Editing Hotkeys

Using the "game" menu you can quickly hotbind any key combos to almost any action or unit commands. For more advanced usage of hotkeys see this page: [[Keybind file]]

== Selection Keys ==

Selection Keys are commands that quickly select groups of units. You can edit your selection keys in the game by navigating to Game > Selections.

=== Some selection key examples ===
* '''Ctrl-C''' selects your commander and focuses on him. Forgot where your commander is? Hit Ctrl-C!
* '''Ctrl-V''' selects an idle builder. Pressing it multiple times cycles through your idle builders.
* '''Ctrl-B''' selects all idle builders.
* '''Ctrl-A''' selects all. Convenient in some situations, just please don't use Ctrl-D with this when the battle is still going.
* '''Ctrl-Z''' selects all units of the same type as those in the current selection. The most used command, by many players. Very useful for keeping your army together, getting reinforcements, etc.

== Auto grouping ==

Ever wished to have all fighters in group 7, all gunships in group 8, all raiders in 4 etc?
Autogroup achieves just that..

* Auto grouping is feature of ZK (widget)
** '''Alt+number''' - makes permanent "auto group" out of currently selected unit types
* New units then join that group when they first become idle. 
** '''Alt+~''' - removes currently selected unit types from the autogrouping.
** '''Ctrl+~''' - selects ONE unit out of currently selected units (closest to your mouse cursor) and removes it from any groups (not removing type from auto group, just current unit from group).
* Autogroup settings can be modified from the in-game menu: Menu -> Settings -> Widgets -> Autogroup.

Example use:
* Select a Glaive and a Warrior and press _alt+1_.
* From then on, new Glaives and Warriors will join group 1 when they first become idle (after reaching factory waypoint). You can press ''1'' to select them.
* If you then want to add Zeuses to autogroup 1, select one and press ''alt+1''.
* If you then want to remove Glaives from autogroup 1, select one and press ''alt+~''.
