So you're saying it's possible, by using the spacebar command to gain access to the arma1 command list (numbered 1 through 9) with all the commands for formation, action, target, engage, etc? If so I haven't found it. The only way to get this, afaik, is to select the team members, then hit either the button 1 through 9 on the keyboard - or conversely, hit backspace first and then select the team members you wish to issue orders to, then you have access to the old 1 through 9 menu. To add insult to injury, it seems that it is impossible to bind the backspace key to one that isn't two miles away from my left hand to something like the left control key - which would at least make this system more tolerable.
This is my problem, and others are having this issue as well, with the new command interface. For those of us who were happy to use the old mouse and wheel system to command, it only took a few seconds to issue complex commands. Now, it requires you to take your eyes off the screen, to search for the right key. It makes it farm more time consuming and in my opinion, is a step backwards. If someone could point me to a key bind or a solution to this I'd be quite interested. Otherwise, I would like it addressed in the next patch..
While I know this is OT for this thread, shouldn't there be a way to script this as an add action function?
