Hi Saku

Thank you for your message.

I agree with your views totally and have to accept that changes require me to 
adapt as well. I have no objection to the changes that have been made, simply 
that it was not necessary to make it harder for me to adapt.

I wish you all the best.

Kind regards

Dave

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


Hi !

Before writing this I played a while with wsjtx and single hand. My both hands 
are not in very good shape. Sometimes right is better, sometimes left.
For that I have learned to switch mouse from one side of the table to another. 
I do not switch buttons, just the placement of the mouse.
It did not took many days to learn to do things equally with left or right. 
Drawing programs were the the most difficult at start, but with practice it is 
rather easy to learn, too.

It is the same with FT8. Just some open minded learning and some practice.
I do not have any difficulties, with one hand, to move my TX to wanted slot 
first by right clicking desired point on waterfall to get my RX there and then 
clicking "TX<-RX".

Fast and simple. It just costs 2 clicks. Nothing more.
Well, prices of did rise 50% from rc2, as they always do, but against that we 
got really well working split.

You may complain having "double click", but you can not say it is impossible or 
hard with one hand in any way.

I'm surprised to notice that:
  - people to not read manuals or user guides. Not even release notes.
    And WSJT-X is not the only program...
    Should guides have to be programmed  so that they pop up at first start 
after upgrade
    and you can not use program itself after first setting check box on every 
chapter to seen (perhaps even read) it?

  - people do not want to change way of working  that the have once learned.
    They always look situation from their own point of view, not from the 
global view.
    Habits are not easily changed. Not even when the new ones finally would 
offer more.

  - Spending time to negative conversations is more important than using it for 
learning new things.

Ok!   I have same problems with myself.   I admit that.

Maybe it has been little smaller shock for me as I have played with most of 
devel-versions between rc2 and rc3 and seen that progress was going to better 
direction all the time.

Let's try to learn something new and give up from old. We have an excellent rc3 
version. Thanks for that!
