I had no way to input mouse-wheel events, and it took me a while to work out that you can make the numbers go up by clicking in the top of the digit, down by clicking in the bottom.\r\n\r\nThis was one of those times when being able to bring up a widget that accepts numerical keyboard entry would have saved quite a lot of time and frustration. My friend was reading out quite different frequencies to see if we could pick them up, and it took ages to enter them.\r\n\r\nAlso it would be nice if there was a button to zero the offset frequency. The most common operation on the offset was to zero it after dragging the carrier marker around graphically. Without zeroing the offset, if you load a book-mark, you still have an offset. So you then zero it one digit at a time, then you need to load the book-mark again."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/csete/gqrx/issues/comments/138092393","html_url":"https://github.com/csete/gqrx/issues/274#issuecomment-138092393","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/csete/gqrx/issues/274","id":138092393,"user":{"login":"darrenfreeman","id":4440028,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/4440028?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/darrenfreeman","html_url":"https://github.com/darrenfreeman","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/darrenfreeman/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/darrenfreeman/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/darrenfreeman/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/darrenfreeman/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/darrenfreeman/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/darrenfreeman/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/darrenfreeman/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/darrenfreeman/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/darrenfreeman/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-09-06T15:19:19Z","updated_at":"2015-09-06T15:19:19Z","body":"I see that now, thanks.\r\n\r\nHonestly I find that widget quite counter-intuitive. I gather it's a custom one, and I haven't seen anything like it in another application. I'm sure I will get the hang of it but I hope it can be made a little easier to just pick up and use without reading the manual."}}
