[hpsdr] Bug mode paddle keyer option?

Anyone:

It seems that, like Flex's SmartSDR, PowerSDR has no "bug" emulation 
mode for its electronic keyer.  My TS-590S and even the new TS-990S and 
others have such a feature.  This may be considered an archaic relic 
from the past long since surpassed by the more modern (and faster) 
iambic mode, but I (and many others) still use a bug style keyer in the 
form of a dual contact paddle keyer combined with and electronic keyer 
in bug mode to repeat the dits.  It looks now like I'll be forced to get 
a cheap electronic keyer to continue using my 100D for CW.  This is a 
serious bug of omission, pardon the pun, IMHO.  I would like to promote 
the need for this wrongly omitted keyer option by Flex which we have 
inherited. There are scads of arcane and very rarely used options in 
PowerSDR, but I would like to cast my vote to add yet another.

ANAN-100D owner,
