[WriteLog] F11 Not Wiping

[Gary AL9A]

Art,

I never knew F11 could be used to wipe out the Entry window.  I've always 
used it for sending a macro message, either CW, RTTY or SSB.  No worries 
though, you can fix it yourself.  Just create a keyboard shortcut and assign 
F11 to clear the Entry window.

Go to Setup/Keyboard Shortcuts.. to open the Keyboard Shortcuts window. 
Before changing anything scroll down the list of existing keyboard shortcuts 
to the list of F keys and see if F11 is assigned to some action.  If it is 
and you want to give up that function, whatever it is, just left click on 
the F11 row and then click on Remove.  The F11 key is now available for 
another action.

Now click on the "Next key pressed" button and then press the F11 key.  In 
the "Command to run" drop box click on the down arrow to show the list of WL 
built in commands.  Scroll down the list until you get to EntryClear.  Click 
on this command and then the "Add Shortcut" button.  Now click on the OK 
button.  Now test out the F11 key function by entering something in the CALL 
field and then press F11.  It should clear the Entry window as you are used 
to.  If it works do a Setup/Save Configuration.. to save the modified 
keyboard shortcuts to your writelog.ini file.  Now whenever you start WL the 
F11 key will perform as you expect.

I haven’t used WriteLog since the ARRL DX CW contest last February.  Tonight 
I began to set up for the upcoming ARRL 160 CW contest next weekend and 
found that F11 no longer wipes the Entry Window!  What happened, and how can 
I get that function back?  I run low power, and most of my contest QSO’s are 
via S&P.  Often when scanning the bands, I enter a partial call in the Entry 
Window before I realize I had already worked that station.  During the 
course of a weekend contest, I am sure I do that a couple of hundred times. 
I have NEVER used  CTRL + W (or similar?) to wipe the Entry Window in the 15 
years I have been using WriteLog, since using one finger is much quicker and 
efficient than using two.  This software improvement (?) is a HUGE loss to 
me.  What will it take to get the F11 Wipe Function back?
