Message Preferences
The fields on the Messages pane define the CW messages that are played using the function keys F1 through F8. Tapping a function key copies the message to the end of the text in the keyboard input field.
The Table column defines the name for each message; these names appear in the Messages menu.
The Message Content column defines the morse code that is sent when the message plays. Message definitions may include letters, numbers, punctuation, and symbols that the WinKeyer converts to morse code.
When a message is copied to the the keyboard field, it is scanned for three special symbols. Each occurrence of ` (grave accent) is replaced by My Call. Occurrences of ~ (tilde) are replaced by Their Call. Occurrences of % (percent) are replaced by Their Name.
Messages may contain two other special symbols. The pipe symbol (|) inserts a thin space in the morse output. The { symbol combines the two characters following the symbol into a single morse character by sending both characters with no letter space between them.
If you press buttons 1 through 4 on your WinKeyer, the corresponding F1 to F4 messages will play.
