[Tlf-devel] Entry issues & key issues

[Adam Clark]

Hi all,

I recently discovered TLF and used it to play around with during this past 
Field Day.  I had a couple of questions about it as I had two issues:

First, I was operating phone only and when I went to log a QSO, very often the 
exchange field would just blank rather than enter the QSO.  Only once or twice 
did hitting enter (with both callsign and exchange entered) actually log the 
QSO on that attempt.  I can tell you it was tricky at times waiting for 
confirmation of a QSO and hitting enter watching the exchange disappear after 
it might have been sitting there for a few minutes. 

The second item seems really strange but has obviously been an issue along the 
way - arrow keys didn't function in it at all, so I wasn't able to make use of 
any function that relied on them.

My environment was running tlf within kde's konsole.  After discovering cursor 
keys weren't working, I tried running it with "TERM=linux tlf", but that 
didn't help the issue.

So I suspect there's likely items that I may have not done appropriately in 
logcfg.dat or elsewhere, but I haven't found the information on what the 
issues might have been.  Pretty much everything else got working very easily, 
including rig control, packet interface, cabrillo export, etc. and I am 
grateful for finding this logger!

The packaged version I have installed here is tlf-1.2.4.5-lp150.3.3.x86_64 
from the opensuse hamradio repository.

Thanks all in advance!
