Here is the rep CherubDown. I'll be honest I played terrible later in the game. I kept getting distracted because I was listening to the SotG podcast and apparently shockwave crashed and decided I needed to know twice. So twice starcraft was minimized and I was just not focused later in the game. Hope this shows the potential of this technique. ... How does "severing" your workers sound as a name....lol :D | ||

But a simple CTRL+F1 will select allt he Idle Probes once they stopped. The issue I can see is with large groups of workers 20-26 perhaps.You will then have to click as amny times as probes, during that time they will be frozen by STOP and take hits. I think 1. BOX 2. STOP 3. F1 spam in Mini-Map is the fastest way to perform this. Depending on the situation it can be great or to much effort. | ||

Some blue flame hellions were in my base, and like the noob I am, I grabbed all my workers and moved them, thus resulting in many of them burning. He would have not known what to do if I did the split thing. That isn't a noob thing to do yet... This is still new. Most pros still just box and move. Maybe more efficiently but until this thread that was the best way to save workers. | ||

I will have to remember that next time I do this. Thanks for the tip. fyi I hadn't been hotkeying all my probes because I have only used this once. I just did it and the control clicked one of the probes and got them back to mining. (all the probes where still near my main nexus) | ||

This actually wont happen, the game considers the act of holding a xel'naga open a valid and continuing action, so the worker isn't idle. | ||

This actually wont happen, the game considers the act of holding a xel'naga open a valid and continuing action, so the worker isn't idle. Thanks, I didn't know this. I've edited the OP with that correction. | ||

Yesterday I got totally rolled over because of a well timed blue-flame hellion harass. This is so useful and I'll be using this in the future no doubt. | ||

2500~ diamond zerg - you are better off manually selecting to try to get around splash damage units. | ||
