How to build quickly in Red Alert?
In many replays, I have seen people place their buildings (eg factory) very quickly when they finish building in the construction yard (CY). They do not even click on the icon of the factory. When it's ready in CY, they just press something on the keyboard and they can then place the factory right away, without having to click in the right construction menu first. What hotkey can do that?
Red Alert 1, 2
Update
Ok it seems that in RA2, you just have to press the tab hotkey. Ie for normal buildings it's "Q", for defensive buildings it's "W".

So now the question is how to do that in RA1, if it is possible.

To piggy back on the comments above. There was minimal "HotKey" support for these older games. They were basic compared to the StarCraft 2 of today. That being said, here is a site defining all (Most?) of the HotKeys for C&C: Red Alert. I hope this helps!
