Selecting henchmen

Perhaps I'm missing something hidden in plain sight, but is there a slash command or keybinding for selecting particular henchmen as my target? Getting my zombies into my bubbling rota is proving slightly tedious since it compels me to touch the mouse.

Edit: while I'm at it, a way to drop insp on them without touching the mouse wouldn't hurt, too. Somehow I suspect this question is going to become an RFE.

I don't think you can Thunder. It would be a nice addition, even if it does mean 6 key presses (since macro commands execute immediately, we can't have one macro for bubbling / upgrades - which WOULD be tremendously useful).

Short list of slash commands:
- petcom [orders] gives a command to the targeted henchman
- petcom_name [name] [orders] sends [orders] to the henchman named [name]
- petcom_pow [power name] [orders] tells all henchmen summoned by [power name] what to do
- petcom_all [orders] issues a command to all minions

As you can see, there is much you can do here.

Actually guys, he's talking about just making the pet the current selection, not using a pet command. This would then be used to cast a normal buff or upgrade on the pet.

Oops, my mistake... well, there might be, but I didn't find any, yet.

Excellent, that's exactly what I am looking for. It'll still need a rewrite of my buffing Perl script [1], but at least it'll be nice and quick once I'm done.

Can I persuade you to put this into your guide for masterminds? I'm sure I am not the only person for whom it would be useful.

[1] No, it doesn't play the game for me, T&C paranoids; it just sits there and says "one" ... "two" ... "three" at the right intervals for the team size, buff duration, and where I am in the team.

Thanks for the commands... Might get useful at times.
