Keyboard shortcuts for the menus

Not sure if this has been posted or not, but.

One thing I've noticed throughout the game's development and releases in both EA and retail/final release is that a number of players are not aware of certain features and shortcuts available in the game's menus. For instance, the lack of alphabetical wrestler sorting comes up a as a common complaint about the game in reviews on Steam.

However, some of those features are already there in game, but left undocumented. This will more than likely change once the PC version of the game is updated with the new UI design, based on screenshots of the PS4 version of the game, but until then, I've noticed these:

On the wrestler select screen, pressing the "light" attack button on the keyboard (Z by default) will sort your edits alphabetically. Press it again to sort them in reverse alphabetical order. One more press will return the wrestlers to their default order. At the moment, however, this will not work for the edit menus; it'd be nice if they changed this for the model wrestler select when creating a new edit, though

Pressing the "pause" button (space by default) will select a random wrestler within the current promotion or group. While it does not let you select ANY random wrestler, period, it's still a less bothersome method than using the "Random Wrestler" button on the match set-up screen.

While selecting edit parts in the appearance edit menu of a created wrestler, Q will move up one page; and E will move down one page. While highlighting a layer part itself, X will delete that part. While highlighting a costume number, the name of a part (i.e. face, chest, body, etc.), or the layer part's color, pressing X will also let you copy and paste the selected item.

As said before, these prompts, at least for the select screen are included on the screenshots of the latest builds of the PS4 version; so that's an improvement at least. :V

Yeah, the devs really need to do better with providing basic information like that. Hopefully another goal of the UI upgrade is providing all the information, like the fact that you can enter numeric values manually in the CPU Logic screen.
