After entering the Call, you can either Tab to the next Field (59 for the WPX log), then Tab again for the Serial Number Field.
Or you can Mouse Click on each of those Field locations - works the same way.

I've never used the Space key.? Always use Enter to record the QSO and get ready for the next incoming Call.? Works fast

That said, I do have two questions / comments related to the Contest software packages:
- CTRL F does not always activate the Frequency window.? It depends on where the cursor is at the time.? For CTRL F to work properly, you must insure the cursor is positioned in one of the data entry Fields.? Not a big deal, but sometimes requires an extra mouse click.
- CRTL E brings up the spot list for the Band currently active.? I usually start at the lowest active frequency spot in the band, then work up in frequency (from the top of the list in a downward direction).? Eventually, I get to the bottom of the spot list.? Is there some quick way to jump back to the top of the list (lowest frequency), AND reset the window spacing?? Scrolling the mouse wheel takes a long time.
Scott must not have spent much time operating WPX.? I ended up right behind him on HamDash? Great fun to occasionally check it during the contest.? Had a 4.5 hour downtime Sunday morning for thunderstorms and a computer that failed to restart after the shutdown.? The Bands were tough here in the Midwest
