Game Hotkeys list ?

Post by PDiFolco »

The game has plenty of useful hotkeys, but I can't find a list to print ...
The manual says "refer to the back of the manual cover", but the pdf manual has no such "back" ! [8|][:'(]
Does someone have a simple reference doc ?
Thx !

There is a list of the hotkeys in-game.

Start a game.
Go to: Help - General Help - Other Features

You can copy and paste the list into a notepad file to print.

Cheers,

W - while any HQ Unit selected - will show the "command" range of that HQ
Usable with all regular HQ Units but also if you select a company HQ it will display that HQs range of command.
This one works maybe only if you choose "Command and Control" but who doesnt?

BTW
Anybody knows a quick trick for looking up engineer units (mineclearing capabilities) apart from going through the map visually? I know of a button in the scen editor but havent found something equal in the game.
---
Found it myself after looking up something from another thread...
In the "Display" menu there is a "Highlight" feature. it can "highlight" almost anything, from mineclearing to "what not".
