Commander Interface Question

<div class="IPBDescription">2 things</div> First Question:

If you have selected something e.g structure or medpack to drop on your Commander screen and for whatever reason change your mind how do you "de-select" it? Whereabouts do you click on the interface or what key do you press?
At the moment I'm having to choose medpack or ammo to drop even if I dont want too. This is annoying and a waste of res.
Also how do u de-select all marines from waypoints?

2nd Question:
Exactly how do you use the commander hotkeys particularly for medpxax and ammo?

All valid responses will be greatly appreciated <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    You can't de-select anything. I know it is annoying, but you just have to used to it.
    If i select a medpack and dont want to give it away, i start to look, that should i build any structure and then switch it to building. But if you have selected a building and dont want to place it, then i suggest that you switch to ammo/med and drop it somewhere (it only cost 2 rp).

    Once i accidentily dropped a prototype lab in the middle of offence chambers, while i was trying to give waypoint. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> What a waste <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    You can de-select marines by clicking one of your structures, but you cant remove waypoints. (you can only change their place).


    About those key setting, i use "a" for ammo and "alt" for medpack.

    i believe you can press esc while having something droppable on your cursor, and it should go back to its empty form... it won't exit to the menu

    oh yeah, most of the hotkeys can be defined using the standard NS setup (including medpacks and ammo)

    Just select a building (when you have marines selected) like the cc or an ip.

    I noticed when i select an upgradeable building i cant switch to the normal build menus

    If you have selected a medpack right click to cancel.

    That doesn't work for me. If i right click two things might happen:
    1. It drops that medpack
    2. Wp appears in that place and i still have that medpack in my "hand"

    There comes that little box what says: "Invalid order", but it doesn't make that medpack go away.

    Works for me, and what I've been doing for a while now.
