3 These hotkeys select all units of the currently selected type(s), that is if you currently have a Glaive and a Rocko selected it selects Glaives and Rockos. CTRL X does this for any visible units (as in: "on your screen"), CTRL Z does this for units all over the map. This is essential for the "replenish a group with new units" problem you mention. 3 These hotkeys select all units of the currently selected type(s), that is if you currently have a Glaive and a Rocko selected it selects Glaives and Rockos.

7 For my factory waypoint I use a Fight-command to get builders to auto-assist and other units to engage enemies they encounter on their way.

9 To stop units from piling up too much, I usually check on front units every now and then to draw new custom formations or engage targets and while doing that I add the idle units. While doing that I sometimes adjust the factory waypoint. 9 To stop units from piling up too much, I usually check on front units every now and then to draw new custom formations or engage targets and while doing that I add the idle units using above hotkeys.
