Lots of changes.

Keyboard shortcuts is a work-in-progress. Press "h" or "?" on your keyboard. Feedback requested, especially from our visually impaired users.

The mPSK stuff needs a separate discussion. Try QPSK mode with VLF MSK or LF DGPS signals and 8PSK mode with strong, non-fading STANAG 4285 signals on HF.

FAX: the entire image will now align on shift-click including the part of the image already received. On mobile devices a touch on the image will cause an align.

    Thanks John, the Help key is a great idea !

    Now that I have 2 SDRs, how do I copy the dx.json file from the old one to the new SDR, so that my entries are updated?

    Is is possible to do a symbolic link between the 2 beaglebones?

    Cheers
    Paul

    On first kiwi:
    cdk
    scp dx.json root@my_second_kiwi_domain_name_or_ip_address:~/kiwi.config

    The keyboard shortcuts are a superset of those used with WebSDR. In several cases the control (ctrl) and/or alternate (alt) keys modify a key, or a shifted key, to get modified functions. Like a greater frequency step, man/min zoom or larger WF min step. Be careful with Windows. Ctrl-w and Ctrl-W will close the current window. Use alt-w and alt-W instead.

    I'm trying to figure out a way to get a key press to open the drop-down menus and also the tab key to jump between input fields so you could operate the extensions without a mouse.

    Hi  John,

    i am adding a new entry in the DX edit panel, while the next new adding the Kiwi reboots.

    DX edit panel:
    First entry = OK
    Second entry = reboot

    I had this testing on two Kiwis.

    v1.191 fixes this problem. Reboot to get the update right away.

    I'm afraid that the current way the keyboard shortcuts work block a number of common browser shortcuts. For example Ctrl+T/W to open and close tabs, Ctrl+C/V to copy/paste, Ctrl+A, Ctrl+M to mute the browser tab (which creates unfunny interactions with the intended mute feature), etc... I do use some of these a lot to navigate between KiwiSDR tabs so that's got quite annoying. Please be more conservative in what key combinations are intercepted :)

    What browser/OS? My experience was that the DOM events wouldn't override any global actions the browser was taking.

    Linux, at least Chrome and Firefox seem affected although the extent seems to vary.

    Reboot to get v1.193. Should be fixed, although I think it's going to take a while to get this right on all platform/browser combinations.
