Is there a way to pass an order into TOS besides using a mouse to click on the "paste order from clipboard" icon? Even being able to access that button via keystrokes would be an improvement. I'm specifically looking to place the order in TOS, not using some trading software to send orders directly to TDA.

Solution
Cut&Paste is the only option.Apologies, let me be more clear. I am 'creating' orders in a spreadsheet. Order takes the form of: BUY +1 BUTTERFLY AMZN 100 17 Dec 21 3390/3400/3410 CALL @.20 LMT
I can manually copy the order from spreadsheet and paste into TOS using the "Paste order from clipboard" button in TOS Order Entry field. Screenshot below:
So my manual steps are select spreadsheet cell with order, CTRL+c, switch to TOS Main window, click on "Paste order from clipboard" button.
Is there a faster way to pass this order into TOS? I specifically want to pass the order into TOS and not get into using TDA's API.
I take it you don't want the easy answer "ctrl-c"? There are a dozen ways to place orders into ToS from Active Trader to Bracket Orders.
You will need to provide more information and screenshots before anyone will be able to help you further.
Unsure of how to upload screenshots to the forum https://usethinkscript.com/threads/how-to-insert-image-in-a-post-thread.277/
