Shortcut Keys

Is there any way to add new ones such as orders, attitude and next turn. I have a mild form of RSI and I find using the mouse a bit difficult.

I'm with you on that Stoneage. I also have RSI and find mouse movement slightly difficult. I would like to see many more hotkeys added.
I find navigating through units to display the details screen is a bit of a pain.
I would suggest a key to toggle through all the companies in a unit and then the following unit in a stack while displaying the unit details screen - rather than having to click on each company with the mouse and then coming out of the screen altogether before clicking on another unit - then clicking on the company symbols again to get the next details screen up. If you want to see all your units details this takes ages!
Mouse click to come out of the battle report screen would also be nice.

Just discovered F9 is next turn, there is a slight delay about 5 seconds before its starts.

CTRL skips units who move (CTRL + E/R/T/Y...)
C to center on the selected army
F1 to F4 to open the ledger

Have you got any information on setting our own keys or adding new ones, I am a programmer myself and I know if you put can put a listener on a button its a very easy to assign the same listener to a key. Please think about the people who have a problem with using the mouse.

its not possible for now to rebind keys or add new ones by yourself. Games use DirectX and so everything has to be made "by hand". You don't have controls/components to handle the interface for you like in VC++ or Delphi.
If you really miss a shortcut, tell me which one.

This is my list...............
quick save game 'F5',
ctrl-save game 'F6'
Load last game 'F8'
Cycle thru stacks in region '>' '<'
The abilty to get to a view with out having to tab through them all, how about
1=control
2=Supply
3=strategic
4=Loyalty
5=States
6=Regions
0=normal view
Keys for unit attitude 'P' for passive, 'D' for Defensive, 'A'=Aggressive, 'S'=Assault.
'M'= Show message window.
Orders such as 'E'=Entrench, 'F'=forced march

If possible, I would love to have a key that would toggle me through each of the objective cities on the map and the strategic cities.
Also, is it possible to save a view of the map. For example, I move the map view over Albany and Ctl+F1 would save that view. When I hit F1, the map would jump to Albany.
