Hello.

Is there a way in FlexRadio to move the focus to the last QSO window used? I can manage to switch focus by using the full title (SDC (Software Defined Connectors v19.03 x64)) to the main SDC window  but if I use New QSO 1 or New QSO 2, the focus stays on Flex.

I don’t know if this will be possible, if you switch from the QSO #2 window to Flex, return to the QSO #2 window automatically to the QSO #2 window.

Hi
SDC has its own window system, so Focus Helper does not work. I will fix this in the next version.
But I don't see the sence in this, since the focus will always be transferred only to the New QSO 1 window.
Enable "Auto Grab focus into New QSO window" (in Contest->Main) - then clicking on the callsign on the panorama will transfer the focus to the corresponding New QSO window.
Enable "Activate New QSO window with key Left/Right Shift" (in Contest->SOxR) - Focus will always be transferred to the corresponding New QSO window when the Shift key is pressed, even if the focus is in another program. Use the latest version: v19.0321.

Hello.

Installed last test version, no luck, shift key + left/right changes transmit profile on flex, using hotkeys mapping from SmartSDR.

Miguel, not Shift+Left/Right, but the left or right Shift key.

Ok, now I understand. I had already tried that and it wasn't working. Now I see what happens: with 2 QSO windows it works, but with 3 QSO windows the Shift key doesn't switch to any of them :-) No problem, it's not critical anyway, I'm hoping to use the mouse as little as possible.

I'd like to take this opportunity to ask a question I haven't found an answer to in this group: how do I insert a return in macros? I tried \n, \r, and \ without success.

To work with three or more New QSO windows, you can use the corresponding number of keyboards )). Then pressing any of the Shift keys will activate the corresponding New QSO window.

Sure, it’s a good option, although I think I’ll implement it using AutoHotkey software to free up space on the desk. 

Thanks for everything!
