Gentlemen

No doubt I have missed them in the instruction manual but are there any "quick keys" for HPS.
For example "select all units in hex" or " break unit down in to skirmishers plus min. formed parent unit"

From Campaign Leipzig docs.

Hot Keys
The following Hot Keys are supported in the main program. Note that these Hot Keys are defined as command accelerators of the main program main window and therefore the main window must have the keyboard focus for these to work (that is, the main window must have a highlighted title bar).
Shift Key - display the on-map labels while this key is pressed.
Space Bar - display the Selection Dialog (useful in Full Screen mode).
F1 - invoke General Help (display this help file).
F2 – invoke the Parameter Data Dialog.
F3 – invoke the Campaign Notes help file.
F4 – display User Manual.
F5 – slow the speed of the A/I processing.
F6 – return A/I processing to normal speed.
F7 – increase the speed of the A/I processing.
F8 – put the A/I in the highest possible processing mode (use F6 to return to normal).
B - move the selected units backward in the Hot Spot hex (Note: this only has a visible effect in the 3D graphics mode).
F - move the selected units forward in the Hot Spot hex (Note: this only has a visible effect in the 3D graphics mode).
J – display Jump Dialog.
K – toggle display of Command Range.
L - turn the selected units counterclockwise.
N - advance the Hot Spot to the next stack of units that have not been active this turn or phase in the current move or fire mode.
R - turn the selected units clockwise.
U - undo the last move (not available under Fog-of-War).
X - remove the selected units from the map.
Z - start Roaming Mode.
1 - display the map in Zoom-Out 2D mode.
2 - display the map in Normal 2D mode.
3 - display the map in Zoom-Out 3D mode.
4 - display the map in Normal 3D mode.
Normally the screen is recentered on the Hot Spot hex when you change zoom modes. If you hold down the Alt key when you change zoom modes, the screen will retain the current view.
Keypad 0 - change the formation of the selected units.
Keypad 1 - move the selected units down and to the left one hex.
Keypad 2 - move the selected units down one hex.
Keypad 3 - move the selected units down and to the right one hex.
Keypad 4 - turn the selected units counterclockwise.
Keypad 5 - turn the selected units about-face.
Keypad 6 - turn the selected units clockwise.
Keypad 7 - move the selected units up and to the left one hex.
Keypad 8 - move the selected units up one hex.
Keypad 9 - move the selected units up and to the right one hex.
Delete - move the selected units counterclockwise.
Page Down - move the selected units clockwise.
Home - move the selected units forward in the Hot Spot hex (Note: this only has a visible effect in the 3D graphics mode).
End - move the selected units backward in the Hot Spot hex (Note: this only

Salute!

Al gave a great cheat sheet of the key functions.
I will make good use of it - thank you sir!

I would only add, that in respect to activate all units in a hex, you should be able to double-click on the hex, and all units will become active.

Regards

Todd - double clicking on a hex DOES in fact select the entire stack. In order to ONLY select individual units you first select the hex and then in the Info area select the units that you want to move from that hex.

Have you been selecting the entire stack by selecting all of the units one by one? :cry:

Thanks for the chart, Al. Guys - this info is in the Help files. I highly suggest every one of us to read through them carefully throughout the year. Usually there is ALWAYS something that jumps out at me that I did not know.

Gentlemen

Do the list of quick keys apply only to Leipzig and 1814?
If yes would the keys be retrospectivly included in new patches for the other games?
