Selecting and control groups
Pick groups quickly with the mouse and the number keys.
Shift and click adds a group to your selection, and Shift and drag selects every group of yours in a box.
Where markers overlap, say two groups sent to the same place or a group standing on its base, a click lists everything there. Point at a line to see which marker it is, then click it.
Hold Ctrl and press a number key to keep the selected groups as a control group, then press that number to select them again. Press it twice to fly the camera to them. A control group can hold a base instead.
Esc steps back: it drops your selection first, then opens the game menu.
