So i click a lot when i play sc2 and from time to time ill accidentally double click on a unit and it will select all units of the same type. This gets me into trouble sometimes like when im trying to move one probe from my mineral line to build something but instead i double click and move ALL my probes making me lose precious mining time. Anyways i know that its my fault for double clicking, true, but the thing is, I don't even USE double clicking. I always use ctrl+click. All im saying is that there should be an option to enable and disable this double clicking selection, it just gets in the way for me.
Anybody else dealing with this?
And even if you're not, wouldn't you agree that it would be best to allow such a thing to be enabled/disabled in the menu?

As a temporary fix, you can change the double click speed of your mouse settings to as fast as possible so that it's really difficult to double click.

I suppose it may get in the way at times, but I feel as though people might find it more useful than troublesome in the majority of situations.
I know some players out there don't use ctrl+click because they're either not used to it or they don't find it necessary. Ctrl+click is probably the most efficient way to be moving certain units, but what about if you want to group certain units together in the same hotkey? It would probably be a little more difficult without double-click as well.
I'm not too sure whether or not it should be a feature that can be enabled/disabled. What do you guys think?

whoa, I might just do that, thanks.

doesn't rly affect me but why not?

This is stupid. Don't be as sloppy with your actions and this won't happen.
|
dont have any objection to this (or adding an on/off toggle to any feature of the ui) but it really is unnecessary.
|
low on my priorities but i support anything that makes this much sense
|
It doesn't really get in the way for me all that often, but as I use ctrl+click for selecting all units anyway, I guess I would appreciate to have this feature.

You have to choose between opening folders easily and doub/e click in sc2. haha i know i would be too lazy to change the options each time

Does CTRL+click do the same thing as double click?

Yeah, theres no difference that I'm aware of

maybe I'm incredibly sloppy, but that doesn't make this a stupid suggestion

too many options 
ofc ppl are going to vote yes, theres no real downside. i just dont think its necessary.

Personally I think if people are going to try to spam their APM they should be accurate or face a penalty. That said.. I have pulled all workers trying to build one building 3 times so far in beta and each time it infuriated the hell out of me. Especially since I almost exclusively use ctrl-click for all of type selection. So I am on the fence.

Yes, it is a stupid suggestion. By being able to toggle this option off, Blizzard would be saying it's okay to be sloppy. And it isn't. If you're sloppy, there's some kind of penalty associated with that.

I think there's no need to be so hostile here, it's just a minor interface change and Blizzard are trying to make the game "newb-friendly" anyway so it doesn't seem like being sloppy should be punished.

Nobody is hostile here. I'm just disagreeing with his statement that his suggestion isn't stupid.
I don't know where everyone is getting this idea that Blizzard somehow is making the game "newb friendly". And even if they were making the game "newb friendly", that doesn't mean that sloppiness should be tolerated or encouraged with this change.

Calling someone's idea stupid isn't exactly the friendliest of gestures. Words like unnecessary would suffice. It's only a minor tweak that would hardly affect anyone, no reason not to at least try suggest it.
Why can't you tolerate sloppiness, Street Fighter 4 gives a lot of leeway for inputting commands but it's still a good game. Same concept here, don't fight the interface.

If his idea is stupid, I'm going to tell him it's stupid instead of sugar coating it. It does him a disservice if I did otherwise.
This is a different situation from your SF4 example. You can't control the amount of leeway the game gives you for inputting commands -- It is what it is and that's it, you learn to play the game in that state. To include such an option the OP suggests would be like saying "Oh? What's that? You're innaccurate with your APM? LET'S INCLUDE A CRUTCH FOR YOU".
