Considering I have no terran experience, and that I played zerg in sc2, I have no reason not to optimize everything. I've got small hands, so keeping them closer to the f keys is a big plus as well. It's really annoying the didn't allow rebinding of the f-keys, they hurt my poor hands

I suppose I can rebind whatever I want with xkb since I play via wine, but I'd like to keep it on a level playing field :D
For instance using asdf for regular binds, then camera keys on E R and G, and maybe control groups on Z X C V and B would be a pretty massive (unfair) advantage once properly learned.

i think changing your hotkeys like that would make hardly any difference at all lol maybe if you were a top foreigner that efficiency would give you a slight edge but i kind of doubt it

I think it would make a lot of difference to me. With my hands I can barely even rebind f4, and when I use it I need some time to find my way back on the keyboard (and after writing touch for years I don't think it's gonna get any faster with practice)

Might give it a shot, it's pretty easy to set up (although going back is probably gonna suck lol)

After giving it a shot I can report that it significantly improved my play after getting used to it. For instance vs fast lurkers I've had a much easier time controlling my dudes. I ended up adding ctrl to caps as well, which is much better for my wrists. I'm not sure if I'm gonna keep it like this or not. One one hand it feels like an unfair advantage, but on the other hand my wrists dont hurt :D
