Well I believe I may be the only gamer with this hotkey system laying out
It can work for all races so no worries if you are Z T or P

Coming from World of Warcraft I am a hotkeywhore,
and learning this game from Bronze-Grandmasters I started to use this system way back in the day.

Note: If you have small hands this prob will not work for you
How to test if you have a big enough hand?
Take a basketball and try to palm it, if you struggle you might be able to use this.

I try to be as time-effective as i can be in this game

Scrolling to bases was bad so i hotkeyed my hatcheries
so
1-5 Are my hatcheries 6-0 is my army(alt, you could 1-5 queens)
BUT
i add a alternative hotkey, 6-0 becomes F1-F5

This way I can keep my entire hand on the left hand side of the keyboard and I never have to move and you also are able to keep track of your bases quite easily.

Anything above 4 bases means you have to map click to your base, but pros do that to.

Try it out its great

if youre wondering about clicking unworking harvesters i just spam click on the picture to get any harvesters that are AFK. I hardly have more than 3-5 idle workers though

I use a great hot key setup for Zerg.

Remap Backspace (Base camera) to forward apostrophe `
Queens all on 1
Inject larva is Q

So, then in one fluid motion you hit
` 1 Q click
` 1 Q click
` 1 Q click
` 1 Q click
It feels really natural and its super fast to inject all hatcheries

Can't you just use camera hotkeys?

QFT, not sure why you didn't just use camera keys as F1-F5 and then gain an extra 5 hotkeys for units

I don't get this. If you struggle to palm a basketball, doesn't that mean you have small hands? As noted, small hands="this prob will not for for you" but if you struggle to palm a ball, you might be able to use it? o_O
