CW Keyer Bug

Hello,

I am not sure this is the right place to report bugs, however I think I found a quite obvious one.

When using the "CW Tools" window the tags <his call>, <his name> etc. work correctly if used with the hardcoded buttons.
When using custom buttons, instead, the tags are sent verbatim without any variable expansion.

For example, if I am having a QSO with W1AW and I was to press the predefined "DE" button, the program would send "<HIS CALL> DE <MY CALL>" instead of "W1AW DE K1FM".

I am using RUMlogNG 5.12.5 (588)

Thanks and 73

This happens with the IC7300 internal keyer (CAT over TCP)

This is not supported here.

I am not sure what that means.
Settings says: "The IC-7300 supports CW keying via the CAT interface. You can use the CW Window".
I am using the CW Window with a 7300 via CAT. Could you explain a bit more? Thanks
