Status: offline 		How to switch between unit and group view if one don't have a numeric keypad?

To the devs: please don't assume everybody would use a Windows desktop PC with full fledged keyboard for playing CMANO. I run it on a Macbook Pro in a VM.

Status: offline 		Yeah you've got to have a menu option for every action in the UI. That's basic. In this case I now remember reading something about this unit/group view thing some time ago, then promptly forgot about it. Since then I've found myself hunting for the menu option several times when the need arose and, not finding it, just shrugging it off as a bad design choice.

Page up... I'll have to remember that.

And no... telling someone to go buy a new keyboard or other accessory to make use of this feature is really not the right answer either. The right answer is obvious.

Status: offline 		I would like to have a dev answer for this request. Can we look forward to get unit view tied to another key which is available on non-enhanced keyboards with the upcoming patch? This feature shouldn't be much work.

Thank you.
