[WOTC] Ability Shortcuts
Ever wanted to fire at a unit in a large crowd without targeting them first?
Tired of tabbing through twenty mobs to find the needle in the haystack?
This mod adds ability shortcut icons to every unit flag on the battlefield.
Click one to instantly open the confirmation screen, pre-targeted on that unit.
Features
- Shows ability shortcuts on units when the toggle is enabled.
– If realtime is enabled, shortcuts stay visible. Otherwise, toggle to re-show. - Fully configurable toggle key(s) – the key is right-shift by default.
- Shows the relevant damage preview whenever a damaging ability is hovered
- Click an icon to immediately open targeting with that unit pre-selected
- Performance focused, leveraging cached vars to reduce lookups
- Icons ordered by ShotHUD priority, matching the HUD’s own ordering
- Compatible with WOTC Cost Based Ability Colors – icons reflect AP cost coloring
Fully configurable via INI:
- Toggle or hold-to-show mode, with support for multiple trigger keys
- Can filter out abilities, such as excluding commander or blacklist abilities
- Icon size, spacing, and position with per-mod presets for popular unit flag mods:
- [WOTC] Unit Flag Extended
- [WOTC] Additional Icons
- Tactical Information Overhaul [WOTC]
- [WOTC] Show Health Values
- [WotC] Numeric Health Display
- Also compatible with basegame WOTC unit flags
I highly recommend [WOTC] Unit Flag Extended if you don’t already use it.
Compatibility
- Safe to add or remove mid-campaign and mid-mission

Stop tab-hunting through large crowds. The ability’s right there on the flag. Just click it.
