Love UV. More keyboard shortcuts for WiTP?

Dear Matrix,
I'm really looking forward to WiTP. UV is a fabulous game -- the best wargame I've played in years. I know you're working very very hard on the new game, and I know you've got much bigger priorities than this, but I hope you won't mind if I put in a humble request for more keyboard shortcuts. Yes, I use the existing shortcuts in UV, but my hands still hurt from all the mouse-clicking. Keyboard shortcuts help me (and, doubtless, other aging grognards) immeasurably. A few friendly suggestions:
Left-right Arrow keys or TAB key to move forward or backward through a list of planes/TFs at a base;
Up-down arrow keys, or letter keys, to select among missions (Naval Attack, Airfield Attack, Port Attack, etc.) and/or among choices like Load Troops, Load Fuel, etc;
Number keys to set CAP/NAV search levels (1 for 10%, 2 for 20%, etc);
Maybe use the Enter key to open a TF screen for the currently highlighted TF, or to open the base screen for the currently selected base?
Maybe a H key to center screen at your 'home base', or even a hotkey to allow you to cycle among bases, centering the screen each time? Perhaps a similar hotkey to cycle among TFs?
Thanks again for making one of the best wargames in history.
