It might be better to have an in-entry button on the right side to fill in the UTC and for contests it should be done anyway at save-time. > I have a friend who has wished for a) a better/different order in the > New QSO frame, or b) the ability to add/delete those boxes at will, > for different contests, and c) the ability to enter a QSO *without* > needing the mouse.

I am thinking about a configurable order of the fields including a save button etc. Recently we had an SSB fieldday and I used some Windows program for logging. That was really convenient and worked pretty well - without clicking. We should also have such an option. Context specific checks would also be useful. > For example, in a 6m contest, the exchange might be callsign, signal > report, and grid locator, which is challenging to do with the current > software. Right. The software should lead you through the QSO during a contest. > I am interested in your ideas.

Re-adding the date button and its mnemonic would be simple and could be the default. So that a new field ordering can be done as an option. I guess I will first work on a configurable order of the new QSO fields and add a configurable save button. BTW, is GTK-2 set or would migrating to GTK-3 be okay? I can live with both.
