Then you can think and act ( in battles ) very, very fast. Bravo.

See. Others use it too Gilrandir...

Perhaps you are overestimating my merits. The chief reason why I shy away from key usage is that I have been practicing with battles for five years or so without any awareness of the functions that keys can perform. For instance, I never knew one could press ALT and make the (horse) archers charge, so I used them in a melee only after they ran out of the ammo. Thus one may say that I have never developed a habit of using keys rather than learnt to win deliberately avoiding them.

I think not, especially if you play on any level above normal !

I can't honestly say I use many of the keyboard keys either, but I am aware of what they do...

That is their best function at that point anyway, unless you withdraw them to allow reserves on. I am surprised you were completely unaware of that function though.
It applies to Foot Archers too and they can be passable foot soldiers when they have good Armour and Weapon bonuses.
