space bar jump from QTH to GRID

Space bar key press won't make the jump from QTH to GRID.
This is convenient to populate VHF contacts. Even if it takes 5 consequent key presses, it is way faster than mouse pointing.

Or make the GRID appear earlier in the list, as most of the contacts *only* need CALLSIGN and LOCATOR info to be logged. (RST is auto 59, FREQ and MODE is auto from CAT, NAME just when QRZ.COM won't autofill...). So it ideally could be CALLSIGN -> SPACE BAR -> GRID -> ENTER [done]

Thank you,
Eduardo

Re: space bar jump from QTH to GRID

Eduardo,

this won't work, I suppose QTH will include also spaces, so please use tab or arrow down to move to next field. I don't use tab/space bar. U use arrow up/down to moving between fields.

I see your point, Petr.

I see your point, Petr.

I'll get used to pressing Tab five times with my pinky finger.

It is no way as fast as the space bar, but better than searching for down arrow key or mouse.

This sounds as a very light issue, and it probably is. But in contests or pileups, this hurts a little bit.

Maybe as a feature request if it ever gets feasible to implement, a preferences option to enable/disable/sort each field would really rock.
(If it takes sense in a logging software instead of a contesting software).

Thanks & 73,
Eduardo

This best way ! More amateurs never use field with zone, state, county, pwr, e.t.c.
