How do you increase the distance between buildings?

It used to be shift+z/x but now that switches unit to be built.

Thanks, perhaps some one should update or delete the various wikis, tutorials, and images floating around.

AFAIK, b/n keys are only valid if you use the "Building Hotkeys" (is the widget called this?) from newer BA versions. If is it disabled, the x/z combinations still work. So wikis and tutorials are still valid for people which don't use the widget.

Anyone can edit the wiki, including you!

As far as I know, the wiki doesn't host game specific content anymore and the pages I assume are you are referring to are marked as deprecated.

There will one day be a tutorial & singleplayer mode (for ba:r), for now if you want keybinds you'll have to read the link I gave you; it's stickied in the BA forum.

The interfaces/hotkeys of spring games are getting more different from each other. But imo not so different that a "spring commands page" would be completly useless.

http://springrts.com/wiki/Balanced_Anni ... ing_Orders
Maybe rename that to "Spring:Giving_Orders"?
edit:
Seems there already is http://springrts.com/wiki/Using_Orders
just remove few the game-specifique parts. /edit

From threads such as http://zero-k.info/Forum/Thread/5666 , http://zero-k.info/Forum/Thread/4669 it still is relevant.
Some things like shift=queue will probally always be shared among all spring games.

@pepe, that image is ancient. It misses out many BA specific keybinds and also contains some that BA unbinds/replaces and some that engine has (long) deprecated.

Make UI widget that's shaped like a keyboard, kill two birds with one stone.

Make it modular enough to be added to every game too, this would really help when I go to try a new random game (don't play much spring, just new releases to see what's going on)
