Are There Special Hotkeys/features For Command Gui

Kinda like the ctrl-grouping or hotkeys for certain items/building? It seems too difficult to play commander w/out it.

    There are hotkeys for all the commands and a few good commander scripts that bind those to keys.

    I made one that uses 1-2-3 for Build, Adv Build, Equip Menus.
    And then binds Q-W-E-R, A-S-D-F, Z-X-C-V to the corresponding buttons in the box.

    If people are interested I could post it.

    EDIT: added script.

    <!--c1--></span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>CODE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='CODE'><!--ec1-->bind 1 buildmenu
    bind 2 advbuildmenu
    bind 3 equipmenu

    alias buildmenu "bind 1 hotkey86;bind 2 advbuildmenu;bind 3 equipmenu;bind q hotkey40;bind w hotkey41;bind a hotkey43;bind s hotkey56;bind d hotkey57;bind z hotkey58"

    alias advbuildmenu "bind 1 buildmenu;bind 2 hotkey87;bind 3 equipmenu;bind q hotkey51;bind w hotkey45;bind e hotkey46;bind r hotkey55"

    alias equipmenu "bind 1 buildmenu;bind 2 build adv;bind 3 hotkey88;bind q hotkey59;bind w hotkey60;bind e hotkey61;bind r hotkey53;bind a hotkey62;bind s hotkey64;bind d hotkey65;bind f hotkey66;bind z hotkey38;bind x hotkey39"<!--c2--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--ec2-->

    Dropping health and ammo is hotkey 59 and 60, they can also be bound in the controls menu, however you need to have the equip menu open to drop them.

    The only bug with this script is common to all scripts of this type, you need to hit the 1-2-3 buttons twice to get them to work, since hotket commands do not work in an alias.

    Also this will overwrite what you have bound to those keys normally so you will need to write a short config to rebind your movement and other keys, as well as a way to switch between them, there are some other scripts that are more user friendly than mine.

    Post them - then we'll tell you if we are interested. I would want just hotkeys for health and ammo as these are the ones I need in a hurry most often. Dropping a medpack at the right moment can mean the difference between winning and loosing control of a hive.
