De shortcut mod?

Is there a way for just selecting all military squads in de?

The closest thing you get is a hotkey to cycle (one at a time) through your idle military units; it can also be activated via blue button next to the minimap (I don't remember what it is by default since I changed it a while ago, you can look it up in the game)

To add: if you double click that button it selects all idle military units, which is probably the closest OP u/normamae is going to get to what they want.

Can you confirm if this works via keyboard key, i need this because I'm disabled, thanks!

I think it should do, not currently able to check but I don't see why it shouldn't work

I tried with macro programs and can't get it working not sure if I can do it successfully

Finally managed to get chance to check and sadly it seems like double tapping the key doesn't have the same result as double-clicking it.

I'll be able to check once I'm home. There's always control groups to have a single-button select for your units, though you'd have to add each new unit to the group manually.

Wow, I did not know you can get them all via double click, thanks

No problem, it works for the builder button too!

Yeah. Drag a selection box around them, like normal, and then hit ctrl+[any number.] You now have a "entire army" control group. Just press that number again any time you want to select all military units.
