Starcraft – How does the game decide which building to center on when double-tapping a hotkey bound to multiple separate buildings

For Starcraft II specifically there's actually an in-game option to disable windows key and/or alt-tab. It's under "Gameplay" the 2nd and 3rd last options.

Also for SC2 if you set the graphics setting to "Windowed (Fullscreen)" it will let you instant-alt-tab. It says it may cause a drop in performance but I personally haven't noticed it and the ability to alt-tab instantly is worth any small performance drop unless you're on a really low end system. (I browse the web when searching for matches, and just have "Play in background" turned on for the sound so I can hear when one is found).

First, double tapping 4 will actually take you to the closest CC to your current camera, not the last CC added to control group.

Now, to do what you want, you have a few options.

• Use the base location hotkey to jump to various CC's (This might actually be the best option for you.)
• Use camera hotkeys. You can assign f1 to your main, f2 to your nat, etc.
• Finally, some pros do this. have 4 be all your CC's, but then have 5-9 be your individual bases. This way you can easy access mules/scans, but also jump to specific bases.

Now, the tab technique only works if you have multiple unit types, such as on 1 you might have marines and marauders, hitting tab changes from one to the other. It will not allow you to select different CC's in your group, nor is there any easy way of doing that.
