Extra Hotkeys

Description
This simple mod for Civilization 6 adds some new hotkeys.
This mod does not affect saved games (you can use it with old saves)!
All hotkeys can be reassigned in the game settings.

New hotkeys:
Action
Hotkey
Pillage / Coastal raid / Repair
SHIFT+P
Pillage Road / Repair Road / Make Trade Route
CTRL+SHIFT+P
Re-Base / Transfer to Another City
SHIFT+R
Create/Exit Escort Formation
SHIFT+E
Upgrade Unit / Activate Great Person
U
Promote Unit
SHIFT+U
Form Corps
SHIFT+F
Form Army
CTRL+SHIFT+F
Cancel
SHIFT+C
Wake Up
SHIFT+W

* Extra bonus: You can heal ships using the default "H" hotkey.

If you need a hotkey for some action, let me know in the comments, I'll try to add it when I have time.
And let me know if you have any ideas what other actions can be combined with existing hotkeys.
Some actions can only be performed on certain units, so, it is safe to bind them into the one hotkey. Such as "pillage the hex" / "repair the hex". Because a worker can't pillage and a warrior can't restore. So, such actions will never appear together.

If you have any errors:
1. Please, try to reproduce the bug multiple times and find out under what conditions the bug appears.
2. Provide the content of the %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization VI\Logs\Database.log file in the comments.

I'm wondering if you add a hotkey for recommended improvement for builders?

Is it possible to create a similar mod for Civilization 7? It really needs one.

Just adding my vote to the "place pin" hotkey and making an additional request for a "build railroad" hotkey for engineers. Thanks!

any chance you could add a hot key for making a dedication? there is a bug that sometimes happens that makes the normal button unclick able braking the game and there doesn't seem to be any modsthat can be used to get around the bug aside from the force end button mod but that mod doesn't fix the bug just skips passed it

Excellent !
And the perfect way to implement it, a fantastic mod.

I wish some could do multiple things, like pillage would also harvest, and found a city would make the suggested improvement. Or simply have their own keybind, I wonder why some action did not get one. But hey, can’t have 50 of them for everything either ^^

Also, if I could daydream, I wish the game would show all the related keybinds in the tooltips when putting the mouse on an action ! I’m sure it’s possible, technically, but that’s just my uneducated guess though ^^

Anyway, both are nickpicking details.
Really, thanks much !

20 billion hours in this game and I've only just thought to check if there was a mod for the missing keybinds. Ah well better late than never! Stellar work mate.

a hotkey that skip turns other than enter. I can change it but it will always be Enter too and I can't quick end a turn other than with shift+enter. That would be awesome

A hotkey to place pins would be divine.

It is embarrassing not to have some of these added to the game. Thank You!
