Detached chart windows
A footprint page can be moved out of the main window into a separate native window, with its own title bar, F11 fullscreen and toolbar, while market subscriptions stay owned by the main window.

What it does
Each footprint page of the workspace can live either inside the main window or in a separate native window. The “New window” button creates a fresh page seeded from the selected pane (same source, symbol, exchange, timeframe and group) and opens it directly in a new window. “Detach selected chart” extracts the selected pane into a page of its own and opens that page in a window; the remaining panes of the original page re-flow to a smaller layout. “Detach grid” moves the whole current page, with all its panes, into a window, and the main window then shows “Page open in a separate window.” with two buttons: Show window and Bring back here.
Detached windows are created without the operating-system title bar. Senzoukria draws its own secondary title bar — the same one the other secondary windows use, labelled Footprint — with the window controls, and adds resize handles on the edges. F11 toggles fullscreen for the window that has keyboard focus. If the window does not respond within 15 seconds the workspace reports “The window is not responding.”; a chart frame that has not mounted after 15 seconds shows “The chart could not start.” with a “Retry this chart” button.
Detached windows do not open their own market connections. Every pane, wherever it is displayed, sends its subscribe and unsubscribe requests to a single coordinator in the main window. That coordinator keeps one lease per source, exchange and symbol, counts which panes use it and only unsubscribes when the last pane releases it. A subscription that already existed before any pane asked for it (for example one started by the DOM or the heatmap) is marked external and is never closed by a pane.
Settings
| Control | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| New window | Enabled below 16 pages | Creates a page seeded from the selected pane and opens it in a separate window. The main window keeps its current page. |
| Detach selected chart | Enabled below 16 pages | Moves the selected pane into a new page and opens it in a window. The source page keeps the other panes. |
| Detach grid | Main window only | Opens the whole current page in a window; the main window shows a placeholder until the window is closed. |
| Move chart to | Choose… | Moves the selected pane to another page that has fewer than four panes. |
| Saved windows and layouts → name | “Footprint”, “Footprint N”, or the symbol | The first page is “Footprint”; a page created by New window is “Footprint N”; a page extracted from a pane takes that pane’s symbol. Click to activate the page or show its window; ✎ renames it (48 characters maximum); × closes it (the last page cannot be closed). |
| Show window / Bring back here | — | Shown on a page that is detached: focus the window, or close it and display the page in the main window again. |
How to use it
Select the pane you want on a second monitor, open “Charts ▾” and click “Detach selected chart”. Drag the new window to the other screen and press F11 if you want it fullscreen. To bring the page back, open the same menu in the main window, expand “Saved windows and layouts” and close the page, or use “Bring back here” on the placeholder. Renaming pages helps when several windows show the same product on different timeframes.
A detached window mirrors the account and connection events of the main window, so the connection status shown in the chart is the same everywhere. The detached window itself cannot sign in: if the main window is signed out, it shows “Sign in in the main window to open charts.”
Limits or pitfalls
- A detached window owns no market connection of its own: it routes every subscribe through the coordinator in the main window, so it depends on that window staying open.
- Detached windows reuse the same window when you click Show window; a page is never opened twice.
- Charts inside a window run in their own JavaScript realm: keyboard focus, drawings and settings are per pane, and a shortcut only reaches the chart that has focus.
- The 16-page limit counts detached windows and pages still docked in the main window.
- An error while opening or closing a window is displayed in the workspace as “Could not open: …” or “Could not close: …”; dismiss it with ×.

Frequently asked questions
- Does a detached window open a second connection to Rithmic or Binance?
- No. All panes route their subscribe requests through one coordinator in the main window, which keeps a single lease per symbol and unsubscribes only when the last pane using it is released.
- Why does my new window show “Sign in in the main window to open charts.”?
- Detached windows read the session from the main window and cannot sign in by themselves. Sign in in the main window, then reopen the page from “Saved windows and layouts”.
- Can I move a single pane out of a four-chart page?
- Yes. Select it and use “Detach selected chart”. The original page re-flows to three panes and the detached pane opens in its own window.
