You don't, there is no hotkey for that. If you make a control group of 5 abus, then you can use that to select them, or if you only have 5 abus then you can use the "find all units of the selected type" hotkey.

That is not possible. The only way would be to make a control group of 40 and one of 5.

ctrl -> (1-9) to make a group.
alt -> (1-9) to add selected units to the group (also will create groups if no units in the selected group).
ctrl -> 0 to delete selected units from any groups.
then press 1-9 to select your groups.
To make the groups you'll have to dragbox select (or use find all units of selected type hotkey, default ctrl-shift-a but change this it's an essential hotkey) the units you want in a group, then use the above hotkeys to get them in a group. If you want to split off 5 into another group, dragbox 5, and use ctrl -> (1-9) to give them a new group.

Type "controls, UI and hotkeys aoe3" into YouTube. I can't get the link to show for some reason but that's a decent video.

You probably want to select 5 at a time to shoot in a fight?! Then what you should do during a fight is draw little boxes around groups of about 5 abus.

Ctrl+shift+A - This will select all of the units (the unit currently selected) up to 50.

I would really like to see anyone be able to micro 9 control groups in a way that is meaningfully better than Atk move.

Generally you don't train many abus. They have insane damage, but low hp, high cost. Janissary are still the most cost-effective composition in your army.
