Dave, Things change with different versions. This change was well announced by Joe before hand and it was sort of a compromise to address a bigger problem - someone working someone else then "stealing" their frequency.
One handed operation is still possible. It's just different steps. However it seems that no matter how many people say this, your insistence is that it worked the way it did before. Unfortunately, the way it worked before led to a bigger problem, as I've described above. They could have left it the way it was before but QRM would be an issue. I would encourage you to try the alternate method which still can be done with one hand. Robin also makes a good point - if you do only have use of one hand, the OS has accessibility features to help you do things that normally would be done with two. Things like sticky keys for example. This helps not only with WSJT-X but other software. 73 Ria, N2RJ On Thu, Oct 19, 2017 at 3:36 AM, Dave Thorpe <d...@webslave.co.uk> wrote: > Robin > > > > I accept you point but with one major flaw > > > > There was NO issue before RC3 – the issue only occurred with RC3 – we had > it, now we don’t > > > > Dave > > M6RUG > > > > From: G8DQX (WSJT developers on SF) [mailto:wsjtde...@gape.me.uk] > Sent: 19 October 2017 01:52 > To: WSJT developers list on SourceForge <wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net> > Subject: [wsjt-devel] Single handed use of WSJT-X > > > > A number of people, including Dave M6RUG, have raised the question of using > WSJT-X when only one hand is reasonably functional.
