Yes, also it's awesome for training vills AND fishing boats!!
Instead of hitting tc>villager or dock>Fishing boat multiple times for each individual building, simply hit dock>select all>fishing boat. This is the secret to effortlessly laming sea with 6 + docks

Yep!
For me, r is build dock, and shift + r is select all docks. f is fishing boat. So easy to shift + r + f and suddenly 12 fishing boats in queue.

I totally agree, once I discovered it I instantly picked it up and have been using that ever since to such extent that playing nilla is a nightmare for me because this particular hotkey is missing there
Actually I started out using it for deleting the wall pillars, but after remapping it to a nice key Ive slowly but surely started using it a lot. My only frustration is that I sometimes group my explorer with my skirms with screws everything over haha.
Its on arguably the 2nd easiest button to hit right now: caps lock. Kinda awkward in teamgames where it seems like you're screaming half of the time.
My awkward experience is that when there is an obstacle in the form of enemy building between my main army and reinforcements, and I quickly group them together and do attack move, my reinforcements start attacking the enemy building. It can happen quite often in Brit mirrors, when there are many manors spread out on the map.
Lately I've been somehow accidentally grouping ALL my villagers with an existing military control group. Idk exactly how it happens, just see 50 vills randomly migrating across map.

I do that quite a lot when i put all my cdbs in control group 1 for bouncing them in and out of a tc vs a rush and then forget to ungroup them.
