Some shortcuts that make MTW more enjoyable (clicking things on the panel is way too slow i find).

"G": group/ungroup: Vital for organising your units in the interface and the map
"F,E,H": The engage mode shortcuts and the hold position shortcut; vital for effectively control in the heat of the fight
"Control+R": The shortcut for ordering units to run if they march and march if they run - essential.
"Backspace": Cancel orders/Stop shortcut. Again essential for effective control in the heat of a fight.
"A": Fire at will/cease fire shortcut for ranged units
"S": Skirmish mode on/off shortcut.

Minor correction on Noir's otherwise sound post: "S" is not a toggle - it only turns skirmish ON. It should be grouped with F and E, as Skirmish, hold Formation and Engage at will are three options in the same class, selecting any one will deselect the others. A and H for fire At will and Hold position ARE toggles.

Also C, O and W will select your formation type: Close, Open or Wedge

NOT TO BE CONFUSED with Ctrl-C (select all Cavalry), Ctrl-O (rOut!) and Ctrl-W (Withdraw). One slip with the second one can lose you the battle if the circumstances are right

I never use Ctrl-R in the heat of battle, as I always worry it may be the Rout order and generally don't have time to grab the manual before the Varangians reach my front line
