Come again? How is it more difficult to use the menu to change the K3 to hand key mode than it is to use the menu to change the K3 to sideswiper mode?? I don't get it.
As far as the required hardware being complicated, a short clip lead jumper across the dit/dah terminals of your paddle would probably do the job just fine. Worst case (depending upon the wiring in the K3) the jumper might need a series diode. Everything is simple to do in software when you don't have to spend the time do it or worry about unintended side effects.
