Summary0015756: "Select majority" feature (inverse of L/Shift+L)
DescriptionIn all my games so far I'm finding that I want to send most of my fleet somewhere but leave some behind for defence or to send elsewhere, e.g. to defend against 2 incoming waves. So I'd like something that works like L/Shift+L except inverted in that it *excludes* the fraction rather than keeps it... i.e. it selects increasing amounts of the original selection rather than decreasing.

Thinking using Alt as a modifier for L/Shift+L would be a natural choice for this given Alt's frequent "exclude" use elsewhere. So Alt+L would select 1/2, 3/4, 7/8, etc. and Alt+Shift+L would select 2/3, 8/9, etc. They could also work in combination, e.g. 1/2, 5/6, 11/12, etc.

Maybe this is a sign of my immature playing abilities or unfamiliarity with the interface; nevertheless it seems like it would be handy. :-)
