OpenRA

Hey all, new player but longtime RTS fan. Recently found OpenRA and loving it, however, in TD I'm unable to group units into numbered selections. There seems to be a negative interaction with the "Modify move-command via Ctrl," as every time I've tried control grouping, as soon as I press the number I want, the selection of units gets de-selected and nothing happens. I'm able to do it on Red Alert with Ctrl + #. I'm on a Mac, any help?

The hotkey is different - Cmd + # - on a mac.

Appreciate it, o7
