You got a defective manual, then; the hotkey list is on p. 294.
I don't have it either, but I got an early copy of the game. Perhaps the hotkey list has been included since.

Yep, there are no defective manuals, just two editions. The first does not have the national global enchantments like Illwinter, and it sounds like it's missing the hotkeys too.

I've got a possibly ignorant array of question

so why are provinces with 2 sites skipped? can a province not have more than 2 sites? is there a limit on how many sites it can have? when are magic sites determined: at generation of game, or when the province is searched?

I'm not sure why provinces with 2 sites are skipped. Design choice. Efficiency compromise, I'd guess. The more sites found, the less likely there will be more, so it's more efficient to search provinces with less sites. Just like not searching provinces that have been searched at all in a path.

My standard practice is to let the automated searches finish, then go through and mop up anything they skipped.

Provinces can have up to 4 sites. Determined at the beginning of the game. Some can have effects even before they are discovered, scale changes, unrest, etc.

Does not work for me no matter what I do. The shift+M shortcut does not seem to do anything (others work). Used Ulm master smiths to test it.

Have you patched the game Kamamura? This feature was added in an update.

Kamamura, maybe you just forgot to click on the mage before 'shift + M'?

Kamamura,
One other common problem, make sure caps lock is not on.
