This is set to "View Message Log" but doesn't seem to do anything in battles.

Oh wait, you need messages then ~ does something.

Even so, I think we need a hotkey for "select mothership." F1?

It's "h". :)

I thought "H" just centered the screen on the mothership.

If that is the case, I think we need to separate the functionality.

Sometimes I want to move the camera but not change selection. Sometimes I want to change selection without moving the camera.

Re-opened for consideration of my alternate suggestion about separating camera motion and mothership selection.

H does both currently, but, we can consider separating those out.

You can rebind the H key to that if you like (H already does that), but because of foreign keyboards we try not to use that key for central things. Most of them don't have that key, or have it in a very different place.

So, no splitting "Select mothership" from "Center view on mothership?"

I totally missed all the comments, sorry. In terms of splitting that functionality, I'm not really sure what the use cases would be. We have a ton of hotkeys already, and are always adding more. We also have a bunch of hotkeys coming from your other suggestions about moving your flagship without selecting it. Is this really a needed thing?
