I was just wondering if Zerg Two hand keyboard macro would be usefful to Terran players , with Zerg ofcourse it is because until the 12m 13 mark the Zerg usually can keep all the Hatchs on Hotkeys and Spare some few keys from Group control, with macro Toss it can be an edge too like nazgul who Hotkeys all his Gates until theres no room for more, now opossed to Terran . Is it really usefull take TvZ for example wich early on consists in 2,3 racks 1 fac 1 Star the time spent clicking on them and macroing with both hands would be =. Late game theres no room for hotkeying the buildings at least 5 hotkeys are spent with 2 groups of marines 1 medics tanks vessels + 09 scans wich leaves room for 3 hotkeys for buildings, on tvp and tvt , i think there could be some edge in using it. Anyway it seems at least for em that macro with both hands on keyboard its only really usefful for Zerg players.
Opinions..

Well consider what would happen if you were to use all hotkeys for buildings and not for troops. You would be able to keep troop production up and rally without having to actually go to the factories. Is being able to do that more important than being able to move your army effeciently? If it is, then I would say do the factory hotkeys. To the contrary, if you think being able to quickly move troops and keep them together and also, to provide quick scans is more important than quick production, then hotkey your troops. The worst thing you can do is not use your hotkeys at all.

you missed the point justoss

Not enogh hotkeys? you are probably saving up to many troops before attacking, (tvsz) u should start attacking with 2 groups of marines, 1 group of medics 1 group of tanks 1 sci vessel, that uses 1 to 5, use 6,7,8 to get to your racks quicker. 9 and 10 u can use for comstat or if u really need it, use it for buildings. Just press 6 twice and it will bring you right to the building, providing easier access to all of your otehr buildings. TvsP you are usually pushing and your really dont need to hotkey, and tvst is usally establishing positions and dropping, for tvsp and tvst there should be no troble having enuf hotkeys for your buildings. Im not the best person to be taking advice from but i hoped that helped

Blaze i said late game , for tvz and explain why isnt that important hotkey in tvz early game, for tvp and tvp i said it might be usefful for the reasons you said above.

u need to be able to reach scanner easily, so most t assign 0 and usually 09 to their first scan. 2nd scan is 9 for sure.
rines and meds take 3 keys in most situations.
need at least 1 generic "take me to base" key.
the rest of the keys are in the middle of the keyboard, and the middle of the keyboard is the most difficult to reach easily...
i can kinda justify putting 345 to keys early but beyond that it becomes harder and harder to justify just for production.
especially since tvz is not about production.

late game go to F2 F3 F4 coz no1 really uses hotkeys for buildings late game...u could also que(spelling?) units (if u have the mins) but otherwise ur gonna have to use ur keys more for units rather than buildings Other way is scroll fast but F2 F3 F4 are just faster in order of importance i'd say units over buildings (with the exception of com sat

Hm I think hotkeying 1 building in a cluster is sufficent as a doubble tap of the key will enable you to build from all your rax/facs really fast- assuming you have decent mouse speed-____- But I don't think you are supposed to macro that much during battles (which I assume is the reason for keying your buildings)- seeing as how you should que a few before hand and you should concentrate on preserving your army instead. I would think that getting a new army isn't worth it if you lost part of it when you macroed seeing as how terran don't usually have that many expansions TvZ-_-

with terran hot keying your units is much more important then your buildings
|
yea hovs doesnt htokey any buildings =D
|
yeah... but in tvt, u can 1= dropship 2= units (whichever u might be using + units in the dropship) 3= maybe wraith + BCs later on 4 = cc 5 = factory 6=factory (really optional, if u got one factory) 7 = starport 8-0 scn
hov is right, units control is more improtatnt; but in tvp, for example, v-gundam only hotkeyp his buildings, since he is controling his units most of time, and didn;t want to go backt o produce for too llong

TvT and TvP 4-9 factories,0-scan,TvZ-too much army to hotkey buildings ...
