Re: [Tlf-devel] Quick change CW <> SSB -- which key to use?

[Thomas Beierlein]

Thanks to all of you for your feedback.

So let me try to summarize your answers:

- There seems to be no common feeling, that this functionality is
  important,

- Martin suggested to look for the 'important' things first.

- German keyboard should not be the base for decisions (THat was why I
  asked). The common reference should be american layout.

- Ctrl-Fx and Alt-Fx keys do not work reliable on Linux/Unix. So try to
  avoid them.

- A configurable key could be used. (That seems to be a decision which
  should be made for the whole program and all keys. It will be a lot
  of work.)

So I think the way to go should be:

1. Collect informations which functionality is used most "during"
   the contest. Which of these is difficult to use and should be
   changed.

2. Decide later on what and how to change.
