Cntrl-\ in S&P mode

[Kennamer, Bill, K5FUV]

After my first semi-serious weekend with TR, I would like to have had a 
single key to take me from CQ to S&P and dump my call at the same time. The 
same key would toggle back to CQ and send the F1 message at the same time.

Full log edit from the running program would be nice.

After my experience this past weekend with TR 5.88, ctrl-\ needs to be
replaced
with a single key push to log without sending CW.  There were too many times
where I wanted to S&P a station (probably on the 2nd radio) and didn't want 
to
be bothered with looking at the screen, putting TR in the S&P mode, and
pressing "Enter" - I simply grabbed the paddle and dumped in my call. 
 Hitting
ctrl-\ (or Alt-K) was a pain in the neck !  Give me a single key push to do
the
same thing.
