I think the biggest problem with that key has been clarity.
People try it and it doesnt do what was claimed because its often not as clear as its been stated in this thread about which result you will get in which screen.

Thanks vfb! Very useful.

Max: I didn't see the words 'battle setup', probably because I've tested the tab thing multiple times before with no joy when people claimed it worked, without specifying it only works in battle setup. Like Gandalf said, a string of people who weren't being very clear.

Thanks for the tips! The hotkey list was VERY useful. Although I was using many of the hotkeys, the ones I was not using, the n, tab, and f keys, are helping a lot!

I typed the Magic Path Boosting Chart on manual pages 283-284 into an Excel spreadsheet for ease of manipulation. I also created a version of the table sorted more to my liking, colorized, with some notes. I want to post these two spreadsheets to give back to the Dominions 3 community, but since the material is copyrighted, I need to find out how to get permission from the copyright holder to post them. Does someone know who/where to ask to get permission to post such material?

Edi might know, since his reorganization of the modding manual started unofficial.

At least the early manuals had a typo. Blood Stone boosts Earth, not Blood. The manual also doesn't list Crystal Shield, which casts Power of the Spheres (+1 to all paths in battle) for its wielder.

Thanks for the info! My manual does show Blood Stone boosting Earth. I noticed Crystal Shield myself, and added it to my notes section. I did not feel it should be added to the main chart, since it only helps battle spells.
