I don't know of many people who 'toggle' F/H mode. As has been pointed out, if you're using F/H mode, you're chasing a DXPedition that has normally announced what frequencies it will be using, and would not be on the normal FT8 locations.
Whoever is using a F/H look-alike on the normal frequencies is doing a disservice to the rest of the community. Neil, KN3ILZ On 4/22/2019 5:14 PM, Frank Kirschner wrote:

However, there have been (and still are) numerous stations using the MSHV multi-thread mode in the standard band segments; such stations superficially appear to be using F/H mode because of the multiple concurrent QSOs but they're most definitely not. Here's a DX cluster report of a station using F/H in the regular band segment: image.png I can't receive him (low-band antenna blew down), and I wouldn't know if he was or wasn't, but I have worked several stations using F/H mode in the regular band segment. I use a specific, separate configuration for F/H mode and see no need to have a main-screen check-box to select the mode; as has already been pointed out selecting that, and any other, configuration can already be quickly and easily selected via a couple of clicks. Yes, that's one work-around, probably the one I will use. But since toggling F/H mode is done more often than toggling Hold Tx Freq or Call 1st, it seems like that should be quicker to get to. A good UI has the most-used features closest to the user. 73, Frank KF6E -- 73, Martin G0HDB
