Alarkif,

Right click on an object when it is selected to see all the applicable orders. This will help you to learn the hotkeys. Also make sure you have the help text on as it will allow you to find the orders you want faster. 'N' to re-name a planet when selected. Right click also allows easy access to many screens like cargo or the construciton queue.

There is simultaneous ofc.

The planet stats are fluff right now.

The return key is enabled on many windows but not all. Also note you can dbl-click on most items to select and close.

System display options under Empire Options is where you can turn off colony type selection. It's really only important if you're using ministers or something to ensure they build what you want.

One turn's worth is less necessary as we have construction point spillover, but I guess for situations where you want to occupy the queue for just 1 turn it would be helpful still.

You can make your own hotkeys.
