[Ground Combat] Centering of map is annoying

Is it just me? I click the numbers for a soldier or press 1-8 and the map centers around the selected soldier. But very often e.g. the soldiers are to the left and I want to see the right side.

And I click the numbers because I know "2 is the sniper"...

So I wish there was the option to turn off the auto centering and to have a dedicated hotkey for centering, or centering only if soldier is out of visible area...

The hotkeys shouldn't center the view, just clicking the icon.

Thx. Sorry, I was wrong about hotkeys then, I'll use them now.
