Complete hotkey list

By Finlander

In the original release of the game the (well) mapped hotkeys were listed in the instruction manual. However steam version of the game lacks the manual in question. I will add the hotkey command list in it's entirety, shortening only the "groups" command list since it is essentially same command with only different number buttons.

were the devs on crack making these hotkeys?! WHY would you not make them customizable? Why are some main funtions not on hotkeys? (like docking) Jesus christ most older games completely suck this way.

Build mode is also just completely ridiculous, like yeah I want a hotkey to be able to press hotkeys, WTF?!?!
Look at this fcking process to build something: ALT+PERIOD -> B -> ... -> and use the mouse at the same time, yeah fcking right. Meanwhile can't even see which engineer you've selected bc the whole screen is a complete clutter and engineers look like every other goddamn unit and 1 tile buildings in this faction
thx for the guide though WHICH SHOULD BE IN THE GAME
