[WT-support] KC1XX turns down win-test

Hi,

> - Bug report 159. Control of radio frequency when operating split

I guess this will be fixed soon.

Why not use Ctrl-Up/Down?
ok, the major backdraw in using Ctrl-Up/Ctrl-Down is that with
Ctrl-Up/Down you must switch through all spots, so you cannot keep
listening to your run frequency.

hm... I guess this could be quite handy, but also I love that in
win-test it is nearly impossible to loose focus on the qso edit mask.

Olivier, could it be implemented like this:
Cntrl-Right/Alt-Right: set "semi focus" into the "BandMap" (if set to "list")
and "Dx Spots"?
Now let me explain what I mean with "semi focus":
1) the bandmap/spot window should change color - so that it is clear
   which window has focus
2) all keys but "cursor up/down, page up/down, enter" return focus
   back to the normal qso edit line.

only disadvantage here is that with focus in bandmap/spot window the
return key won't log the qso but change the VFO.

totally agreed.

would be very much appreciated.

I guess this will be fixed.

thanks all!

there is no better place in the net :)
