I need a simple way to switch the cat on and off. So I can make some QSO in other mode like CW / Phone and continue with JTDX.
Now I have to shut down JTDX or change the settings so I can take full control over my TRX. And after QSO put it on again by the settings or restart JTDX.
This could be done by a simple button or by click on the frequentie-field. Perhapse with a simple indicator in that field. ('cat' in green is 'on' and 'cat' in red is 'off')

Simple way is just close jtdx.

CAT to 'off' would be not enough, audio stream is still in JTDX.
If cat is turned off and someone fingers on his device, everything must be restored
to the settings as it was before - EVERYTHING - before CAT can be enabled again.
Such a function will open Pandora's box. Many users having problems to handle basic
functions right now and they are not able to understand why & how.
These 'experts' will then outsmart themselves again with this newly desired function.
But why a new extra button ? In the upper right coner is such a button: [X] ;-)
Click on it and CAT is gone. To enable CAT again, press the icon, labled 'JTDX'.
But as said, make sure your rig is ready for data transmission etc.

I could put a rig_pause function in Hamlib -- would be pretty easy. That way it would only return cached values and disable setting frequency and mode on all VFOs.
Perhaps a click on the frequency box (or control-click) or the Split indicator could be the "CAT control paused...cache only" or such.

Wolfgang,
Many recent TRX have an integrated audio card, keeping audio stream active in this case is not an issue.
Disabling CAT would permit to use other frequency/mode like SSB or CW without closing JTDX.
Of course we can close the window but it just would be more convenient.
