[WT-support] Wanted: equivalent of CT -FO switch in Win-Test

[Bob Wilson, N6TV]

CT supported a command line switch "-FO":

-FO  AB6FO flag for single-operator, multi-transmitter use. Don't stop
transmitting when a key is struck while in repeat mode.


Which means that a repeating CQ could only be interrupted by pressing
Escape.

I can find no equivalent in Win-Test.  It is *very* useful, late in a
contest, when you are calling a lot of repeating CQs, and you want to dupe
check callsigns heard in the Sub Rx or Second radio, without interrupting
the repeating CQ, and without switching the window focus using the CapsLock
or Shift keys.

Would it be difficult to add this feature to Win-Test, perhaps as a new
checkbox option in the Automatic CQ
Repeat<http://docs.win-test.com/wiki/Menu:Tools#Automatic_CQ_repeat>dialog,
"Halt Auto CQ with Escape Key only".

I realize there are a lot of other feature requests that are more
important, but maybe this one would be pretty easy to implement, with
little risk of breaking anything.
