Left hand pinky is on CTRL while the other fingers go from 1-6 and then when I need to hotkey more units/buildings I use the right CTRL key (my left thumb is the CTRL) and then the other fingers for numbers 7, 8, 9, and 0. When I need to use the units and buildings I usually use my left hand for 1 - 8 and 9 and 0 are usually Nexus so I don't use them as much. P.S. It helps if you have a multicolored keyboard. Right now my setup is made to look cool but when I plan on going back to SC my white keys are usually Z, D, T, K, S, R, V because of unit hotkeys  + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/0KUg3.jpg) Does the right control actually work for you with that keyboard? I rememeber I had the same keyboard yet it would never register when I tried to bind something with the right control key. | ||

Probably the 2nd Ctrl key can extend your control further. | ||

What shift+# is mostly used for is to add units into already existing groups. Yeah, exactly. I wasn't sure if it worked like that in Brood War or not, since you only have a max of 12 units per group. | ||

It does allow you to select a group of units, and then add it to an already populated group. I didn't realize this for the longest time until a friend pointed it out. I only use keyboards that have ctrl at the bottom left. Laptops can be especially troublesome because some models like to place the Function key at the bottom left. | ||
