Is that my list or the one from Chem Kid?

For the level 1 hotkeys, Chem Kid's.

Both omit totally the level 2 hotkeys which become available from within the "Info" module.

Ok Alfred, what do you mean by the "Info" module? Inquiring minds want to know.

When you enter the "Info" module, instead of clicking on the various buttons to access info, such as future arriving air units or list of sunk ships, you can press a hotkey instead.

Perhaps I've not captured my question well .... though thanks for the hot key listing ....

In the past, I remember a screen which permitted a fairly detailed overlay of search coverage (not specific to individual search arcs, were complete circles of coverage. And if multiple locations had overlapping coverage from different zones, these showed up darker.

Can't remember if this was part of AE itself, or one of the tools ?

Anyone have a hint ?

Have you tried the shortcut key "Z" which says "display search arcs".  Or key "6" which says "display sub and ship patrol"?  If neither is what you are after, you have your answer.  It isn't in the game.

I think the map in Tracker allowed for large scale display of search coverage

F3 shows the plane radius, but there's no shading for overlap.

Thanks for the info .....

Did this. When I mash the 'M' key, I still get game credits rather than the hot key listing ? What did I screw up ?

Follow on question to the hot keys and specifically "toggle Combat Summaries on/off"

I have exclusively played two day turns (as Japan) and don't want the Summaries ON as I start the turn and go about taking care of other real life items .... I come back once the turn has run. Use Combat Reporter to get me the summary along with the cool map linking it does.
However, a number of Allied players swear by Combat Summaries.
- When did the option get added to toggle summaries ON/Off ?
- Can either player invoke this ?
- in other words, can I as Japan see to it that it is off for my portion and the Allied player insure it is ON for theirs. Guessing both have to capture it at the start of the 001 replay ?

Is there any way to zoom in the map please? Reason is if I play it at higher resolutions it is hard to read things without being able to zoom.

Not in game, but some of the latest Windows OS have a lens utility which reportedly would help.

I too suffer from this problem.

I run the game in a much lower resolution than the native res of my 4k monitor.

These are the resolution switches in my shortcut command line: -px1680 -py1050
