This is a major peeve of mine also. If there is a workaround, I’d love to know. What I try to is group them first, but its still a pain. If I know Im not going to use the air units that turn, ill group them and just recon the group quickly. for sea units, if im not using them that turn, ill group them, move them one tile out of the city, do what i need to do, and then put them back.
