:backhand_index_pointing_down: DESCRIBE THE ISSUE IN DETAIL (below). LIMIT TO ONE BUG PER THREAD

Shift+E does not work. I can select all Archery Ranges and make 5 archers by clicking SHIFT+Q, I can make 5 skirmishers by clicking SHIFT+W, I can not make Elephant Archers/Cavalry Archers/Mounted Crossbow by clicking SHIFT+E. I can hold down Shift and manually click the unit icon and make 5 of the EA/CA/MX.

Same goes for Siege Workshop and Scorpions - that does not work, same goes for Camels in Stable. I’ve tried this with Vikings, Varangians, Berbers, Bengalis, Turks. All the other buttons work, SHIFT+Q, Shift+W, Shift+R, Shift+F. Castles don’t make 5 Petards etc.

I tried resetting hotkey, I went to Archery Range, the default for CA/MX is E, I unset it, set it again - no change. Shift+E is a dead key.

Here’s the steps to reproduce the issue:

  1. Use default grid hotkeys for buildings

  3. See if it works.

5 units queued per click. Someone else has reported it works for them so this could be OS-specific.

Totally my bad! Shift+E had been rebound as hotkey for Outposts.
