Show all commands

Not sure if this is possible with LUA yet, but i would like that if i hold shift (with no units selected) that i see all commands like in supcom. I heard there already is a drag and drop commands widget but it's kinda useless if you can't see the commands anyway :)

I haven't played SupCom... what exactly do you mean
by "see all commands"? All build and command buttons?
All slash "/" and dot "." command? What would the feature
be useful for?
If this does relate to build/command buttons, it is possible
to query the command descriptions for units with the SVN
lua interface (Spring.GetUnitCmdDescs(unitID)). If called
from LuaUI, then it will only allow you to see the command
descriptions for allied units (which is all units if spectating in
full-view mode).

Ctrl-A+shift...

What noize wants is to see the order queues of all units (and buildings?) when holding shift down on a single unit. The same what nemo mentioned just without having to select all units beforehand.

Oops, I guess I completely missed the point
This could be done with lua, but it would be
slow.
I think It would be much better to add it as a core
feature, possibly by using the same type of up/down
bindings used by /gameinfo | /gameinfoclose. Would
be nice to activate it for all allied teams as well.

In supcom, if you hold shift, you see the current commands like spring but you also see the other units queues faded out.
I keep expecting this when I press shift and getting dissapointed =(

If I saw all units queue instead of only the selected unit queue, then it would become very clogged and messy, and I wouldn't see anything but an unusable scribble.
I'd rather not see the other unit queue unless I specifically ask for it (and a Ctrl A shift do that fine).
SupCom slows down considerably when I make it show all the queues.

Hmm perhaps the queue can be simplified by replacing buildings or units with an under construction icon or the sidebar icon. That shouldn't cause too much slowdown. Or limit it either to the POV or a fixed radius.
