Hey, so the game is really really good, the best RTS i've played since SC2 and WC3. Only problem is it that there are some awful UI problems. The two I'm talking about in particular are control bind camera reset and shift tabbing. To be a modern RTS without these features is really really bad and really is detrimental to the gameplay experience. The control bind camera reset in particular is just disastrous to not have, it is a foundation of gameplay of every RTS since SC1. Not having shift tabbing is also very bad. Every single progamer / good SC2 player utilizes shift tabbing, and in this game it would be so helpful to have the two/three producing structures to all be control bound to 5.
Please Relic, introduce these by launch. The inconsistency in the camera reset for bound control groups is absolutely maddening and makes this game play much worse than it should be. No shift tabbing is also frustrating and makes gameplay cumbersome. I understand other UI concerns, but these two features are so important to gameplay that they should take utmost priority. I think everyone can agree with that, so please Relic fix these urgent problems!

From memory the home key resets the camera back to how it was at the start of the game if that is what you are after. If you mean go to the unit dubble press the control group number.
Shift tab is for steam and is not going to be changed. While you can remake this by removing the hot keys in steam and making your own by using software I do not expect Relic will do it. It is not an issue for 95% of the player base most want to be able to rebind keys 1st

Backspace resets the camera.

yea, didn't mean shift tabbing, just meant regular tabbing like in SC2 where you can tab through types of buildings and structures.
For 1, i do not mean camera home reset, which is not useful. I meant the double pressing that you talk about, which is wildly inconsistent and slow, and doesn't work half the times which is embarassingly bad
