[WT-support] Two WT fix/feature requests: Re Band Map Alt-Click and Rotator control

[Bob Wilson, N6TV]

Summary:

Alt-Click should SubRx mode too
Ctrl-F12 should clear numeric headings from entry window

I'm running WT 4.54 with Radio 1 set to Elecraft K4.

Band Map and Sub Rx Mode
------------------------
I don't operate mixed mode contests in assisted mode very often, so I never
noticed this until now.

I've enabled Single-Click actions, but I don't think this makes any
difference.

(You can right click on the following windows in Win-Test to enable "Single
Click Actions" on a per-window basis:  Band Map, DX Cluster, Check Partial,
and Check Multipliers.)

For operating "SO2V" mode, (two VFOs, one radio), I really like using
Alt-Click (or Alt-Double-Click) to move the frequency of the Sub VFO to the
spot.  This works fine in single mode contests.  But in mixed mode
contests, Win-Test doesn't change the *mode* of the SubRx per the frequency
range set by the BandMap settings, like it does when I single click on a
spot.

For the Elecraft K3 and K4, the radio command to change the SubRx mode
(only) to USB, for example, would be MD$2; (the MD2; command changes MainRx
mode to USB).

I can't do this with a LUA script because there is no way to execute a
script automatically whenever you select a spot.

Rotator Control
---------------
I find it very convenient to use wtDxRotators to automatically rotate a
beam by typing a heading, prefix, or callsign in the logging window before
pressing Ctrl+F12 (or Alt+F12 for long path) to start rotation.

It would be nice if Win-Test could automatically CLEAR the logging window
after you press Ctrl+F12 or Alt-F12, if the logging window has an all
numeric heading like 275.  If the logging window has a callsign or prefix
(any alpha characters), then pressing those keys should NOT clear the
logging window.

I don't think it will be very hard for me to write a new LUA script to do
that, but perhaps I won't have to?
