Do we need a button for quick production cancellation?

Just curious, has anyone asked for extra mouse button support for custom keybinds? i.e. MB4, MB5.

A significant fraction (probably more than half, certainly no less than a third based on reported display resolutions) run OpenRA on laptops, which generally don't have a keypad. That invalidates it for default bindings, especially something as important as production.
How about using alt as a modifier on the production selection to enable cancelling while the production queue isnt open? eg. alt + e cancels buildings, alt + t cancels infantry etc.

How can I invoke support powers with hotkeys ? e.g. spy plane or para troopers.
