Default Re: BCT unit grouping issue?

Sorry for the problems.

Do you have a non-US keyboard? This will cause erratic behavior in the group-save keys.

I am afraid there is currently no software fix for this at present. The best solution is to set your keyboard up so it can be switched back and forth, to and from a US keyboard. To do this:

1. Open the 'Control Panel'
2. Select 'Keyboard'
3. Select the 'Language' tab
4. Select 'Add'
5. Select 'English (United States)' from the pull-down menu and select OK.
6. Select 'Left Alt + Shift', 'Enable indicator on taskbar', and 'OK'.
7. Now, when you start BCT Commander, select the left 'Alt' button and the 'Shift' button at the same time, and the number keys will work properly.
8. When you are done running BCT Commander, select the left 'Alt' button and the 'Shift' button at the same time again, and your keyboard will return to normal.

If you do not want to set up your keyboard in this way, your other alternative is to just make a "key" for yourself to do the conVersion mannually. Here is a translation key to allow you to figure out which character saves to which number:

! = 1
@ = 2
# = 3
$ = 4
% = 5
^ = 6
& = 7
* = 8
( = 9
) = 0

Sorry, again, for the problems.
