A related question;

If i've got a mixed control group, lets say marine, marauders, and medivac ships.  Is there a button i can hold so that a command is issued only to the active unit type without explicitly selecting them?

EX:

I enter a fight with the Marine/Marauder/Medivac selected and the marauders are my active group.  I want to micro the marauders to the flank, but leave the marines in their auto-attack position; can i hold <<KEY>> down and right click and it will send only the mauraders?

The simplest way to accomplish this is to always bind different type of units on different key. An example keybind for Terran 1 - CC(s)*, 2 - Unit Production buildings*, 3 - all of your army, 4 - Marauders, 5 - Siege Tanks, 6 - Marines, etc.

*Tab works for buildings, it just circles threw them.

Yea i knew about this, but i'm running out of control groups (i like to use a couple of different attack groups for multi-pronged attacks) so cant afford to control group each unit type.

Also having resolution issues.  I use an LCD HDTV as a monitor so i've got a custom scaled resolution on my desktop (1832x1022); SC2 is insisting on using 1920x1080 as my fullscreen resolution.   In fact, that is the only two resolutions it offers me (both the 16 and 32 bit versions of 1920x1080) in the drop down menu.  I've attempted opening the variables file and altering height=XXX and width=XXX to my desired resolutions, but it seems that the game just isn't having any of it.

This means i have to play in a window which doesnt allow for mouse-scrolling of the map.
