[WriteLog] Auto Spot

[Don Hill AA5AU]

For RTTY, I used to have F9 programmed as %B, but now I use the CALL button in the entry window programmed as %B.  To program the buttons in the Entry window, hold the SHIFT key while clicking on one of the buttons and it brings up a small window where you can enter a message.  After the message is entered, just hit Enter and it will save the message and close the window.  Remember to do a Save Configuration and Save File after adding a message.

Using the buttons in the Entry Window as messages can be seen here:

I tried out the MapCallOnSpace=1 parameter in the [Entry] area of writelog.ini and it works great if you manually type a callsign into the CALL field and then hit the SPACE bar, but in my setup (10.83E), when I mouse click on a callsign in the RTTYRITE window, it populates the CALL field and then jumps to the next field. Hitting SPACE then just moves to the next field on the ENTRY window and does not put the call into the bandmap. If you TAB back to the CALL field and then hit SPACE, it will populate the bandmap, but that is cumbersome. Not sure if I have something else set in the ini file to force the jump to next field when clicking on a call, but I don't see anything in the docs that describes that function. This also may be affected by a later update to WriteLog than what I am running. For now, I will continue to use the (195) command in a macro to populate the BandMap from the Entry Window. I use the FKEYS program with WriteLog, so I just label a button as Map-It.
