Actually, it is already implemented ;-)

It just works.

IIRC, it never worked like you're describing, but :

1/ FYI, the sub vfo stuff does work only on the FT1000 series.
2/ If a double click would load your sub VFO, how would you grab the 
spot in the current VFO ? A single click only is too dangerous because 
you can click a spot inadvertanly to "activate" this wnd. Maybe an 
optional key with a double click ? Noted...
