Key: R for Refresh, what does it do?

I've looked in the Keycommands file, and tried to figure out what some of the more obscure ones do. Some I can't find any mention of in the Manual apart from the chapter on keyboard commands, like this one:

R - Refresh the display of the current unit

Something technical about repainting the Window or what? [&:]

It does exactly what it says. I don't remember why it was added.

<CONTROL> R on the other hand, was added for our artist. It forces a refresh of all the graphics and fonts on the map.

Ok thanks for that Ralph - so I can assume it is not something the player would use too often, and would be safe to remap this to for instance 'Next Unit'?

And remap the refresh to for instance Shift+R or even Ctrl+U.

thanks!

I would think so.
