[civ2] Keyboard Shortcuts

[DPLuS]

Hi,

Having played Civ 2 a lot with a mouse, I am currently experiencing some strains on my hand....

I now play the game a lot with my keyboard,
but there are a few occasions when I cannot use the keyboard shortcuts:

When a window pops up telling me that city X has built an aquaduct (or whatever), I can zoom to the city.

But when I want to (C)hange production, I cannot use the "C"-button on my keyboard, because in the background, the game is still in "moving units"-mode.
A window pops up telling me that I'll have to close the city-window first.

On the other hand, when I'm in "viewing pieces"-mode, and I "enter" on a square with a city, I CAN use the keyboard:

"c" for changing production
"b" for rush buy...

Who knows how I can still use the keyboard, even when I use the "zoom to city"-feature?

And how can I sell items with keyboard, or change the resources settings in a city window??

I know all of these features could be done with the keyboard in CIV 1 !

Please advice,

Patrick

I'm not exactly an expert, but I don't believe you can do anything significant in the City Screen (like change prod.) without using the mouse, which is disappointing and painful.

Usually if you hold the alt or ctrl keys and press the letter of the button it should work. Also tab should move around. As well as Ctrl+Alt+Del. Hit this a few times if you get into a squeze

Yes, you can use "c" for changing production, and "b" for buying things.
I don't know what keyboard shortcut there is for selling items...

No, CTRL and ALT won't work...
