Frequently Asked Questions
Why doesn't SkookumMorse decode Morse for me? What fun would that be?
Why doesn't tapping a function key send a message? Function keys are not directly accessible by default in Mac OS X; you must hold down the fn key along with the function key. To avoid needing to press the fn key, check the Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys box on the Keyboard tab of the Keyboard & Mouse System Preferences pane.
Why doesn't SkookumMorse have a way to set the speed? The software author (that would be me) believes that the potentiometer is the ideal user interface for varying CW speed. Duplicating that functionality with a less capable computer interface would be adding Useless Generality.
Furthermore, the author believes that incrementing and decrementing sending speeds within CW messages is abominable.
Why doesn't some-menu-item work? This is beta software, built starting with a template provided by Apple. Eventually, with your guidance, that menu-item will either be implemented or removed, depending on whether or not it is useful.
Why won't SkookumMorse send Morse code? Rarely, SkookumMorse may get out of sync with your WinKeyer USB. Try tapping the Abort button.
