Tnx to K0XU and W6IHG for their comments.
As far as Fkeys goes it is a nice application.
However, my requested change will benefit WL in a High qso rate RTTY SO2R
contest.
When you are trying to interleave QSOs on 2 radios you need to really
minimize your mouse and hand movement.
My requested change eliminates use of the keyboard while running stations in
SO2R or SO1R.
After hitting the left mouse button, I only have to press the Mouse wheel
switch to send the exchange.
I do not have to move the mouse from RttyView to the Fkey window. The mouse
does not have to move
Jerry, there is no sand trap because I am in 'Enter sends Exchange/QRZ"
MODE.
My Mouse wheel switch is mapped to the Enter key.
Pressing the wheel switch proceeds to send the message mapped to the
'SendCallExchangeKey' from the WL [Configuration].
This MODE auto-advances the cursor to the Received exchange field for
grabbing via the mouse.....
This request is not noise. I am only asking for an optional ini entry to
allow the 3 Enter key sequence to work in rtty.
You can continue to use WL the way you want but you won't be able to use the
3 Enter keys without this requested change.
