I downloaded this one handed typing tutor and found out that the honerow keys for one hand are fghj. So I thought why not use the ring finger on b for Build Pylon and then switch to the middle finger for bgbfbc and use the index finger for ba. I find finding and practicing a method for two handed touch typing ws very benificial, and maybe someone can pass tips over to me for protoss?

To cycle through my nexuses for probe production on mid-game (2 expos), I usually double tap 4 with my index, build probe, then F3 with my middle finger to go to other expo, then F4 with my middle or index to go to my second expo. edit: and there goes my 1337 post! | ||

When you macro, you want 4-7 as your Gateways. Keep your pinky on Z, and use whatever finger feels comfortable for 4-7 (Pointer would probably be best so you have your middle finger on D). 8 should be your robo since it's close to the 'o' key. 1-3 should be enough for units early to mid game. | ||

No, but really. Just play the way you feel confortable with, when playing enough games you wont even think of how you put your hand it'll just feel natural. Dont think there are any good shourtcuts or a "correct" way to make you faster like you seem to be looking for. | ||
