use the f2 key (select all combat units) while playing 1vs1s?

I've found myself using it all the time now its amazing!! :) with so many units on the go and constantly spawning (zerg) i just love it :3

using bad laptop keyboard main reason I stopped using control groups for combat units :/

i use it too from time to time.
only bad thing about it is that units from watchtowers and stuff will also be selected.

i also have it on ` because i need the f keys for camera locations that i hardly ever use :D

I would not recomend getting used to f2 key, since if you need to split your army to defend multiple drops, for an example, you will mess up, because you will send whole army to one location when you should split it to two or more different locations. Just get used to set a nice rally point and constant add the units from the rally to your army.
