Add keyboard shortcut for start/stop
To look more closely at a transmission on the waterfall, I often stop the capture directly after the transmission. Currently, I do this using the File -> Stop / Start Device menu, which is a bit cumbersome to do quickly and time exactly.
AFAICS (from the docs and a quick look through the code), it is not currently possible to do this using the keyboard, so it would suggest that adding a keyboard shortcut for this might be useful.
I'm not sure what shortcut would work best (the first thing I tried was "space", thinking about video players that often do start/pause with space, but given that space is already used in some contexts, that is probably not the best idea). Anything that is global, probably (i.e. works regardless of mouse position or focus, other than that the window must be focused).
@matthijskooijman thanks for the suggestion; I can see how a quick stop/start key could be useful.
Will think about the key / combo; I agree spacebar would have been logical; but perhaps something like CTRL-SPACE so it doesn't conflict with the frequency entry dialog.
