Problem with Shift-D shortcut

[morchuflex]

Hello.

I've just upgraded from Vanilla to Conquests and it rocks, but I've a strange problem with the shift-D keyboard shortcut. In Vanilla, I used it to pick the civ with which I want to discuss business. Now, it still does what I expect, but only occasionally. If I press it while I still have workers requiring orders, it seems to set them to some automatic (and probably futile...) task.
Can anyone help me clean this mess?

Shift-D is a worker action to automate: Clean Damage.
The active unit cannot be a worker if you want to use the shortcut key for Diplomacy.

All right... Thanks.

The diplo shortcut in c3c is shift e

That's for the espionage screen. If you want to always get the screen to pick a civ to talk to, do ctrl-shift-d. Or click on the little D next to the info box.

Oops, confused that. But why do you press 3 different keys instead of 'F4'?

Because F4 does not bring up the diplo screen - it brings up the foreign advisor screen....

Instead of using shortcuts for something like the diplomacy screen, why not just press the button?

Yes,but double clicking one of the leaderheads allows you to talk with them.

Clicking on the D next to the Information Box gets you into the diplomacy screen every time.

the F4 screen only shows a max or 8 leaders though. So if there's a game with more civs, shift-D or constant rearranging of leaders in F4 screen (bothersome) is necessary...
