ok, but that takes way too much time, if you dont keep it grabbed all the time, which then keeps you from doing other stuff between microing the com.

The other thing you can do is drag the move command ^

This is my usual solution as well, but it's annoying and does have a slight delay to zoom out if I am not already. That being said, I'm not really sure of any good way to fix this; The game can't read your mind

I suppose you're using your ACU a lot more aggressively than I usually do. I find that having it automatically reclaim first is often more useful, since I will usually have it acting as a mobile engineer rather than a combat unit. A toggle would be nice though.

And pressing [move order hotkey] + [LMB] repeatedly is way worse than pressing [reclaim hotkey] + [shift] + ([LMB] multiple times) only once or twice.

I agree it would be better

I use the move command for that problem

Interesting. I almost never issue attack orders for the ACU, only overcharge orders, which obviously are not affected by this. I do often use the context-sensitive reclaim for my ACU though, especially during the early game when it is getting that early mass.

when i want to move something inside a forest i usally just make a move order where there is no forest and then move this order.
but this takes too long if it has to go quick :/

If it's possible I think it should be removed.

So I'm not the only one who gets hit by this at times. "Commander, run from that wall of tanks!" "Got it, reclaiming that tree!" "Nooo!"
