I accept you point but with one major flaw

 

There was NO issue before RC3 – the issue only occurred with RC3 – we had it, 
now we don’t

Subject: [wsjt-devel] Single handed use of WSJT-X

 

A number of people, including Dave M6RUG, have raised the question of using 
WSJT-X when only one hand is reasonably functional. However, single-handed use 
of an interface is a general problem when using a PC, and Linux, OS/X and 
Windows all have approaches which ease the problems for users for whom 
double-handed use &c. &c. is an issue.

In the case of Ubuntu Linux there is information at 
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Accessibility#Mobility_Impairments which 
explains how sticky control keys may be set up and used, such that 
single-handed operation is possible, for quite complicated control sequences. 
More elaborate arrangements are possible. Similarly, other OSes, these days, 
allow for adaptations to the needs of the user.

For a single-handed person, none of those adaptations are likely to be as easy 
to use as for a single-handed person but, with persistence, the adaptations 
will allow the job to be done.

It is also the case that with any user interface there is very rarely any truly 
successful one-size-fits-all solution, even for those who are fully dextrous.
