Another proposal would be <CTRL>+F1 to toggle through the modes.
That would be compatible to other programms. We should include all
modes to toggle through for normal qso mode.
Except that X desktop window managers grab the Ctl-Fx keys for desktop
switching. Asking users to disable those keys in their window manager
may be too much. Alt-Fx keys are also often in use for various desktop
functions.
On the Linux console the Ctl-Fx keys may be available but the console
driver uses Alt-Fx for virtual console switching. It seems that use of
either Ctl-Fx or Alt-Fx are problematic.
Using something like :CW or :LSB seems not a great burden unless one
would be switching modes with every QSO. Using the leading colon in the
call field informs the key stroke parser that a command is following.
I'm not a high speed op, so I may be far off base!
