I am a little confused by all the requests for a keystroke to put one's
keyboard focus back into the QSO Entry window. There is
a key for this: Ctl-P.
However, there are a few cases where Ctl-P doesn't do this task. The
bandmap is a notorious place to get stuck in, because the
bandmap runs as a separate application on the machine.
Personally, I am generally against the idea of timeouts causing the keyboard
focus to jump back to the QSO Entry window. There
are many reasons why someone might be in the middle of a task elsewhere (e.g.,
playing around with message contents, writing a note,
entering an annotation to a QSO), get interrupted by something else (a chance
to listen to a weak signal and start trying different
antennas, turning the rotator, etc), and then come back to the keyboard to
finish up that note, message, etc. A timeout can cause
whatever you were typing to be put in the wrong place... which then means you
must BOTH erase the bad stuff in the QSO Entry window
AND get back to the other window to finish up the previous task.
If Wayne wants to put it in, that's OK... as long as there is a way to turn
it off!
