What...?

So you just defended a proxy gate TvP and you have a small ball of marines and SCVs. You want to separate the SCVs and tell them to go back to mine. How do you accomplish that by drawing boxes?

You either have to ctrl + click or double click to select units of just one type.

I ctrl + click for units, but for some reason when I add production buildings I double click my production then shift click it to my production hotkey.

edit: I guess it's so I have already have my left hand over shift+3 (my macro hotkey) for when I've double clicked. It's a bit faster that way imo.

Ctrl clicking is just better in every way.

Doubleclicking moving speedlings on creep requires DRG level APM and accuracy.
A time to live.

I only use controlclick when I have a big clump of units and I have to separate some of them. Usually when having a huge clump of scvs and marines and I want to send scvs back to mine. I also always controlclick on the "selected units" window rather than one of the actual units.

CTRL+Click is faster and easier to use :o

Double click. Not sure what kinds of mice you guys are using but double click takes pretty much no time at all.

Double click regardless if it's the most efficient or not. It's just a habit.

It depends, when I want to select a certain type of unit in my screen, I double click. When I select from the wire-frame, I use Crtl-Click.

The only time I ever double-click it's accidental, and usually ends up having all my scvs go to build a barracks or something of that sort. I wish you could disable the double-click select-all.
