Just made some first tests (TS590S + Hamlib-4.3.1) with mixed results:

- Sending CW per keyer window works as expected.

- Leaving keyer window (ESC) gives me a messsage about missing
  supported for stopping - first time with the default error colors
  (white on blue), after that only black on white. 

- The delay after the message maybe a little bit long.

- Sending Fx-messages does not work at all and gives no error or
  warning.

Fine. I think it could need some more tests from different rigs. I can
imagine a period of time during which not all rigs will support
stopping CW. That should be handled more graceful.

At least the keyword needs to be documented in the man page.
