Teleport shortcut keys

Maybe the map moves smoothly on your computer. On mine, it has always been an unpleasant chore. Just as the mouse starts to grab it a slide, it will go wonky.

Having hotkeys (ESPECIALLY RETURN TO PORT OF CALL) would help alleviate that significantly. You don't need to see the map after a month, to know where you want to TP to.

It's been many months we've had the loading screen errors. Just having working hot keys for the map (which probably should have been there to begin with) would help.

I agree with the other post regarding the "Cannot teleport in battle" error I get for 5 seconds AFTER the +0 Rep shows up. Particularly annoying when there are no other red dots on compass at all. Again, having working hot-keys for teleport would help work-around that bug as well.

If there were a way they could make the map page open instantly without the 1.3 second animation AND have the map zoom out so you could see the whole thing AND not require mouse to move all the way over to the map section AND have it be telepathic and know what you wanted to click, then I could see MAYBE not worrying about having hotkeys.

Of course, they might do something like force a Yes/No dialog (which doesn't help the loading screen error) forgetting to allow Enter/ESC to function as OK/Cancel should, again. Hopefully they would remember to add another modifier (like Shift) to bypass the confirmation dialog, if they do that.

Possibilities (what I initially sortof expected to see):

Alt-T Tortuga
Alt-R Port Royal
Alt-P Padres del Fuego
Alt-C Cuba
Alt-K Kingshead
Alt-F Ile d'Etable de Porc
Alt-S Isla Avaricia
Alt-E Escape to port of call

then without confirmation dialogs:
Shift-Alt-T Tortuga
Shift-Alt-R Port Royal
Shift-Alt-P Padres del Fuego
Shift-Alt-C Cuba
Shift-Alt-K Kingshead
Shift-Alt-F Ile d'Etable de Porc
Shift-Alt-S Isla Avaricia
Shift-Alt-E Escape to port of call

The more I think about this, the more awesome this idea seems.
