I hadn't been following this thread well lately... BUT,
"just right clicking and choosing Add to Bandmap" isn't nearly as
efficient as it ought to be. Taking my hands out of the keyboarders
position to grab the mouse - SLOWS DOWN RATE.
In the best case scenario, the norms should be:
keep mouth behind microphone (or not if running CW - in which case mouth
does nothing)
fingers on keyboard (for logging or sending CW)
foot on switch throughout the contest.
Adding a station to the bandmap should be one of those features that
should not require any deviation from those norms.

1. This already exists. Just enter %B in one of the macro slots. Then
enter the desired callsign in the ENTRY area and hit the macro key.
However, typing the callsign and hitting the key to put it on the
bandmap seems a lot more difficult (e.g. 7 keystrokes for a 6-character
callsign, then alt-w to clear the callsign from the entry area) than
just right-clicking and choosing Add To Bandmap. It would be even
easier if %B would add the last highlighted callsign - For all I know,
it might do that now, I just haven't tried it!
