Gee, if WL could be made mode aware then the same keystroke which sends 
your exchange (S&P) or TU QRZ? (Run) could also log the Q.  I've lost 
lots of Qs by forgetting to hit ENTER after the Q is done.  Doesn't seem 
to be any way around the problem if program doesn't know what mode 
you're in.  With a mode aware program this operator error doesn't happen 
and you save a keystroke on every Q.  Let's see, 1800 Qs means you would 
save 1800 thumps of the ENTER key.

How about a key to toggle between S&P and Run modes?

Sure would be nice if this could be done.
