[Improvement] User Interface

[srad]

1. If I want to cycle through the information screens via the function keys (F1, F2, ...) I have to hit every function key twice (open - close). It would be nice if the already open screen closes if another function key is hit (like it was in Civ 4).

2. Shortcuts for the unit, research progress and city screen (upper left corner)?

3. Opening the unit, research progress and city screen via mouse needs a lot of clicks especially if you want them to access one after the other. Is it possible to have direct access to the screens via mouse? This applies also the information screens mentioned in point 1.

Another thing are the "not so common" orders for units - e.g. "Defense". I'm using this quite often and I have to do two clicks for this.
Three icons more on the left row will do no harm to have direct access to the orders.
