OK some some experimentation and I have made one step forward and one back !
I can drop the MOB marker in OCPN from the command line with the XVKBD (a virtual keyboard) using the commad
Note: there is space after the C
Works every time from a terminal.
When I enter it as an action in OpenPlotter it does nothing. Or rather the only effect that it has is duplicate another action that I had tied to the MOB button condition (it is just a message that gives the lat and lon that I had in there for testing).
I have tried deleting the other actions so that the xvkbd command is the only one associated with the MOB button condition - nothing happens
Running OpenPlotter from the command line in a terminal produces no errors.
Any ideas anybody? Frustrating this, so close but no bananas!
