I lost my custom hotkey mapping when updating elite... or there any pre-made downloadable hotkey mappings or perhaps someone could send me there. Its impossible to play properly without hotkeys and i dont have the energy to go through that file again.

Effectively a mapping with WASD for screen movement and and grid hotkeys for some keys around WASD but anything is better than no hotkeys.

Anyone could help me out or know of one?

I use the standard grid hotkeys so can't really help with this. It soundslike a very uncommon layout so not sure if anyone has anything like that in such a small community.

You can restore your old key mappings. Go into My Documents\my games\dawn of war ii - retribution\Settings and look for _keydefaults.lua.backup-<date> or something like that. Make a copy of it and rename the copy to keydefaults.lua. If you don't want keydefaults.lua overwritten in the future you can set it to read-only from file properties. You will be missing some hotkeys that were updated in 2.6, but you can manually add those by looking at what changed in _keydefaults.lua
