Hot keys in GalCiv II

Published on Tuesday, October 25, 2005 By Brad Wardell In GalCiv Journals

Galactic Civilizations I didn't have many hot keys.  This time around, we want to have lots of them.

Here are some of the preliminary ones (and if we have time, we'll make this configurable -- maybe for the bonus pack).

F1 through F4 are different views of the map.

  • 1 Ship List
  • 2 Planet list
  • 3 Research Screen
  • 4 Domestic Policy
  • 5 Foreign Policy
  • 6 Galactic Census
  • 7 Ship Design
  • TAB Find next ship
  • SPACE pass on current ship (give up moves)
  • ENTER end turn
  • ` Toggle grid lines
  • Delete delete current ship
  • ' Find your toughest ship
  • ; Find your most powerful fleet
  • G Open up Goto panel to send ship to a given destination
  • X Enter Rallypoint mode
  • R Bring up list of Rally Points
  • P Bring up most powerful planet in your civilization
  • B Build starbase with currently selected constructor
  • S Sentry currently selected ship
  • G Set current ship to guard
  • D Bring up details for currently selected ship or the details screen on selected planet.
  • + zoom in
  • - zoom out
  • Keypad + zoom in on mini map
  • Keypad - zoom out on mini map
  • Backspace toggle screens that have fold in UIs.
  • Esc Options screen
  • Ctrl-S Quick Save current game
  • Ctrl-1 Bring up negotiation screen with Humans
  • Ctrl-2 " with Drengin
  • Ctrl-3 through 0 bring up negotiation screen with corresponding player
  • Home brings up home planet of currently selected ship. If no ship selected, brings up your capital world.

Any others you can think of?
