Default Can I use format painter (or F4) in a chart?

For example, I want to change the colour of the chart, the background and the
legend on several charts - all to one new colour. Is there a quick way to
copy a format, like a colour or a font type/size?

I have found a workaround to my own problem, it works fairly well. I used the
arrow keys to move between chart elements and when the one I wanted was
selected I could click on the fill colour quite quickly. Not as good as
format painter but will do for now!
