You can move someone and then hit tab to switch to someone else. You don't NEED to use both actions at the same time/consecutively.

It might be added in the expansion. It actually changes a lot of stuff and basically re-writes the engine.

I normally use "z" to zoom out to see the icon for whether a soldier can see the enemy, but it can still sometimes be tricky to get the target and soldier on the same screen. I believe that's the default key/in the base game.

Pretty sure it was an expansion feature, yeah.

Page 3 and 4 of the xcom manual has some useful keyboard shortcuts that might help make your life easier.

Manuals can be found on the 2k games webpage here.

For example, I use "Y" (overwatch) a lot when I play to set my goons on overwatch. This combined with tab and you can set your entire team on overwatch in a second. Very useful for missions with no timer where you want to wait for a patrol. Also, you overwatch a lot in xcom.

By the way. Can I ask that my character grows a beard while in med bay?

On the bottom of the screen, the abilities/actions are numbered. 1 is shoot, 2 is overwatch, etc.

Spacebar is also an "Accept this" button, so you can hit 2 and 2 again to confirm, or hit 2 and spacebar to confirm.
