Keyboard controls during battle

Gentlemen,

first and foremost, much praise for ETW! Definitely a big step forward, and even as a rock solid afficionado of ancient and medieval warfare, I find myself strangely enthralled by this rigid and set-piece form of warfare... it reminds me of chess a lot.

However - when using the minimal UI both during land and sea battles, have you people been successful in issuing orders to your units via the key commands? Things like turn left/right, increase and decrease sails, step forward or backward, different formations... all of these don't work for me and I have to resort to using the mouse or the full interface.

Has anybody experienced the same problem?
