Comprehensive list of KeyCommands / QuickCommands

As the title indicates, I seek a list of all commands in the game.

There are a number of things I still haven'f figured out, like how to dump all my resources or queue activities.

A list of all commands would help me greatly.

Control-Shift-Down arrow dumps all.

WASD moves camera.

Backspace cycles faction colonies

Most of the other ones are cheats / debug:

Control-W is auto-win.

Number 1,2,3 etc switches you to another faction

"[" "]" Raise / lower your income by 10 k

"<" forces an auction.

Some of those are cheat keys!! Don't use those!!

Other key commands are:

+/- : change game speed

z : hide HQs and buildings. Helps to figure out where resources are if you're doing an underground nuke.

hold shift while placing building: allows you to place multiples at once.

c : go into claim mode

All of the cheating is disabled in multiplayer games .... Right ?

Yes, cheating is disabled in MP. I think I'm going to have it mar your results in the campaign.

Ctrl-Shift Q gives you 1000 of all resources. I discovered this by accident, that's the hotkey combo I have mapped to push-to-talk.

Can we have an option to turn the cheat hotkeys off?

any chance you could tell me how to turn these back on, to mess around in single player games?

How do I use WASD to move around the map? That is what other games use and I wish to conform to what my muscle memory already knows.

I highly recommend re-mapping the important ones to use with your left hand. Here is my setup, which modifies as few as possible from the defaults:

Frequent Hotkeys
Cycle Own HQs	SPACE
Cycle HQ	TAB
Claim Tile	C
Bid on Auction	B
Sell All Resources	2
Hide Buildings	3
Delete Building	4
Delete All Same Type	5
Solar Panel	Z
Wind Turbine	X
Geothermal	V
Water Pump	W
Ice Condenser	Y
Hydroponic Farm	F
Electrolysis Reactor	R
Metal Mine	S
Steel Mill	T
Quarry	Q
Dry Ice	D
Chemicals Lab	A
Glass Furnace	G
Electronics Factory	E

To move around the map, you have a choice of dragging the map window or scrolling by mouse movement to the edge of the window. You don't need to scroll around the map as much after the early scanning stages of the game. Use the TAB key to jump between enemy headquarters to keep tabs on what they are up to.

Since you spend a lot of time in this game adjusting resources, you really want those 4 easy keys (WASD) to be mapped to something you can't do as quickly with just your mouse. I find it much faster to drop resource buildings with a comination of the hotkeys and mouse.

On this topic, is there a shortcut to pay debt? When I play on a bad connection, lag makes spamming the "Pay Down Debt" button (or more accurately, getting the spam clicks to register) really difficult. I feel like holding down a key to pay debt would be easier to get past lag.
