First of all: Thanks a lot for the port.

Some proposals: I play in the no-touchscreen-mode and noticed, that when footmen are selected, then X selects a unit or building and B does action (attacks), but when a peasant is selected, then X does action (harvest) and B selects a unit or building. This is a bit confusing. Can this be changed easily?

Also the scrolling speed when you hold left-shoulder-button and use D-pad is slightly too fast IMHO. And can the F-keys be assigned to numbers instead? Or do have numbers have a function too?

X is mapped (by default) to 'h' followed by left mouse click.
B is mapped (by default) to 'a' followed by left mouse click.
When footman is selected and you press X, first 'h' is pressed, which does nothing and then left mouse button is clicked which selects a unit or building.
When footman is selected and you press B, first 'a' is pressed, which chooses the Attack command and then left mouse button is clicked which selects the target for attack.
When peasant is selected and you press X, first 'h' is pressed, which chooses the Harvest/mine command and then left mouse button is clicked which selects the target for harvesting/mining.
When peasant is selected and you press B, first 'a' is pressed, which does nothing and then left mouse button is clicked which selects a unit or building.

The only thing that you can change is the mapping of X and B to something different. You can do this in the config file.

Also the scrolling speed when you hold left-shoulder-button and use D-pad is slightly too fast IMHO.

You can change the scroll speed inside the game: Menu => Options => Key Scroll

And can the F-keys be assigned to numbers instead? Or do have numbers have a function too?

The numbers do not have any function except for writing numbers, but at the moment you can't remap them to F-keys.
If you want, I can add this feature to the next version.

First of all: Thanks for the quick reply.
Second of all: Sorry for not reading the readme on the first go. I noticed that it would have answered most of my questions.
Third of all: About the remapping of F-keys: At first I thought it would be a good idea to remap them to the numbers, because they are a bit hidden when fn-button is needed to access them. But on the other hand then the hotkey-graphic, which is displayed when you press F1, would show wrong keys. And there still might be situations where you want to or must use the number-keys. So maybe better leave it the way it is. Even if F10 currently does not work.

The only small feature that I miss at the moment is the option to turn off speech when you execute command. All this "yes","yes my lord" gets somewhat annoying. =) And I don't want to disable soundFX completely.

Sorry, that's how Warcraft works, you either have all sounds or none. And BTW I like the speech.
