I'm not a good player by any means but I feel that I've found a good hotkey setup for me. I kinda pulled together bits and pieces of what I've seen friends and pros do.

Early Game:
1 & 2 are probes - I normally use 2 as my scouting probe and 1 for a probe that is on the end of the mineral line so its really quick to go back and build
3 is my first nexus, though I also bind it to 0
4-6 are gates - I hotkey my core to 5 for a minute or so at the very begining while its build/while I'm waiting for the resources to upgrade goon range (this is when I go any build which goes 1 gate then core else it will be my forge or just another gate)
7 is my robo
8 is an obs
9 is nexus at my natural
0 is main nexus

I generally use F2 over my main F3 over my nat, then switch to 3rd and 4th expos, and keep F4 for my main set of gates. I will set 4, 5, and 6 in the middle of different clusters of gateways for easy macro and the rebind them with units as I go. If I get to really late game I generally have 1-5 or so as units then the rest as gates and use F2 and F4 for quick waypoint switching.

f3 main f4 nat (its not f2 cuz my laptop f2 is too far to the left side to hit f2 and s for making scvs). my nat ends up being my rally point so that covers that

1-3 units
4-5 gates (sometimes 6 if I have tons of them)
6/7 - 0 for nexi to make probes (if you hit 0p0 really fast it ends up centering to the nexus, so I can tell the newly made probe to go mine or w.e. and i do this for the first 4 or what nexi i need)

i keep and my upgrades and important buildings like stargates/robo near my nexi so I can use the fkeys for them.
Iv been here for 5.5 years. My other accounts are named "Sonu" and "Dalroti" || I had some more but I cant find them XD || known in sc2 as "Sonu"
