The primary reason for this is because this game is amazing and consumes an Endless amount of time, if I triggered the end of my turns with the space bar, the name "Endless Space" would have extra meaning

Seriously though, I did find myself wishing space bar would end the turn, I hardly ever used the keyboard to end turn because the "enter" key is the opposite side from where my hand usually rests (since I occasionally use shift or ctrl for some selections in the game). Making both enter and space end the turn would be sufficient

I assume that we will eventually be able to have custom key bindings so this may not matter!

I found myself pressing the space bar to end the turn as well, obviously to no avail. It would be great if custom key bindings made this an option in the future.

That would indeed make ending turns easy.. er. But is it really so hard to just press the button in the lower left of the screen?

Dont get me wrong. I would like this implemented.

pressing the enter key on the numpad ends turns but I agree, a custom key bindings would help out. I like to use spacebar to finish moving my ships around.

I'd also like tab to cycle through idle fleets and F1-F5 for the menus at the top.

Indeed.

For as clean as the UI is the lack of hotkeys is a bit of a head scratcher to me.

Custom key bindings has been in a G2G vote. (click)

It was not chosen as winner, but the fact that it was in the vote means it will be implemented at some moment. - Which I can only applaud.

Another thing yet to be implemented... the list is long, but at least we can hope to have it in the game on day

I don't really understand how those votes are grouped. Adding keyboard shortcuts seems a much smaller task than adding new content, especially if there are potential balancing concerns.

I like the idea of G2G, but meh, sometimes low hanging fruit should just be picked.

I like the spacebar to end turns idea. Custom key bindings would be better.

I'd vastly prefer custom key binds over the alternative. This gives all players the control they desire, instead of forcing the use of a specific key down our throats. (I for one don't like space as an end turn button - just personal preference)

Yeah, I agree - custom keybinds would be fine!
