Default Re: Some minor UI gripes

Well, I rather have many gripes with the new UI..
The game looks much much better now than Dom1, but overall I don't find the interface has been made much easier for the moment (but Ok I still have some adaptation time to get )

I agree on
- Dark background needed for identification of units - will try the transparency tip
- Not only unit stats should be aligned, but also Province stats..
Plus I have :
- Why has r-click been disabled to exit menus/windows ? Now I have either to scroll dooooooooooooown the spell list to click Exit button, or keep a finger near the Esc key..
- The hotkey list (key "?") should be accessible directly from the main screen - having to search what is the hotkey for the list kills the whole idea :eek !
- When typing keyboard isn't properly mapped but hardcoded in QWERTY mode - a pqin when you hqve q French keyboqrd Names have no Capitals either .. too bad for a Pretender God (a pretender god is way much feeble)
- There's no way to know from the main screen how many units your commanders have under their command ? (previous Shift-s key) ?
- Please make a real "end turn" button that ends turn in a click, and not 3 ! I know this has been done to have the same procedures in SP and MP, but frankly it's a bad idea.
99.99% of TBS games have a different "Save" and "Next Turn" buttons, why not have that ? This a real step backwards from Dom1 in SP (and whatever MP fans may say, 90%+ of players of any TBS only play SP..)
