The recycle button

Currently the commander can recycle a building by selecting it and pressing C hot-key or using the mouse. However, C is also the map button which I personally use LOTS when commanding to give a larger and clearer battle-space overview. I use hot-keys 99% of the time while commanding.
I suggest the following:
1. Move the recycle from the C position to V
2. Disable the V key from activating the structure recycle process (except beacons) - mouse control only.
This one is not really essential, but it would be nice to have:
3. A 5 second time window where you can cancel the recycle and the structure deploys again - just in case of a mistake. Confirmation dialogs are horrid, please don't use one.

That would be nice. But points 1 and 2 shouldn't take more than 15 minutes to put into place. Adding a customization function will take much longer.
M is too far away from WASD, and takes too long to be effective. I almost always have the map up out of combat.
