Rather than extra buttons / tick boxes on the existing busy screen
I hardly see the FT8/FT4 main screen as "busy" -- indeed, I see plenty
of empty real estate for these two tick boxes with labels (or buttons
with labels within the buttons that change state). I really object to
the "lowest common denominator" view of what hams should be able to
understand, especially with those who can't bother to read the manual!
After all, a minimal test is required for VHF operation, and a greater
one for most HF privileges.
As has been observed, the conflict between contest mode and normal
mode drives all users nuts, contesters and non-contesters, on VHF/UHF,
where contest operation is on the usual channels. And the need for the
F/H switch is pretty obvious to those who use it. Granted, thanks to
COVID, there have been precious few expeditions to work, but hopefully
that will soon get us back to more normal conditions.

Jim,
that space is basically an illusion. The reason is that the main window
layout is largely shared by all modes and variants, the exceptions to
that are WSPR, FST4W, Frequency calibration, and EME Echo mode. What
appears to be empty space is almost always a hidden widget that appears
with some other mode or mode variant.
