You can already do that by combinating Maj and Alt + Double Left Click on your units if you really want to.
Making that function respond to Ctrl+Z would be nice because it's quite common in strategy games.
Having a nicer shortcut would be useful only if selecting all units of several types was useful, and I don't quite see when you'd need that.
An example use case would be to see two soldiers of two different types, getting attacked and therefore be willing to select all units of both types as fast as possible. This can't be covered with the existing shortcut because the first click of the double click deselects all other unit except the one clicked on. Adding the shortcut would improve intuitive usage IMO.

Replying to krichter:

Press shift.

If you were just unaware of Alt + Double Left Click, you can close the ticket as invalid.
