Summary0012015: restore (?) "Make Control Group Selection Use Omitted Units Instead"
DescriptionI found this shortcut and I'm unable to understand its use.
with a quick google search I found this:
http://www.arcengames.com/forums/index.php/topic,11026.msg109408.html#msg109408


So I suggest to restore the use of this command as suggested by ninemetal

1. select the control group for the 6 units, say it's ctrl group 1
2. hit shift+L to select 2 units
3. while the 2 units from control group 1 were selected hit the key for omitted units + 1 (for control group 1)
4. it would select the four units that were omitted from my current selection but part of control group 1. This would let me split up the selection again.

I found how "Make Control Group Selection Use Omitted Units Instead" works: it make control group selection select units that normally are not selected (ie: docks,etc).
In other words: if group 1 contains docks + ships, "Make Control Group Selection Use Omitted Units Instead" + 1 selects only docks.
