This would be epic. Or maybe some kind of way to auto group a specific unit when it's made? So you could Ctrl+1 Flash in the lab, and every flash that is made in that lab is autogrouped in group 1.

Already done, unit_auto_group.lua

And why would you want a factory in a control group? Buildbar widget covers everything you would want to do with a lab, for all labs, from anywhere

Buildbar sucks because it sticks right out into the middle of your screen. I'd use it if I could make it run horizontally along the bottom but tweaking it doesn't seem to let me do that.

The auto-group thingy is more annoying than anything else because it groups units you don't want grouped and then when you double click a unit, it selects that group which I don't want to happen.

another feature would be nice - u hold 1 button, click one unit and all units of the same kind on map are marked, u dont need to zoom-out and try to hit small dot with cursor.

Or its already done ? :>

Its about speed of course. Sure you can click on units too, so why use ctrl groups on them either?

there is a widget for it calles auto_group

select the unit you want, press ctrl+alt+number, so this unit and all units, that will be build are in that group (works also for more than 1 type of unit, e.g. flash+samson)
