Hotkeys

[Brit]

Since if seems to be a popular item, I just added hotkeys to the game. I'm not much of a hotkey gamer, myself, so I'll ask you: what suggestions do you have for hotkeys? The hotkeys I've added are:

Repeat Orders [R]

Sentry

Upgrade

Clear Orders [C]

Remove Last Order [X]

Voicechat [shift]

Message Window [M]

Begin New Instant Message [Return]

City View [V]

City List [A]

Research / Technology [T]

Submit Turn [Q]

Some of the suggestions I've seen on the forums:

Adding the hot key ability to toggle/step to all of your cities. (Boris Balaban)

Any others you'd like to see?

And, yes, the hotkeys will be customizable.

can you give us the ability to map the hotkeys? That would be cool to.

[esc] to close open windows please

[,] and [.] to move forwards/backwards through units without orders

[space] to take a unit off the 'needs orders' list for one turn only

some laptops don't have numbers keypad (like mine, or there is a toggle switch that switchs out regular keys for num keys); so could hot keys be kept on regular keyboard.

i would like- show all paths key (toggle).

I came here to post these.

As he said (above).

Also, is there any serious reason not to give us the ability to pan the view with arrow keys?

I didn't mind using the middle mouse, but now that accidentally pushing the wheel causes the map to zoom, it's a bit irritating. Particularly because the view is being pushed half a map west when you move the wheel.
