F1 for all workers

General Discussion

I just think it’d be nice if f1 selected all idle workers just like f2 selects all attack units.

The solution is simple:

f1 to select the first idle worker, then
Shift+
f1
f1
f1
f1
f1
f1
f1
f1
f1
f1

to select the rest!

u can just control and click on the icon also… use f1 for location keys

Yes, that is precisely the best thing to do. F1 has the most value if used for something (First Camera Key) that you use 50 times in the game compared with “iddle worker” that you use 2-3 times in mid-late game…

I use precisely this arrangement.

I also bound camera hotkeys similar. f1 to f6. Then moved all army and idle workers to f7 and f8, those are things that I only use when I am in very special situations whereas camera hotkeys are extremely useful.

My goodness, people seem to know the answer but can’t actually say it like it’s a taboo.

Holding down the control key while pressing the idle worker button will select all workers. This works both for ctrl+f1 AND ctrl+left click button.

I use my mouse buttons because I have nothing better to do with them

The only possible QOL would be to not change screen when you Press Ctrl+icon, so while you started the build of the 4’th or 5’th base, you can call all iddle workers there without cycling around…

mines on ` or the tilde key and all army on F1…also 9 and 0 on H and Y. also replace “create control group” (normally ctrl+a number) i delete and replace with the normally alt+a number which is “create control group and take away”. So can rapidly split or assign units to a group w/o having to worry they are in another group still as well. Good for de-selecting units to like send to watch towers and stuff as well. But i still press all army too much and then have to use my ctrl+a number to reassign them to their seperate group after hitting my all army hotkey and shift+1 (my main army), but at least the unit will still be there on the ctrl group to easily re-assign it to separate it from main army group.
