[DXLog.net - Support] S&P is NOT working in ESM mode

[9A5K]

Hi all.


We can add both, $CTRLPLUS which will emulate CTRL+PLUS keystroke, and
$LOGQSO which will save
current QSO. Of course, field checking is done so if some data is missing
or wrong, user will
be notified about it.

Also, I think that we can add couple of new macro commands, for example:
$FOCUSCALL, $FOCUSRCVD, $FOCUSREC1, $FOCUSREC2, $FOCUSREC3...
This will move focus to Callsign, Rvd, RecInfo, RecInfo2 or RecInfo3...

$SPACE macro would send space each time it is called, so if you're already
in Rcvd field, and you need to repeat
the message, focus would be moved to next field (Callsign or RecInfo)...
With this new macro commands,
focus will be moved always in same field, for example Rcvd in case of
$FOCUSRCVD macro.

About this one:
"Automatically adding stations to the band map as you QSY without working
someone is a feature of Win-Test that DXLog.net doesn't support yet."
This will be available n 2.0.19 too, of course as option which could be
enabled / disabled.

73,
Chris - 9A5K
