John, I experienced the same issue. I wanted the arrow keys between the standard keyboard and the number pad to be used for tuning. Although defining functions to the arrow keys is allowed, it does not work. Actually, I want just the arrow up/down keys to be use for going up/down by 10 and ideally use the number key-pad for going up/down by 1000, 100, and 10. As you notice I want 10 to be in 2 different places. This would allow tuning up/down in a crowded areas during contests (pouncing) without moving hands away from the keyboard. The mouse would be used to jump around greater distances. I want to use the left and right arrow keys for RIT with the center button toggling RIT on/off (or moving it to zero.. I'm not sure which would be better at this time), this would help in contests or round-tables by reduce the need to mouse to RIT, which I find very cumbersome.
The above is the reason I suggested using key-stroke capture method for assigning hot-keys to the functions as opposed to the existing programmer restricted method (i.e. what I want vs. what someone else thinks I want). The Key-stroke capture would allow any key, or key-combination (<Ctrl>,<Alt>,<shift>) to be used while giving the user maximum flexibility to tailor the system to their needs.

With focus on pSDR, the default keyboard letters QWERTYU (raising frequency) and ASDFGHJ (lowering frequency) work as advertised. However, if I select one of the arrow keys, say "up" (middle keypad), in place of, say, "R" (for incrementing frequency by kHz steps) the result is not (is?) as expected...it is not the frequency that is incremented but the position of the edit cursor in the frequency window. That is, even though the arrow keys are advertised as available for the function of inc/dec frequency, they are already dedicated to another function, apparently inextricably. Am I in error here? Or, should the arrow keys be removed from the list of available inc/dec frequency keyboard function?
