CTH cursor will not show anything different, but check by pressing the 'F' key. You should see a difference in CTH percentage (and APs used).
If still no change, go to single fire mode, aim fully, and then switch to auto-fire, to see if the aim portion is applied correctly.

Is there a key to pump a shotgun? Currently I can only do it when I see an enemy, and I'd much rather do it *before* I see an enemy...

PGUP Additional method of changing stances in the order of Prone, Crawl, and Standing. Pressing it while Standing next to a building with a flat roof will cause the Merc to climb onto the roof.

Shift + E is for dropping all stuff but LBE.

I can't rembemer it, and it's not listed in any of the references...

All depends on what you mean by a Crate, if you mean an ammo carrier crate then that works in a totally different way..
I meant the crates you find in tactical...

A bit of a question here since I didn't see what I'm looking for in the hotkey guide, was there a movement hotkey to force mercs to stay in a stack movement formation and not space apart?

I'm just asking because I could have sworn I read a post like 6 months ago describing such a hotkey, there's just times when I'd find it useful.

There are 2 lists of hotkeys on the Wiki site, and both are missing some shortcuts.
I made a new one, which is complete (sorted logically, corrected some stuff, all hotkeys tested).
Here it is: LINK (You can view it directly, or Download with the button to the far right)

Let me know if I missed something.
Tnx to the original makers of the Wiki lists and everyone who posted hotkeys here.

Updated the Hotkey list.
@ Buggler, tnx for the input. I didn't add all of those new ones, since my document is already crammed up, and I wanna keep it's size to 3 pages (2 for the important stuff, 3rd for the cheats) so it can be printer friendly. The new important and usefull stuff is included, but I feel that a shortcut for the credits (for example) isn't very important.
@ Sandro, tnx, also included the "SHIFT + Right Mouse Button" for ejecting ammo.

EDIT: Updated version: I included all the hotkeys. Now I believe that I collected every single one.

Is there a hotkey for toggling the display between interiors/exteriors of buildings? Somehow I must've hit something, because no matter how many mercs I shove in a room, the roof merely remains transparent and refuses to disappear. It's rather frustrating. Alt+Q, which seemed like my best hope, doesn't work, and merely acts like Q.

It's fixed itself. Not sure if it was some fooling around with tab or quitting and reopening the game, since I could've sworn that I had already done so and it didn't do anything. Oh well, it's fine now.

Thanks! I've lurked around here some to find answers and SCI's, but never got around to making an account until now.

If I recall correctly, Ctrl + Alt + Shift + T might do the trick. Yes, we do run out of shortcuts, and go to absurd lengths to find new ones.

Yes. IIRC something like shift+x or shift+ctrl+x os such.
(in stable release there is a tooltip showing the shortcut on the according option in the preferences screen)

Has the CTRL + D been removed? Before you could turn the "enemies drop all items" on/off with it. I know it was strange to have a hotkey for setting which you could only set before the start of a game, but for my playing style it was perfect.

I like to play on easy settings but with permadeath. (so it's a lot harder than as insane with savescumming) Having drop all enabled is essential especially at early stages, but I like to turn it off once in a while. For example, if I attack a group of enemies in a wilderness sector, I turn "drop all" on, as my mercenaries can collect all the items in the battle. When defending sectors, or taking new sectors when I already have taken at least one, I turn it off, so it also simulates that the rest of the equipment is used to equip the militia.

Now I can no longer do that. Was the hotkey really removed? I tried the latest dev version from a few days ago.

This also brings me a new idea: what about making this setting more complex than binary? For example:
0 - drop all deactivated (Vanilla)
1 - drop all active, but only when attacking non-city sector without militia
2 - drop all active, but only when attacking sector without militia
3 - drop all active, only when attacking
4 - drop all always active

.. or something similar.

Yes, sandro moved it to the campaign settings ages ago.
Btw, there's no need to 'simulate' equipping militia by changing the drop settings ... just equip militia.

The only way to change this during a game is the use of a debugger.
The variable is called "gGameOptions.fEnemiesDropAllItems".

Is there a key to turn on/off Rifle LAM-Flashlight? I don't find any difference between having it with batteries and without batteries (though unproportional camo penalty is always present), so I get impression that maybe it should be turned on somehow.. Cannot find any hotkey combination for this.

It can only be turned on/off via item transformation. Note that during the day on surface sectors, light is out, even if the flashlight says it is on (because no point whatsoever, and this saves batteries).
