Yes, but having a good default setting is really important, as many
players play without ever configuring anything.

Maybe. I haven't found that necessary, as I use a lot of markers for city
placement planning etc. and just a few to mark important locations. For
latter, I can use markers 1-10 and quick jump keys. But your milage may
vary, cycling can be implemented, if it's found important enough. 

But we shouldn't pollute all keyboard with marker functionality, as
in future there will be need for shortcuts for new UI features.
