Not entirely sure if it's been thought of already, and really wouldn't make too much of a difference but might streamline some aspects of playing the game.
For example with the new 'plan' option from the galaxy view. It could then be possible once you have entered the fleet commands page, once you've selected the ships, just for example press 'A' and then enter to send the fleet rather than using the cursor.
A lot of people will think it's unnecessary, but i don't think it would take too much to implement and would, in my opinion help streamline parts of the game, especially for those using laptops without a mouse.
