Tilde (~ key) will certainly see a big surge in use, and using ctrl/alt/shift/caps as key modifiers will allow us to do a lot more then we used to. Expect grid layouts as well.

Grid is great for trying out the game but a sure way to keep sucking at it forever.


Explain how a hotkey setup would make you suck at the game "forever"?

The only relevant criticism of grid I've ever read is how siege and unsiege on the same key is risky, and it is, probably a good idea to change unsiege to something else. But for pretty much everything else, grid is noob friendly and I can't see at all how it could limit someone in his progression.

I've been researching hotkeys layouts all week in anticipation of neo Brood War.

The Core layout seems to be the most ergonomic one but a) it doesn't work in BW yet with the lack of some remapping functions and b) it seems to be customized for SC2 specifically.

It's unfortunate because I don't have SC2 and I'd really like to try it; my wrists hurt.

since there is no matchmaking yet for BW, sc2 is just as free for now, get the starter edition and you can try the core in customs

maybe you can figure out what translates over to BW

One thing to note: if you play zerg you will want to change rally to W

Also there is a bunch of stuff that has a hotkey but isn't in the game (like researching abilities that are already available)




Am I doing something wrong or? Because I don't have a "hotkeys" folder in my StarCraft folder.

Edit: Nevermind, I'm retarded. You have to change a key first in the options ingame, before it automatically creates the folder.

So I use Space for pretty much everything on Z for the Grid and it jumps to last alert as default. I assume this is hard coded in?

Sad because with that in place my muscle memory kicks in and I turn from an absolute garbage BW player to a semi okay one mechanically.

But that jump to last alert is an absolute killer :'(

Edit : Fixed it with Autohotkey to change space to ] while playing SC. Works a charm. w00t

I'm a little confused. The grid hotkeys provided on Page 6, are they for BW or SC2? I've loaded it up and I ~think~ they're for BW, but some confirmation would be nice since I'm rather clueless to the SC series.

Another question:
Location for windows: "C:\Users\<user>\Documents\Starcraft\hotkeys\$device\keys.txt"

I tried creating the folder "hotkeys" and then "$device", but it didn't work ingame (none of the hotkeys changed).
Am I doing something wrong?
Someone said that, when you change a keybinding ingame, it'll create these directories. I'm not seeing how I can change any hotkeys in BW; so how do I create these directories the proper way?

I suppose I'll laugh if none of this is for BW but SC2, rather. QQ

Yeah, I've got the same problem. Starting to think the only way is to do that stuff where you modify the patch_rt.mpq file. Really don't want to though.

Edit: Is this only a feature on the Public Test version?

This thread is a bit outdated. Blizzard removed customized hotkeys from patch 1.18, but they may still bring it back later.

One thing to note: if you play zerg you will want to change rally to W

Also there is a bunch of stuff that has a hotkey but isn't in the game (like researching abilities that are already available)


This is amazing, so glad I found it!

Shift + F2, F3, F4 to set location

then just press F2, F3 or F4 to jump to that location

I thought I'd give this thread a bump because I'm curious to see if anyone's had any interesting successes with changing their hotkey layouts in SC:R since the last post.

Personally, I never really used custom hotkeys in SC2, other than changing the location hotkeys back to shift+F2-F4 (they were like, ctrl+F5 or something like that by default), so I didn't think I'd really mess around with hotkeys at all once I started playing SC:R, since I'd gotten used to the BW default hotkeys over 15+years of playing it.

But recently, as I was practicing muta micro on custom maps and later getting annoyed with patrol micro vs. scourge messing with my hand positioning on my keyboard during actual games, I decided to re-bind patrol to Z instead of P, and oh man, has it been a huge help. Being able to use both hold position and patrol interchangeably without having to move my hand also makes micro'ing vs. marines much more fluid.

I could totally see terrans benefiting from this little switch as well, being able to keep your hand on the left side of the keyboard for all your macro'ing while controlling vultures and whatnot.

Think you are 10 months late to this :p I re-binded all my keys the day SCR was released. Most helpful ones so far are patrol to W, siege to E, mines to R and irradiate to R.

Pretty sure 90% of Protoss players would re-bind probes and pylon as well.

A walkthrough for noobs like me:
* After launching SC:Remastered, instead of choosing Single Player/Multiplayer, click Hotkeys. Pick one of your units or buildings on the left pane, then click one of the abilities on the right pane. Press a different key to reset that hotkey. (Example, click on the SCV, click Move (default is "S"), and press "." to reset it.)
* Now click Save and exit the game.
* Now if you go to the directory <documents>\Starcraft\Hotkeys\$device, you'll see a file there, keys.txt
* If you open it, you can confirm that your change got saved:
STR_MOVE=.
* Now open SC again, go into Multiplayer Broodwar, join Battle.net, create a game, and in that panel be sure that "Custom Hotkeys" is set to Enabled. (This is the default.)
* Start the game, and click on your SCV. Hover over the command card in the lower right, and you'll see that the hotkey for Move has changed to "." Success!

However, here's where I have a problem.
* Quit the game, close SC.
* Go to <documents>\Starcraft\Hotkeys\$device, edit the keys.txt file and change the line to:
STR_MOVE=k
* Relaunch SC, go to the hotkeys menu again.

Expect: SCV move should be set to "k"
Actual: SCV move is still set to "."

I did this troubleshooting because several people have said you can just replace the entire keys.txt file (example thread: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/brood-war/520664-118-custom-hotkeys).... but this doesn't seem to be true anymore? Maybe you need to rebind them all manually?

Edit: It's not *that* much work to edit them all via Blizzard's interface, and they all seem to work fine after restarting. But...hopefully this will save people the hassle I went through of fooling around with keys.txt: It doesn't work that way, just change them by hand.
