Hotkeys
Editing Hotkeys
Using the "game" menu you can quicly hotbind any key combos to almost any action or unit commands. For more advanced usage of hotkeys see this page: [KeybindFile]
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-B* selects an idle builder. 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 re-enforcements, 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+~_.
