    Oh, that.

    CTRL-#. Then to select them, just press the number you assigned to them. Works in near every RTS

    Along with this, you can only use the numerics 0-9. You can't use keys, and I don't believe you can use the Num Pad. Correct me if I am wrong, somebody.

    I don't think you can use the pad either.

    It would be counter productive to micro, to reach all the way over there, then back again anyway.

    well, you can let go of your mouse and use your right hand to use the numpad.
    In War3, i use the numpad to use my hero's items.

    If you want your unit to attack move. You have to click where to.

    If you have some HT's on hotkey, and want to access them and psi storm. You have to target the area or units with the mouse.

    Thus, numpad is counter productive for SC micro.

    Exactly.

    Hey, imagine a guy trying to micro with his left hand broken. Or being a lefty and have the mouse on the other side, with his right hand broken.
