Is there bind keys to switch between players/units when commanding?

Hey guys,

I have been playing for about a week now and I am wondering if there is a way we can control + unit/player to bind them to a hotkey. For example, control + 1 would let me keep a unit in check by tapping on that 1 twice. It's very similar to other moba and rts games. It would help out with the macro/micro-ing as a commander. If there is this feature, am I missing it somewhere?

Thanks

    I am pretty sure it's the same. I tried control 1 and it binded some units while I was a Marine Commander

    This feature used to be in a long time ago in the beta if i remember correctly. It probably got broken somewhere along the line and they never realised or didn't have the time to fix.

    How would this work if your squad broke off in different directions? I can only see such an option working on a single marine/structure.

    Hm, it was not working for me when I tried it. I will try it again to see if it works when I get some games in tonight.

    Superfly, you would have to control+1, 2, 3 etc to have different bind. At a competitive level, I would need this feature as a commander to help me navigate between each group or individual soon as possible and support them.

    I honestly don't think I will have to go crazy like I do in starcraft 2 but it will be great help. I enjoy all aspect of the game so far and would like to improve on the commanding side and focus on strategies.
