How Do I Filter Out Units with Move Orders?

I'm using the "Find Idle Units" key to find units which need move orders; unfortunately what FIU actually finds isn't quite what I'm looking for as it includes all units with unspent movement points whether or not they have move orders.

If there were a way to make units with move orders move without ending the turn that would also solve the problem if there's no such thing as a "Find Idle Units Without Move Orders" button.

Thanks in advance for your help!

I think I figured this one out on my own: If you hover the mouse over the center of the screen, the "unit picture" of the unit activated by the "Find Idle" key will show its current orders. If those orders are "Awaiting Orders" that's a unit that needs move orders.

Just gotta keep the mouse pointer centered in just the right spot and it all works out. Hit 'Tab', center the mouse, then hit 'Tab' again to cycle through everyone. Units occupying the same space as other units but not in a stack will automatically be brought to the foreground by the "Find Idle Units" command, which is kind of a nice touch.

The "unit picture" is over on the right. If anyone else had the same problem I did, I'm glad I could help.

Okay new problem. The detail view is no longer popping up and I have no idea why. I hit tab, the unit comes up, the mouse is right there on top of the guy, but over on the right, nothing. In the space where the detail view should be it's just map.

So how do I turn the picture thingy back on? I really need it. I have no idea what my units' orders are without it.

I'd also like to know why sometimes accessing a city puts the map in permanent 2D mode and sometimes the map is restored to its isometric view. I haven't figured out yet what specific series of player interface actions within a city causes the map view style to permanently change when returning to overland mode.

Holding down middle mouse button rotates map, which makes the occasional city zoom not reverting back to the original map rotation not a problem.

Also this particular problem doesn't seem to happen during a normal game but during the first campaign mission. The disappearing unit picture (which gives the unit's current orders) also only seems to happen during the campaign.

Lastly is there any way to find idle caravans? I right-click on some princess or duke instead of the town they're standing next to and the caravan parks next to them instead of beginning a trade route. There doesn't seem to be any way to find these caravans outside of sheer dumb luck -- they evade notice with expert blending-in skills and spend the game taking up space where a trade route might've gone.

Is there a way to configure the keys? I'd like map rotation to go on the 4th mouse button instead.
