| Summary | 0011860: Control Group Tweaks | ||||
| Description | Although some of it may be already possible, I would like to be able to do the following things (which I can't figure out) -Deselect a control group, while retaining the rest of my selection >I have a full control group of all combat ships, and a few subgroups of, say, raid ships, heavy ships (for Eyes/ ion cannons) and similar. Hence, would like hotkey combo to select full group, then deselect all the heavy ships, so I can place the fleet seperately. Or any combination. However, it requires 6 control groups instead of three using my current knowlege of the implementation of control groups. -Remove unit selection from control group > So I don't have to, when I want to remove a unit from a control group, either kill said unit (like, say, advanced factory), or else clear the group, then find every single example of said group from the whole galaxy.... Which takes forever. -Allow L split, and possibly other things in galaxy view. This being so that I can quickly and easily split my fleet up between planets, without toggling between the views for each click. (May be possible by changing galaxy L hotkey, unsure) -Some kind of Control Group Manip in Galaxy view.... I might need to put this in a separate suggestion, since it is a bit more ambitious. | ||||

[quote]Remove unit selection from control group > So I don't have to, when I want to remove a unit from a control group, either kill said unit (like, say, advanced factory), or else clear the group, then find every single example of said group from the whole galaxy.... Which takes forever. [/quote] IIRC CTRL+ALT+GROUP# should remove selected unit from the group (ie: CTRL+ALT+1 remove selected units from group1). By the way, a CTRL+X+GROUP# hotkeys exists, that make selected unit to be in the selected group only (ie: unit is in group 1 and in group 2 - CTRL+X+1 -> ship is now in group 1 only - X stands for eXclusive) for problem 1 - not sure to have understood correctly - maybe ALT+group# will do the trick, but not sure - alternatively using units in multiple groups (ie: group 1 for 'all fleet', group 2 for 'all starship', group 3 = group 1+2, etc...)? |

Ok, so you can remove your selection from a group, and also make a selection be part of a single group, removing it from all other groups. That may be sufficient. Thanks. |
