Basic Usage
When you start SkookumMorse, it automatically tries to connect to a WinKeyer. If the attempt fails, correct the problem and select the serial port in General preferences.
Type into the keyboard field (or copy-paste or drag text into the field). If the Pause item is not checked, characters are sent right away, with proper spacing timing as long as you stay slightly ahead of the sending. Checking Pause stops sending; unchecking it again picks up where you left off. Green highlighting indicates characters that have been sent. Yellow highlighting indicates characters that are being sent.
Twirl the SPEED knob on the WinKeyer to change sending speed.
Tap the Abort button, the escape key, or your paddle to stop sending and clear the input fields.
Tap function keys F1 through F8 to send stored messages. Define your messages in Messages preferences.
Switch to other applications as needed; SkookumMorse will continue sending. Tap the paddle to stop sending without switching back to SkookumMorse.
