Since you've been away for 4 yrs you probably haven't seen the above, but there are a myriad of fpvods uploaded on KoreanBW. A lot of really skilled pros, but mostly Bisu, haaaahahaha.

Don't know if it helps, but my layout is the following:

8, 9, 0 - I should probably use them too

F2 - Save camera on gateways
F3 - Save camera on third
F4 - Save camera on gateways rally point


fabiano confirmed for being protoss hacker, using starports as toss.

I thought the thread was solved by my last post. Mirroring Bisu's hotkey setup exactly may not benifit the mechanics of your hand. But Day9 does a great job of walking through the variations that allow you to play comfortably and effectively at the same time. Really worth listening to. Thank NinaZerg for showing this to me.

heres my Layout

0 - First nexus, 9, 8.
4,5,6,7,8,9,0 = Gateway
1234567890 = Army

Using 098 for nexus is most common, its easy to build probes with becase its so close to the p button. 0p9p8p and you get 3 probes in production.

read the title and was thinking about leaving the reply, "you need to hit control + a number, example: ctrl+1. this will hotkey whatever you selected to that number". I then realized who opened the topic and now I just shake my head :facepalm:
I don't need luck, luck is for noobs, good luck to you though

Or use the right ctrl key, pressing that with your thumb and the number with 3rd/4th finger

Is anything similar to "the Core" for SC2 possible for Brood War? Or does that require significant programming efforts that noone will be willing to put in?

Most people consider it hacking, to use hotkey modifications, as it gives you an unfair advantage over someone who doesn't use hotkey modifications. I personally don't care one way or another, either it has widespread acceptance or it doesn't. If it doesn't get accepted though, then don't do it.

It's not hard at all.

It requires 3rd party software and is generally considered hacking.

KESPA for instance didn't allow it.

Agreed

I usually bind 1 to Nexus, 2 to second Nexus, 3 for units/scout, 4-5-6 to gateways and 0 to Robotics. Once I have a natural and later a third I use F2/F3/F4 for each location and use 1-5 for units. Once I stop probe-production i move my locations-hotkeys so I have F2 at my gateways, F3 at my rallypoint and F4 at either tech-buildings (forges, archive etc) or a second main base to produce more gates there or similar. Works good for me, although it all comes down to personal preferences. If I get a lot of units off two bases I only use location-hotkeys on probes use 1-3/4/5 for units.
