UI mod request, stop base ctrl+k

Deny ctrl+K orders when more than certain amount of unit types are selected simultaneously (from 8 to 10 can be default)

this is so players can make sure to stop themself from ctrl+k-ing their base when they rage or something like that.

Make it whenever more than a single mex is selected and I’d probably use it just to keep my once every thousand games mistake of ctrl-k all t2 mexes when I meant to only do one from happening.

The "ACU Self Destruct Confirm" mod by @HollowSubmarine could be a starting point/inspiration.

interesting idea.... maybe whenever single mex + some other buildings are selected...
like storage or factories... ( i ctrl+k-ed my HQ couple of times by accident when trying to ctrl+k t1 pgens next to it)

my idea is only to stop people from ctrl+k their base to ruin the game.
And try to not create problems anywhere else
so people can still ctrl+k part of their army or part of their base to not give veteranicy for example
imho a typical base will have at least 8 types of things...

1. t1 or t2 mex
2. pgens
3. ACU
4. land fac
5. air fac
   6-7) pds or units or planes
6. t1 engies

so people could voluntarily install this mod so they don't ctrl+k their whole base and don't ruin games for other

Except for walls, and probably T1 pgens. Since this is how I reclaim them.

If you want to stop others from doing it its not a ui mod but a sim mod

It has been partially implemented at least in the past it seems. Not sure if it's maintained or working
"ACU Self Destruct Confirm" UI mod

If someone tries to ctrl-k more than half of their mass in a team game, change the order to "ctrl-k the acu only and nothing else"

Maybe make an exception if there's only a tiny number of units selected, like if someone ctrl-k two monkeylords to reclaim them you don't want that to be interpreted as a "throw"

Better to just not execute it then. Don't want to accidentally have your com explode.
