It sends a continuous key down to tune the transmitter.
Hotkey for this command is Alt-U.

The ButtonsRows, ButtonsColumns, ButtonsHeight parameters
of the [Screen] section
of the CWTYPE.INI file define macros buttons arrangement and size.
Some minor bugs were fixed.
V1.20
Macrosequences were made:
~[ce] or `[ce] - to clear edit fields;
~[csnt] or `[csnt] - to clear sent symbols window
Macrosequences for increment of numbers in the edit fields were made:
~[nic] or `[nic] - to increment a number in the "Call" field;
~[nir] or `[nir] - to increment a number in the "RST" field;
~[nin] or `[nin] - to increment a number in the "Name" field;
~[nio] or `[nio] - to increment a number in the "Other" field.
Macrosequences for logger control were made:
~[lgc] or `[lgc] - to clear all fields, except "Date", "Band" and "Mode" in the "New QSO" window of the AALog;
~[lgt] or `[lgt] - to set current time and date in the "New QSO" logger window;
~[lgs] or `[lgs] - to save QSO into the log;
~[lgts] or `[lgts] - to set current time and date and save QSO.
The Setup >Use 'Other' Field As menu assigns alternative meaning to
"Other" edit field. This meaning is used to catch words from CwGet and to
transfer data to a logger.
V1.13
New macrosecuences were added:
~[su] or `[su] - to increase speed;
~[sd] or `[sd] - to decrease speed;
~[spNNN] or `[spNNN] - to set speed of NNN LPM;
~[ss] or `[ss] - to save current speed to memory;
~[sr] or `[sr] - to restore speed from memory.
Please, think twice before using this macrosequences!
It is too hard to receive morse code with variable speed usually.
Logger can set speed and inter-letter space via special messages now.
V1.12
A bug was fixed. OnTop mode didnt work correctly after Edit Macros command executing.
The File > Open Capture File command opens capture-file for transmitted symbols. If file exist, new symbols are appended to it.
The File > Close Capture File command closes capture-file. Capture-file state is shown in status-line. Hotkey for capture on/off commands is Alt-L. The command line argument /c Filename can be used to open capture file at the program startup.
V1.11
A bug was fixed. The DXSOFTEX.DLL was not included in the distributive.
V1.10
A bug was fixed. ~[rx] , `[rx] and `[pa] macrosequences didnt work when User-defined Charset option was selected.
The Setup > Beacon Off At Paddle Press option was made.
CwType can get data from another software to transmit now. Data exchange can be made by DXSOFTEX.DLL library. See https://www.dxsoft.com/dxs-exch.zip for details.
V1.05
A minor bug was fixed. The program did not restored saved speed when inter-letter space was not equal three.
The Setup > OnTop menu item is used in place of OnTop button now.
The Setup > Iambic Mode menu item is used in place of OnTop button now.
New Beacon button switch on beacon mode now. In this mode Alt-F12 macro is executed periodically. The period is defined by the regulator on the left of the Beacon button. The shortcuts for Beacon button are Alt-B and Ctrl-B. The macrosequences ~[bon] and `[bon] switch beacon mode on, the macrosequences ~[boff] and `[boff] switch beacon mode off.
The macrosequences ~[lsN] and `[lsN] can be used to select inter-letter space now. There N is desired space in dots.
V1.04
User can select charset of transmitted symbols now.
User-defined charset can be used also (Setup > User-defined Charset).
In this case charset is defined by simple text file. See example in SAMPLE.CWT file.
