You guys are serious about this...
I am not sure shift-page-up or shift-page-down are the best choices,
since pressing the shift key activates the QSY or RIT functions for
some people.
Probably the best choice would be a function-key message command
that allows you to change your code speed in either incremental
or absolute terms.
So, there will be a new CW MESSAGE command called SPEED in the next
version (I just added it). You can do SPEED## where ## indicates
your CW speed, or SPEED+ to increment you CW speed by 1 WPM, or
SPEED- to decrement by one WPM. You can have more than one plus
or minus if you want the increment to be more.
CW MESSAGE commands work by putting them in a function key message
with a control-C in front of them and a control-d after them. You
can program control charaters while using the Alt-P command by
pressing first control-P and then control-c (or d). They are covered
in the manual (section 4). There are now about a dozen different
commands.
By putting messages like SPPED+ in your CQ EXCHANGE and SPEED25 in
your CQ MESSAGE, you should be able to get the "increasing speed"
effect mentioned earlier.
