How do I get soldier turn without moving it to other location?

Middle mouse button or control.

Are you reading this, mattn? This is only the 10,000th time or something. How about we change it to RMB already?

I agree with BTAxis: RMB turn would be a better default.

BTW

You can change bindings.

You can also edit your keys.cfg to do this when UFO:AI starts.

*I* know that. But I reinstall the game rather frequently, and having to change the binding manually every time is kind of a pain. Besides, new players won't know this.

not sure which manual you mean. its confusing, but there are a few here and there. this

bit of a manual does say. the wiki FAQ

http://ufoai.ninex.info/wiki/index.php/FAQ

is a good place to start for many things (a sticky topic pointing to the wiki FAQ would be handy - ?admins).

BTAxis: I thought you would know, but it took me ages to work it out, so I thought I would share.

 :D Nice formulation!

I'd recommend changing it to RMB, too... for everyone asking, there are 30 people not asking. Besides, it's much more intuitive, too.

OK, well have a look here too

http://ufoai.ninex.info/wiki/index.php/Manual

and other parts of the wiki. If you find it sadly lacking, you can improve it!
