As DL6RAI and DL5AXX have explained, there are text commands to toggle
AutoCQ ON and OFF, as well as RPTDELAY, which adjusts the delay between CQs,
all of which you can do without touching the mouse:

RPTDELAY [Enter] to bring up the dialog
Press [Up] or [Down] keys to adjust delay
Press [Enter] to close dialog

There is no need to dig into the manual to discover these quick text command
shortcuts.  Just make sure:

Help | Display Text Command Tips for Menu Items


is CHECKED.  Then, when you hover the mouse pointer for at least two seconds
over a menu item like Tools | Automatic CQ Repeat, Win-Test will display the
equivalent text commands in a "tool tip" pop-up window.

Finally, if you want a single keystroke Alt-1 to turn repeating CQ ON or,
and Alt-2 to turn repeating CQ OFF, just write a couple of two line LUA
scripts to issue the text commands:

RPTON.wts:  (Assign to Alt-1)

wtApp:TextCommand("RPT")
return -1


RPTOFF.wts:  (Assign to Alt-2)

wtApp:TextCommand("NORPT")
return -1
