You will then see a menu with all your current hotkeys. Move your screen to the 'view' you want to hotkey to, and then press the hotkey sequence you'd like to use for the location. This will get you to the right place on the menu. Then, press {{k|z}} and the hotkey will be all set up! Likewise, to change the name of a hotkey while in the hotkey menu, highlight the hotkey in question, then press {{k|n}}, then input a name and press {{k|enter}}. |

Currently, it is only possible to assign a hotkey to units that are civilians, as attempting to "view" other types of units leads to the description screen and not the profile screen. As a workaround, you can instead assign a hotkey to an item carried by that unit, using {{k|v}}-{{k|i}}-{{k|Enter}} | ||
