With Jin dynasty you often want to control the knights and the ranged cavalry at the same time. Unfortunately there exists only one hotkey for select all cavalry on screen that contains both of them. Since I want to use them as archers, that makes this civ borderline unplayable if you rely on those hotkeys instead of control groups for army management.

Please add the option for this.

Ahahah now imagine mongol players since launch my guy.  
(and they had the issue “select all siege units” selected packed buildings, now fixed, thanks)

But i agree with the idea. Constently reassigning units to their control group is exhausting, especially with cav archers who have low HP.
