The F9 key is a good hint.

But the enemy are still without visible health bars. I must right click on every enemy unit to get the health status. It is possible to activate/deactivate the health status with F9 also for the enemy.

Can we default that to Alt?

I think that's what most games do. Hold down Alt to see everyone's HP.

You forget the morons who made Alt the default for window actions in some environments like Gnome, when when perfectly suitable alternatives like a "windows" key are available on most any keyboard, and not used by applications usually.

I was thinking it would be weird with all the alt+* commands we have in warzone. Aren't they alt+* in linux, also (alt+h, alt+LMB, etc)?
This is why some features aren't implemented: http://forums.wz2100.net/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=7490&view=unread#p87241

Some games I know give trouble with alt+tab when mapping the function you say.
Some of them even became locked and I had to restart them.

I'm not saying it can't be done. I'm more like saying that it should be done carefully.

back to my suggestion: simply leave F9 and add the functionality so show the health bars of the enemy units.
