Cheers all, how about queue the building order?
Civ 5 Keyboard Shortcuts?

When you open the city screen, there's a Check-box in the lower right of the build screen saying "Add to Queue". Then you can add/remove/change order of multiple items.
I know that I'm resurrecting an old thread (instead of creating a new one for my question), but this thread contains good info on some undocumented keyboard shortcuts.
One of the Civ IV keyboard features that seem to be missing in the new one is the ability to save/load production queues, as well as the ability to create/extend a city's production queue using only a keyboard.
Does anyone know what keyboard shortcuts work within the City Management screen?
BTW, since I use a Logitech G13 and mouse (currently a MS Sidewinder X8) to play Civilization, I created a G-Series Key Profile back when I started Civ IV. I have just started updating it for Civ 5, but if anyone wants a copy when I'm finished, let me know and I'll upload it somewhere.

I have a G11 and love it, I'll take a copy of Civ4 once you get it done for Civ 5 also. You can attach a file here in the forums.
I've attached the Civ5 profile to the Logitech Profile (for use with G13 and other G-Series keyboards) thread.
Enjoy!
Sadly there is no keyboard shortcut for easier additions to the city build queue. I really hope they add those back in as now that we have up and down arrows to shift things in the queue, having the ability to ctrl / alt click something to the top of a long queue would be a godsend.
Another shortcut idea suggestion for implementation for the city build queue would be a shortcut to having to click the small arrows to move something up or down. I would suggest just mousing over the element and using Page UP / Down to move items around in the queue. I can't count the number of times I have tried rearranging the queue, only to fumble an item (up, down, up, up, down, up, up, up) to get it to the point I want it built at.

@Bezurn: All good suggestions that I would like to see as well!
But my top request is for a shortcut, or option setting, to default that queue checkbox to ON!
[rant]What was the reasoning for defaulting it to off every time you load a game? Couldn't they at least include the current state of that checkbox in the savefile?!?![/rant]

Yes that too is bothersome, but at least you only have to change it once when you start / load a game. Having the city screen preference saved in a config file would be sweet. I wonder if there is a way to mod any of these city screen ideas into the game now? Or will we have to wait for the SDK?

Actually in CivIV it's Alt+6-0 for build queues, it might work in CiV

I often make mistakes when moving units with the mouse, so I would like to switch to keyboard control. However, I always start a move with a right mouse click to see the blue line which shows the movement extent. Is there a keyboard control for that?
