Default Selecting wounded units

In the Army Setup screen, one can select all units suffering from Battle Afflictions within a squad by hitting "w". Now that is all well and fine, but the fact that I first have to select one unit within the squad and then press "w" is actually a pain. This means that I select a unit, hit "w", right-click on the unit I first selected, check whether or not he is in fact wounded as well as he won't be deselected if he isn't, then close the info screen and deselect the first unit if necessary. Why all these steps? Why not simply allow us to hit "w" whenever we hover the mouse over a squad, without having to select a unit first?

Pressing "e" does a similar thing, but for units with experience rather than units with wounds; the same problem crops up there.

Only I think that it select units with *highest* experience, not all units with *any* experience. Recently I had units with one star, two stars, and no stars all in the same squad. When I pressed "e" only those with two stars were selected, and it didn't change with the initial selection of the unit (i,e, whther it was **, *, or green unit that was selected when pressing "e"). So, I'm guessing only the highest experience ones will be selected.

yes this 'w' and 'e' behavior could benefit from an upgrade, I do the same manipulation (clicking a unit then checking it). A mouse over command would be cool.
