Civ 5 Keyboard Shortcuts?

[dmix]

The manual said that all the keyboard shortcuts would be in a readme.txt with the game, but when I downloaded it off Steam, this wasnt the case.

Can someone post the keyboard shorts? Or at least the most useful ones?

I have mind-RSI from working too many 12hr days on a computer. I need to avoid the mouse.

 

[dmix]

Never mind I found them.

Thanks for posting this. I've been frustrated at the lack of keyboard shortcuts, and couldn't even find these through mouseover.

They work for me...sometimes.

I have to use the right control and then press crtl and y (or r) at the same time (you can't press one and then the other). It usually takes me four or five times to get it to work. I hope this is on a bug fix list somewhere?

I put the shortcuts in to an easier to read/print pdf here:

Thanks lodester. Looks good.

This may already be known but I just discovered that if I hover over a hex with the mouse pointer and press the 'n' key you get a description of the the tile.

There are a couple of undocumented shortcuts. On my PC, at least, the numpad keyboard lets you move units in all six directions. In addition, arrow keys let you cycle among city detail screens. Note sure if End is documented, but it brings me to my capital's city detail screen.

In my last game, in the mouseover information i was able to see who is owning a tile, however in my current game the mouseover information does not contain this information.
Is there a shortcut or option for that?

I've looked all over and can't find where the key is for taking Screenshots.

I'm tired of capturing the screen and saving it to Photoshop, and I hate running IRFanview in the background!

Help?

Just hit Y, R or G. No Ctrl needed.

 

[Pilotis]

Alt R doesn't work for me. I have to use Shift Control R (Can't reme,ber how I found that...)

 

[charon2112]

ctrl+R and ctrl+Y don't work for me. but ctrl+G (for the grid), does...

 

[milk steak]

That's because you don't need to use Ctrl. Just hit R, G, or Y.

You just saved my life...thanks!!

What about the Ctrl-Alt-Shift + mouse left/right click commands? Are those still in Civ5?

 

[Technoluddite]

There's also an undocumented shortcut of Alt-Q to Retire. Be warned this is instant affect with no confirmation dialog, so be sure you really mean it!

A couple of things not listed. These have been retained from the early versions of Civ.

C = Center screen on current unit. If you pan the screen around then hit C, it instantly centers that unit on screen.

W = Wait for orders. Focuses on the next unit that requires orders instead of the current one. It will come back to the original unit eventually. However it stays on this unit if it's the only one left in the action list. Different from hitting the space bar which means "no orders" and takes it off the list of units that require orders for this turn.
