I'm sure we can all agree that the Queens Inject Larvae is the bread and butter of zergs macro and up until recently I found it quite annoying and hard to remember to use during some intense moments in your game. But here is a quick shortcut i recently found that helps my macro out.
Lets say you're on 3 bases with 3 queens.
1) Put all 3 queens in one hotkey, "3" for example.
2) Push your hotkey to select all of your queens.
3) Push "R" for Inject Larvae.
4) Click your hatchery ON YOUR MINIMAP.
5) Repeat steps 3+4 until all hatcheries have been barfed on.
Voila, you never need to look at your base again to do something as simple as Injecting Larvae. More time for scouting, pressuring, or even more expanding. I found this MUCH easier for me to be constantly macroing.
Hope this isnt already known, and hope it helps!

yea sometimes i miss my hatchery though, you need decent aim ;/

As opposed to hotkeying your queens together with your hatches, hitting R, and clicking your hatcheries in the unit selection bar?

I like this one!
OP I like urs too :D
I love discovering things like this in the game, makes everything so new and exciting. Really makes me think how far the macro mechanics will have come in a few years from now, with Sc2 Bonjawas emerging and blowing minds.

yeah and you can use the same trick with protoss (chrono boost any building, bind all buildings to same group sides pylons/assimilators)

Most people have known this for a long time already... I believe it's in several of the various macro strategy threads

Just don't forget to hotkey all your hatchs together for lazy production!

To just confirm, do you guys group queen and hatch together and then press selection key (say 4) which has the queen and hatch and then select r and tab to hatch?
Sorry if I sound noob, i'll try this out tonight was just wondering if someone could tell me that.
