Retreat Hotkey doesn't work?

from Sins Forums
I come from Company of Heroes, so I'm used to just tapping 'T' to tell my guys to get the hell outta Dodge. However, in Sins, it seems like the Retreat hotkey does not function. By default, the Tactics menu is F and Retreat is R. If I hit F, it opens up the Tactics menu fine, but hitting R afterwards does not send a Retreat order. However, a second F will Create Fleet, so it's not that subset of commands thats busted. I tried rebinding Retreat to T, to see if maybe it had some problem being bound to R, but that didn't work either. How can I get Retreat to work correctly without having to mouseclick the button? I don't mind if I need to use two hotkeys (one to open the Tactics menu, another to Retreat,) but I'd really like to have that on a hotkey.

Anyone ever get the Retreat hotkey to work, or does everyone just press the button? This game has bad click lag sometimes, so if the hotkey can be made to work I'd really appreciate some help :)

Ah ha, I thought something seemed amiss about that too, I couldn't remember if I had been able to mass-buy earlier so I just assumed Sins didn't have shift-click to mass-buy. Hope they fix all these keybinds in 1.03. Thanks!

Bump. Still doesn't work in 1.03 (at least not for me), even when assigning a new hotkey. It's pretty annoying since retreat is a pretty neat feature to use (especially in small scale battles).
