I've been playing BW for a long time, but I figure I need to do away with my horrid setup even though it's comfortable. I want to get past D this season. t.t I personally have 4-8 for hatches then f2-f4 for hatches that I dont have hotkeyed (like at 4th and 5th expo) | ||

I want to get past D this season. t.t yeah , i was B-/B newb when i used shity hotkeys and i couldn`t understand why im so bad ? -_- So i change them and it took me like 1 moth to use to it , and then suddenly i was able to really kick some asses like a boss.So before late game (just because in late game u have too many units) my personal hotkeys are 1-3 units , 4-9 hats , 0 special unit or building (defiler/qeen or hydra den/spire/evo/defiler mouth)Let`s say we play standard ZvP , before late game u don`t need more then 3 groups of units , everything else focus on macro.After late game i personally use F- keys for macro.Just because u need more then 3 groups of units for sure , so how that works - my natural , 3th and 4th bases are in F keys.First u are able to do better vs harassment and pull drones really quick , second in this 3 bases u have most of your hatcheries so it`s really easy to macroing from them whit minimum clicks.In the begining F keys are only useful for transfering drones and protect yourself from harassment. Also , F- keys can be used for rearrange your rally point. Sorry for my awful english , hope u understand me.GG more re ~ | ||

After reconfiguring my hotkey setup (as Zerg) thanks to some awesome suggestions from you guys, I find the most difficult thing to adjust to is cycling through my hatcheries and creating drones. My old setup was my first three Hatcheries on 1-3, so it was very easy to go 1sd 2sd 3sd, but to gain better army/unit control I've started hotkeying my Hatcheries to 4-9 and units to 1-3, but it is very difficult and awkward for me to 4sd 5sd 6sd. Is it just an obvious matter of getting used to something new, or is there an optimal place for your hand on the keyboard? I've always just had my hand on the leftmost side of the keyboard, kinda like I'm playing a shooter using WSAD. I guess I should move it more to the middle, so I can reach all keys equally? Gah, my army control with my old setup was so horrid, but it's so hard to totally switch up what I've been doing for the past 4 or 5 years.  | ||
