Center screen on Unit

from GalCiv4 Forums

Folks;

      Played Galciv to death back in the Galciv 2 days!  loved it.  I have done my first playthrough and like the game a lot, but it has one very bad UI element.  It's very hard to see what fleet has been selected and worse, it lacks the very simple inclusion of a center on unit command.  I mean, every 4x game i have played over 30 years has had this.  It makes playing larger games very annoying after a while.  Is this on the development timeline?  Or am i missing the obvious way to do this?  There don't seem to be any mods to fix this.  Thanks!

Thanks to Draver on the discord channel I have got this working.  Here is the deal, the center on unit command is mapped as you could expect to the 'C' key.  However, 'C' is also mapped to auto-colonize and seems to take precedence of the center screen command.  the solution is to remap center screen in the key map to something not used, i chose '.' and it works fine.  Man i suffered with this :)

You're welcome ;) Old-spider also gave a pretty good advice of using ctrl-c as an alternative for the Auto-Colonize key under the Ships tab in the Input menu. Good advice from the discordians!
