Hotkeys

Using the in-game menu, you can quickly bind any key combination to almost any action or unit command. For more advanced usage of hotkeys, see Keybind file description.

Selection Keys

Selection Keys are commands that quickly select groups of units. You can edit your selection keys in the game by navigating to Menu→Hotkeys→Selection.

Some selection key examples

• Ctrl-C selects your commander and focuses on him. Forgot where your commander is? Hit Ctrl-C!
• Z 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 (self-destruct) 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.
