I understand your point Leigh. I do think though that using the Enter key would be easier to teach to the non digital ham. To make turning the mode on and off would probably require a button on the top line like the RSID and Tune buttons that something like "Auto TX" with its own green light. I do appreciate, though, that this would not be a trivial coding change so am really floating the idea for future consideration.
