Learn essential Supreme Commander controls, including the Ctrl+Z shortcut for selecting all units of a specific type on the map.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Most controls in Supreme Commander are intuitive and explained in the tutorial.
  2. 2
    Be aware of a couple of specific control quirks.
  3. 3
    All modifier keys (Shift, Ctrl, Alt, etc.) can be combined freely, unless stated otherwise.
  4. 4
    A particularly useful shortcut not mentioned in the manual is Ctrl + Z, which selects all units of the selected type(s) on the map.
  5. 5
    For example, if bombers are assigned to group 4, pressing the '4' key, then Ctrl+Z, and finally Ctrl+4 at any time will ensure all your bombers are in group 4, ready for deployment.
  6. 6
    Alternatively, you can zoom out, double-click on a bomber, and then press Ctrl+4 to achieve the same grouping.
Tips
  • Experiment with combining modifier keys to discover new shortcuts.
  • Use the Ctrl+Z shortcut to quickly gather all units of a specific type for strategic maneuvers.
  • Assigning units to control groups (e.g., Ctrl+4 for bombers) allows for rapid selection and command.
