcut is a key pressed within 2 seconds prior to the desired keyboard shortcut.  When using the '2' modifier, the ending X axis date remains fixed for shortcuts controlling the X axis, and the maximum Y axis value remains fixed for shortcuts controlling the Y axis.  The '3' modifier is the same, but keeps fixed the starting X axis date and minimum Y axis value.  For example, pressing the '2' key and then pressing the 'd' key within 2 seconds will scroll only the beginning X axis date one day earlier, leaving the ending date un-changed.  Modifiers remain active for 2 seconds after any modified keyboard shortcut. So for example, if you want to scroll the beginning X axis date back 3 days, but leave the ending date un-changed you can press 2-d-d-d, which is the same as 2-d-2-d-2-d.  Each press of the 'd' character must be within 2 seconds of the prior character.  Modifiers do not apply to shortcuts that set specific date ranges, like 'q', which is "Set X axis to one quarter to date".
