[Request] Shortcut keys for Unit Upgrade and Escort

[lifemare]

Can anyone help me with the code for DefaultKeyUpHandler? I know i can use the UI.GetHeadSelectedUnit operation (thanks to @chaorace and his awesome CQUI) but i have no idea how to find the IDs for Unit Upgrade and Escort.

If you look at the functions ShowPromotionsList and OnPromoteUnit in unitpanel.lua should give you an idea.
Also look at function OnUnitActionClicked_EnterFormation or search flle for formation.

If this doesn't help enough let me know, I'll have more time later to be more specific(got to take kids to school now)

Thank you gyogen! That was very helpful.

I managed to get the Promotion shortcut working by using the simple LuaEvents.UnitPanel_PromoteUnit();

I'm having a hard time however using the Formation code in a meaningful way. I'm guessing the correct function for this is:

UnitManager.RequestCommand( pSelectedUnit, UnitCommandTypes.ENTER_FORMATION, tParameters );

But i have no idea how to make this work.

Also, i forgot to mention in my OP, but i would also like to get a shortcut to Wake up fortified units. But the only code i found in UnitPanel is for refreshing icons:

SetUnitEntryStatusIcon(unitEntry, "ICON_DEFENSE");

Excuse this noob for stealing your attention from your own modding. Give me a chance to repay you if you ever find yourself needing a hand in the art department (my background is in Design).

I already have a mod that assigns an action and wakes a unit - Fortified Alert (though now I call it alert guard) You can look at it to see how I did it. ( though I added a new operation so had to do it a round about way.

Just realized I totally misread, you can still look at the mod for idea, but you would just need to add a short cut key, then have get the selected unit and issue command to wake

Hello, for anyone who is searching for ways how to get hotkeys for actions like pillage, upgrade unit, promote unit, form corps/army, create/exit escort, etc - I have created a mod named Extra Hotkeys, it is available in the steam workshop. You can also find sources there.
