Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars Keyboard Controls

Strategy games → Part of the Command & Conquer collection →

Tiberium Wars gives orders as a held letter plus a right-click — A to attack-move, F to assault, D to reverse, G to force a move — while force attack stays on Ctrl and a right-click. Q grabs every combat unit, the sidebar tabs run along E to U, and Alt either lays waypoints or sets a stance. Taken from EA's printed manual and keyboard reference card.
