In the Alpha release of Win-Test they distributed ESM.WTS (a Lua script you
put in the Application-Data\Win-Test\scripts directory).  Inside it had a
function:

function sendExchangeAgain()
    if (wtQso:IsModePhone()) then
        wtApp:SendFKey("F2");
    else
        wtKeyer:Play("$F5 $F7"); -- $LOGGED ?
    end;
end;

Which seems rather odd.  So I changed it to

function sendExchangeAgain()
    wtApp:SendFKey("F2");
end;

and now ESM resends the exchange as you wish.  Once ESM.WTS is officially
released, I think you'll be able to customize ESM mode to a great extent
with very minor changes.

FYI, if someone wants the cursor to move when you press [Enter], add the
mesage variable $SPACEBAR to your [Insert] message.
