Is there a current listing of hot keys lurking about .... can't seem to find my old one ......

Have a look a ChemKid's solution. Pops up instead of the credit screen (which is shown on startup).

I accidentally discovered one day that there is a hotkey that displays a screen listing all the hotkeys.

Can't remember it now, but it may be F11....don't hit F12 as that will shut the game down.

Just tried F-11, also tried with Shift, Alt and Ctrl keys - no hotkey list.

Here are the hotkeys from the manual:

EDIT: something in the list turned on the strikethrough in the last through lines - anyone know how to get rid of it?
RE-EDIT: fixed the strikethrough, thanks to Ambassador

Damn now I have to accidentally find it again......

Literally blew me away when I found it.

Only figures I would forget it.

It's the [ s ] code (without the spaces). [s]It gives the strikethrough until you cancel it[/s] with [ / s ] (without the spaces).

One of the shortcuts (which increases message delay by one increment) is Ctrl+s, which you wrote with the brackets, hence activating the BB code.[:)]

Small correction - I did not write the list, I copied it from the manual and pasted it in. Just unfortunate that it caused the strikethrough.
Will go back in and try to change the code for the hotkey

You're welcome.

Found it again!

Its the 'M' key:

Hans, you must be running the ChemKid mod mentioned by Reg above. I am playing stock Scenario 1 and the M key brings up the game credits.

Never played a Chemkid mod, although his descriptions of China are making me interested in taking a look at his mod.

I am playing Focus Pacific which is based on Between the Storms which is based on Babes.

How can a mod which is simply a scenario with a different map (stock art extended map here) cause the old credit page that appeared with the 'M' key to suddenly run in the game start up routine.

I was thinking that only a change to the executable file could do that and those all come from michalem.

Either way its an awesome screen to be able to access in game.

If you can't access it in game, copy it and post it on your side monitor, or print it and post it on your wall.

Does anyone know which sound file is associated with the credits/hot key page?

Thank you.

not getting search arc coverage with the z key ..... Anyone have a clue why not ... screenshot of the rev I'm running

The list does not display all the current hot keys.

Is that my list or the one from Chem Kid?
