Currently i found these, i didn't find any documentation to it, so i post it here to let know others:

quick periscope control - with shift
precise periscope control - with ctrl

toggle TAC - TAB

user charts - E
radio messages - I
capitain orders - K

stopwatches - O

teleport to bridge - shift+U

man the deck gun - F5

man the FLAK gun - F6

Battle stations - F7

TC 1 - shift+-
TC 512 - shift++

standard (slow) emerge - R
Blow Ballast - shift+R
periscope depth - F
current depth - shift+F
deeper - V
crash dive (more aggresive "deeper") - shift+V (better twice as once often does nothing in my sessions before even after complete reinstall)

toggle minimize log window - shift+L

remove HUD - shift+Z

Advanced weather conditions - shift+B

current speed - shift+M

show ruder - C (enhanced sh5 HUD only)

FPS - ctrl+F8

For 'Crash Dive' I would recommend setting up a hotkey in TDW's Options File Editor Viewer.
I use the 'X' key as it is easy to find, when every second counts.

Yep, as you wish

i got used to default since i like that with shift you have everything on the same keys but more intensive

This could be useful thread indeed...The way to go also would be to edit stock F1 helping screen available in the game...

Something like this...

That'd be awesome Vecko!

Ahead Slow in seems to me to be a bit fast at nearly 7 knots.
One way to get around this is to setup a hotkey using TDW's Option File Editor Viewer > Fuel Tab
The default setting around 7.5 knots is pretty close to Ahead Slow.
Using a hotkey for example like 'U' this can then be used to customize a slower knot speed.
It could even be set at 1 knot for escaping DD's after a torpedo attack as an extreme example.
Used with the '@' key for 'All Stop' this give you 2 keys for creeping slowly away using start and stop.

I can not change any hotkeys. how did you menage to it so ?

Hi risen
In TDW's OFEV go to the Crash Dive Tab and click on Hotkey which will open as showing in the picture.

Then go to File and Save the change.
There is a OFEV PDF in the TWoS Documentation folder.

Jus a small correction because this can potentially mislead some...It's double-click on "hotkey"...
