Can you clarify your question? You started off good but it went downhill fast.

I think he wants a shortcut key for selecting all units of 2 types, say all fighters and all bombers.

yes, selecting all Visible fighters(T1andT2) and all Visible bombers(T1andT2) with a shortcut key
in balanced annihilation.

That's true, and I'm not saying there isn't a valid need for a widget like this, but you really only need to select the units once then assign them a control group, from there on use ctrl+z.

Also, if you zoom out so they units become icons, they will be easier to select this way.
