Key bindings

[Andrius227]

So, where are they ? Most stuff can be controled with mouse, some stuff cannot. And i can't find the controls... For example, i don't know how to disable "free camera", there is a button to turn it on, but no button to turn it off... very annoying. Help ? Anyone ?

And where the hell is pause key ?? Why can't they show the controls in the options ?

There are a few keyboard shortcuts in the manual:

Esc / Right mouse click: closes the current screen and returns to the previous menu, except for the galaxy view.

Galaxy View

• WASD / Arrow keys: move the view
  
• Num-Enter: ends the turn
  
• Return: opens the chat interface (multiplayer)

Fleet selection in Galaxy view

• Right click on destination star to issue a move order to the selected fleet
  
• Shift + Right click: queue up move orders for the selected fleet
  
• Ctrl + Right click: force free movement (once the proper technology has been researched)

Battle View

• H: Hides / shows the user interface

Battle View / Free Camera mode

• Arrow keys: move the view
  
• Mouse wheel: changes the camera angle
  
• Mouse right click + pan: rotates the camera view
  
• Ctrl: sticks / unsticks the camera on your fleet

thanks, but there must be more keys than that. What about pause key in battle ? or free camera mode movement up/down ? Because moving the camera is really hard but if i knew the key to pause i could slowly move around and get a better look at things.

I absolutely support Key Bindings idea. Besides camera hotkeys, I'd like to see hotkeys for such important windows as 'Empire', 'Research', 'Military', etc. Plus hotkeys for all fleets and systems. The usual timer in multiplayer games is 30-45 sec, and it's impossible to control everything without hotkeys.
P.S. After playing StarCraft 2 I feel like an idiot playing such a good game as Endless Space without using keyboard and dragging my mouse like insane.
