!scope="col"|Shortcut!!scope="col"|Effect

* {{Key press|Ctrl}}-{{Key press|A}} selects all. Convenient in some situations, just please don't use {{Key press|Ctrl}}-{{Key press|D}} (self-destruct) with this when the battle is still going.

* {{Key press|Ctrl}}-{{Key press|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.
