JD hotkeys his first hatchery to 4 and 0, first Overlord to 2. Eventually he'll override grp 4 with units and just use 0 to macro from his main. As for what fingers he uses, I have no idea. :D

i think most of the important hotkeys in SC are positioned on or around w, a, s, and m. (atleast, unit upgrades)

Not true. Terran Vehicle Plating for example.

Does anyone know have a vid showing Jaedong's hand when he plays or have a good idea on which fingers he used to press certain keys. Also, how the hell does he control 2 groups of Mutalisk as if they're on the same control group?

I believe he uses the same as me, 5 for main, 6 for nat, 7 for 3rd hatch, 4 for expo. I'm not too sure about this.

it would be great to be a zerg player with really short pinky/ring/middle fingers to maneuver easily around those close-together keys, and then have a freakishly long index/thumb for reaching across your hatchery keys

when I play zerg I do
muta:
s-pinky
m-thumb

its easy to cycle though my hatches with my ring mid and index finger already on numbers.

I couldn't imagine moving my hand all the way down ....

Use your feet together with your hand, you can cover more keys.

I'm nodding over here with what red.venom said, only middle finger S/index finger O for overlord??
That is a huuuge stretch.

I go pinky on S and index finger on O

Yep I barely stretch that far and I'm 2m tall and have the biggest hands of anyone I know. There is no way to do that comfortably or fast.

I still don't know how to use the F2 thru F8... do u do Ctrl + F2 to assign location?

You can only just F2, F3 and F4. Shift+F2~F4 saves the location. Press F2~4 to go back to that location or "screen".

After trying to practice using this hand positioning real fast, I've realized it kinda looks like the shocker.

But you know what ever wins an osl shouldn't really be made fun of. Go Jaedong.

We weren't making fun of it, I would really like to copy how he places his hands so to increase efficiency and get faster. When I think of it, ring on s and thumb on m is faster than index on m.

OP is worthless without pics.

Also notice in the video how JD's pinky is all stiff and awkward looking lol

PS, I do his position when macroing.
but I switch when battling. I use middle and pointer for numbers, burrow, H, etc and thumb for ctrl, shift, A, S, spacebar.

Actually my hand switches around all the time sometimes I use my thumb for B, to build and closest finger for whatever building. Other times I'll move my hand down and use pointer, middle, and index.

for mine, this is how it goes:

4sd5sd6sd(drone production during micro with mutas)
4-middle finger
s-pinkie finger
d-ring finger
5~0-index finger

4sh5sh6sh7sh8sh(5hatch hydra)
4~5-middle finger
s-pinkie finger
h-index finger
6~0-index finger

4sm5sm6sm(3hatch mutas)
4-middle finger
5~6-index finger
s-pinkie finger
m-thumb

I usually hotkey 1-3 for lings/hydras, 4-9 for hatcheries, 0 for lurkers (cos i can afford to reach for U and Ctrl and Shift buttons)

My F2 is towards main to upgrade/research/building, F3 for rallied area, F4 is anywhere if i wanted to do a flank, so i use F3 and F4 for that..

I use the same hotkeys with the exception of 0 for lurkers and the F-keys

I'm just a beginning ZvP player though. Nice to know I'm doing something right XD

Haha, I've ALWAYS taken my hand off the mouse when I hotkey macro. One hand hits the numbers, the other hits the letters.

You can do what July does, he uses hotkeys to clone them.
1 - 12 scourge
2 - 10
3 - 8
3 - 6 and so on and so forth
