In original game you could double click 1 type of units and all same type units in the area would turn green bar and you could shortcut these units and move them aside. It was a big help for when all your troops at base after transport mission or at healing station. now I have to block whole group and slowly weed out the trucks, healers, and misc units I don't want to attack with. Not a major pain but was a nice feature in the original game.
keep up the good work.

Re: Unable to highlight all same units with double click
Yes, I believe this function is still enabled in the source code. The only problem is that double-clicks aren't detected anymore.

Re: Unable to highlight all same units with double click
I would also like to see this future back.
I find it pretty annoying when I have to draw a box around my units that aren't in a group and it's even worse if the units are mixed with other units.

Re: Unable to highlight all same units with double click
I am currently running 2.0.8RC and it doesn't work there.
I just tried it out again to make sure.

Re: Unable to highlight all same units with double click
CTRL+Z does work to select all units on screen, but not to select all units on screen from 1 type.
I wanted to select all my tanks on screen only without having the trucks mixed with them.
In battle it's also annoying to press CTRIL+LEFT MOUSE CLICK on each truck or unit that isn't a tank.

Re: Unable to highlight all same units with double click
If double click signal does not come through to the program, maybe it should be replaced by another key code.
- Select one unit first and press a specific key afterwards. Or...
- Select one unit and then perform multiselect by drawing a box with the mouse. The program could interpret this as a selection of all units of the type previously selected.
