The K3 previously did copy mode (and other parameters) on the first tap. 
But some users felt that they would like to be able to choose whether to 
do this. The change added overall flexibility at the cost of an extra 
tap. Sure, it's a compromise, like all engineering and software design.

Someday perhaps we'll be able to define macros within the K3 (of course 
today it can be done in a rig control program). If I could define a 
macro for split, here is what I would do (in CW mode):

Split on
Subrx on
Copy freq and mode to subrx
Set subrx bandwidth to 1 kHz (leave main as is)
Move subrx up 2 kHz
