I'm only a D level on iccup but this is my general structure. Works well enough at my level
F2 -> buildings, F3 -> expansion, close to second nexus for rallying, F4 -> new location to rally
0-4 -> units
5,6,7 -> nexus(find it easier early on to use these than camera locations to make workers and such)
8,9,0 -> other things lol.
I'll eventually make 5 for arbiters(or hts) late game, etc...

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.


yea i listened to it, dunno i dont really feel comfortable hotkeying my nexus's to 098. feels really awkward


use your thumb, it's pretty easy to hotkey on 890 by stretching with pinky on ctrl and thumb on the number


but i have to move my entire body to do that, and even then i can only reach ctrl + 9

I like this man's thinking.

My P hotkey setup is

1234 - Units
5 - Middle of the first Clump of Gateways
6 - Middle of the second Clump of Gateways/Robotic Facility/StarGate clumps.
7 - Middle of the third clump of Gatways/Robotic Facility/StarGate clumps.
8 - Third Nexus
9 - Second Nexus
0 - First Nexus
Usually main base mined out by the time I take a fourth so I just shuffle the hotkeys into the next nexus.

You want to have your nexus at 8, 9, and 0 because it is close to P (probe production).

Nexus at 4/5 etc is perfectly fine and is super common among Korean pros ie Bisu. Some like Kal and Nony even used 1 for Nexus.

In the end though, it all comes down to what works for you.

Early game I do 0 nexus, 1 scouting probe, 56789 gates, 1234 units. Pretty basic and easy, just like the protoss race

Oh God, within day after returning he is beginning to follow the footsteps of great man lol.

As side note, I'm surprised this bug hasn't shown up in any of the Kespa games. I guess pros discovered it during practice and took extravprecaution to prevent it.

That's one reason why having 098 as nexus is better. You never have to un-hotkey them
