[SD-User] Instant wpm slowdown.

Yes, the semicolon instant QRS is with Winkey (not controlled with pot). I
build my Winkeys without pot so that is the only thing I tested. Have not
tried it with internal.

As SD has more memory keys than normally needed, and they are so easy to
program, you could even put a couple of not used function keys to be QRS
programmed (#-9) into memory for a basic exchange. Really, who needs a
question mark on a programmed key? :-)

The help file says ; = Instant QRS
I never tried it before, but it works
30 wpm drops to 21. Another handy feature!
