More keyboard shortcuts

August 6, 2006 6:51 PM from

Enter for OK or Done
ESC for cancel (currently ESC brings up the options screen which I think is kind of pointless)

Hotkeys for building planetary improvements (building whatever your curent type of that improvement is):
P for production
I for influence
R for research
E for econimic
M for morale
F for food
S for startport
And use the arrow keys to change the currently selected tile

This would be a little more friendly for people who have mouse-related RSI, or otherwise have trouble using a mouse, or just for those who prefer using the keyboard (like me).

I second that since I play on a laptop without a external mouse and my touchpad goes a little haywire (maybe from the heat) but at least I have a stick as well that can help. I have a little problem occasionaly that when I click the button by the touchpad, the cursor moves so my double click does not work.

Keyboard shortcuts are usually always good to have

It would also be nice if the F keys were toggles - one press opens a screen, a second press of the same key closes it.
