In French it should be bound to 'Z' because the French use an azerty-keyboard. (The 'select-all' is therefore assigned to 'A' for example)

Where would the guard button be defined? I think it is a unit-specific command, but I cannot find it in the INI.
Based on the German keyboard layout (qwertz), it does not make sense it is assigned to W and should be changed, rather that assign an illogical key to select all aircraft.
edit: I saw your youtube video and see the issue. I still think we need to change the german key layout to match the keyboard. 'bewachen' could also have hotkey 'b' and still be logical (if 'b' isn't used for something else)

Well we open Pandoras box if we try to change keys at mass, because one reassignment will lead to new conflicts.
This change adds a new key mapping for Select All Aircraft to the original game languages in Generals.
Select All Aircraft for German is bound to CTRL+Q. Potential key conflicts are not addressed.
