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.

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.
