Targets can include units and map features (rocks, trees, wrecks) as well as positions, areas and lines drawn that you draw on the map when the command is issued. Targeting lines, areas or multiple units or features is commonly achieved by clicking an dragging. | |

Units maintain a list of commands, known as their command queue, that are executed in order as each command is completed. Most targeted and instant commands can be added to the end of the queue or inserted or inserted into the queue. State toggles cannot be added to the queue and always take effect instantly. | Units maintain a list of commands, known as their command queue, that are executed in order as each command is completed.

| − | * Hold ''' | + | * Hold '''Shift and Space''' while issuing a targeted command to insert it at the point in the command queue that would result in the least extra travel time. |
A targeted command that is issued without holding Shift or Space cancels the entire command queue, replacing it with the newly issued command. An instant command that is issued without holding Shift or Space immediately executes the command without affecting the rest of the queue. Nobody knows what happens if an instant command is issued with Space held. | A targeted command that is issued without holding Shift or Space cancels the entire command queue, replacing it with the newly issued command.
