Does anybody have a list of keyboard shortcuts, other than what is included in the documentation provided with the GOG version? I used to play a patched version on an old computer that included some undocumented keyboard shortcuts. I do not use keyboard shortcuts much, other than the "D" key for ending a unit's move, but there was one very useful shortcut to speed up the game when using an engineer to breach fortress walls.

I often build a large army to take a fortified city, lots of artillery and scouts for cannon fodder. I will use one engineer, the odd time a second one, and turn by turn carefully creep him up to the wall. The problem is, when you have moved him, you have to click dozens of times to cycle through each active unit until you return to the engineer again. This is extremely tedious, and if you click too quickly, you miss him and have to go through all over again to get back to him. The keyboard shortcut I used to employ allowed you to bypass all other units, which made your engineer moves very quick. I would love to find and use this particular keyboard shortcut again, and if this post is answered, any other player who has never used it will love it.

I'd just like to second the plea for a description of ANY keyboard shortcuts.

I can't believe how GREAT this game is and how much at the same time it is hindered by the need to click everywhere (e.g. on the industry screen...)!

These are the ones I remember

F5 = Civilian Adviser
F6 = Military Adviser
F7 = Naval Adviser

Holding CRTL while assigning any subsidy to a minor nation will set it to the minimum needed to become the favored trading partner

Thanks, especially that CTRL bit is interesting since I had no idea about it :D

Is there a keyboard shortcut for End Turn? Couldn't find one listed anywhere, including on the list in the tech tree.

Sorry to bump an old thread, but this one wasn't answered yet and I think some might benefit.

The go-to-next-sapper shortcut is "S"

Thank you! That sapper shortcut is the one I was really looking for. Sorry to take so long to reply; I haven't visited the forum for some time. However, I have been playing my GOG games steadily.

The paper Imperialism 2 manual doesn't list any hot key for end turn. Don't know about the first game.

Some others

X - centre on players country
C - centre on selected unit
F2 - Quick save
F3 - Quick Load
F10 - Army Book
F11 - Navy Book

1-5 will take you through the Transport, industry, trade screens etc

I found this:
