Learn essential Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance controls, including the Ctrl+Z shortcut to select all units of a specific type on the map.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Most controls in Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance are intuitive and explained in the tutorial.
  2. 2
    Modifier keys (Shift, Ctrl, Alt) can generally be combined freely, unless specified otherwise.
  3. 3
    A particularly useful shortcut not always found in the manual is Ctrl + Z, which selects all units of the selected type(s) on the entire map (minimap (the small circular map in the bottom-left corner of your screen)).
  4. 4
    For example, if your bombers are assigned to control group 4, pressing the '4' key, then Ctrl+Z, and finally Ctrl+4 will ensure all your bombers are selected and assigned to group 4, ready for deployment.
  5. 5
    Alternatively, you can zoom out, double-click on any bomber to select all units of that type, and then press Ctrl+4 to assign them to group 4.
Tips
  • Experiment with combining modifier keys to discover efficient control schemes.
  • Utilize the Ctrl+Z shortcut for rapid selection of all units of a specific type, especially for coordinated attacks or defenses.
  • Assigning units to control groups (e.g., Ctrl+4 for bombers) allows for quick access and command during intense battles.
