good idea - I miss it too.

I would go further: it would be great, if some thing we could
switch/modify from a "panel", which would be access from
anywhere. I mean, the CW speed could be changed from call input
field, if the callsign is empty, or - as you wrote - the mode
switch. There would be only one "decorated" shortkey, when it
pressed, the short-settings panel comes up, and you can use
other, dedicated shortkeys, or explicit values...

I think this is a little bit "dangerous", and it must be
override. Just think about the different between FSK/AFSK modes.
Or (a good example), recently was the ARRL DX CW, on 40m band the
stations had worked over 7.040 kHz too, up until the 7.060 kHz -
but that is the SSB segment.

similar as above: if you switch to SSB, because you want to work on
AFSK/PSK mode, Tlf how could know, in which mode you're using?
DIGI or SSB?
