Keep Option Chain prices window always centered at current price

The way I trade, I always detach the Options Chain window so that I can place it on the workspace at my preferred screen location.
Afterward, I drop down the expiry date that I want to trade in -- to see the Option Chain pricing.

However, even though the prices are centered when I begin using the Option Chain window initially, as the day moves on so do the prices and the current price moves up or down and I lose in my view my center point between the calls and puts on the sides of the median. This means I have to manually again select the drop-down for the number of strikes and then select a new number of strikes before the options prices are re-drawn and centered as I like to see them.

Question: Is there a ThinkorSwim Setting that I can use to ensure that the Options Chain Window always stays centered at the current price with the ITM and OTM above and below like when I first use the drop-down method to select the number of strikes.

Thinkscript does not provide us any means of modifying the platform-controlled elements or any ThinkOrSwim modules...
