Am I imagining things, or did Ctrl-Enter work just fine for logging w/o
sending CW???
The thing I'm afraid of by making certain things (too) easy, by making it a
single-key function, is they are too easy to hit by mistake. A two-key combo
like Ctrl-XX or Alt-XX can be nearly as fast, if some care is taken to use
combinations that can be done with one hand, and yet is less error-prone.
I think Ctrl-Enter is a logical use for the log-no-cw function. It's easy to
remember, because it's a variation of Enter which logs and sends CW. And
it's easy to hit those keys together.
I think this is just growing pains from the change from Ctrl-\ to
Ctrl-Enter. Once again the key is to learn the program and not fight it.
Just my $.02
