Skip campaign, the story is so bad you will beg for death. Hotkeys can be remapped so you can get the classic F1 to F4 location shortcuts.

Save location I think is ctrl + F3 or whatever?

Atleast mine are ctrl + Fkey.

You can remap your hotkeys by going to menu, then options and then at the bottom left corner of the options menu there is the hotkeys menu. It's rather tricky to find.
Also, the HotS campaign doesn't really teach you much. They dumbed it down an almost insane amount, up to and including making injects automatic. Some patches that were made to multiplayer (such as the time limit on neural parasite) don't affect either campaign. Most people really hate the story in WoL and HotS, but I've never been a story guy.

Storyline in Wings is actually quite enjoyable having played through it a couple of times. It's really well thought out and each mission is unique. Storyline of HOTS, however, is a piece of shit. Well, that is subjective to a certain extent, but the missions are genuinely bad. Blizzard should do a patch adding another difficulty or upping Brutal, lol.

Biggest difference from the two for me is being able to have a camera hotkey on F1 and remapping patrol to W. I still have all my hatches on individual hotkeys and all of them on 0 (space bar), though. It works quite well. If you play Z get used to spamming hatch one - three and your unit keys and you can have perfect injects quite easily. Really helps with multi-tasking.

In order to map your camera hotkeys, just go to Hotkeys, Global, Camera and then remap to SHIFT + F1-F6 as you'd like. Three more is a big boon, yo.

And you don't have to buy the game right away. Use the starter edition! If you join a party with your friend, you have access to all the HOTS content too! Then, if you want to 1v1, just make a game of PeepMode and play together.

The storyline is not only fine, the campaigns are actually very fun to play. Definitely the best singleplayers campaigns in any RTS to date, no contest.

The dialogue writing in the campaign is horribly cheesy and the general plotline is cliched but you will enjoy it anyway because the whole thing is so polished and tight in construction.

The gameplay of the single player is really great, you should definitely give it a try sometime.

Also, your friend that seems to be quite biased against SC2 and claims that "macro is non existent" obviously doesn't follow the scene. Some players, e.g. Flash and Innovation, utilize a very macro-orientated style of play and often win by simply outnumbering their opponent.
