Nada and MKP do all production on 4 and command centre on 5 iirc.

Pretty sure MVP has a hotly for each command centre.
Don't rush me.

I was talking with LZGamer today and he said Select puts all his production on one hotkey, and just tabs through them.

LZ's is 1-3 units, 4 main production, 5cc, 6 nat cc ect.

~ is SCV hotkey instead of S
1 main army
2 2nd army or ghosts n such
3 command centers
4 reactor barracks
5 tech barracks
6 factorys
7 starport
8 scout


I have no idea if it is beneficial at all to have seperate keys for reactor and tech lab but somehow i started using it and i cant change it.

recently changed the scv hotkey, took like 3 games to get used to and i LOVE it

This seems to be standard amongst the korean progamers, from the few replays ive been able to find.

1. Bio;
2. Mech/Ghosts;
3. Air/Drops;
4.Barracks + Factories+ Starports;
5. CC's;
6. Scouting SCV/Upgrades.

Q- patrol ( for splitting marines).

Don't really get why you would bind production buildings separately and use up 3 keys instead of 1.It's much easier and faster to tap tab instead of pressing 6-7-8.

1 Units(early scout etc)
2 Special tactic units( drops etc) Late game casting units/Tanks
3 Ghosts/Raven Harass units.
4 Barracks
5 Factory
6 Starport
7-8 are up for debate. I'll be adding them in when I start more actively.

I play with an azerty keyboard

1-4 - Units
5-6 - E-bay, armory, ghost academies
F - Command center
D - Rax
S - Factories
Q (A on a qwerty keyboard) - Starports

My production hotkeys are very similar to the grid configuration : AZER (QWER)
There are a couple of exceptions though ( SCV : E, BC : B, ravens and banshees are switched...).

I find it much easier with the building hotkeys below the units production ones. It goes very smoothly under my left hand.

And I find necessary to have rax, starports and factories on different keys, in order to assign different rally points.

1-2 army
3 casters
4 ccs
5 all rax, factory, starport, engbay, armoury, ghost academy, techlabs, fusion core

To this day I don't know why people use separate hotkeys for everything. This way is sooooo much easier than anything else I've tried...

Well, you never want to rally only your air units to the enemy base ? Or rally the tanks up the cliff, and the marines down the cliff ?

True, that is an advantage, but in that case I just set rally points individually as I tab through. Also, I used to play zerg, so I'm used to having all units rally to the same spot. :-)

Whatever's comfortable is seriously best, but you really do want to have your tanks, vikings and infantry on separate hotkeys for TvT, and a comfortable drop-hotkey is a godsend too.

Why do you want separate hotkey for tank and infantry in TvT? o;o

3.7k master t here, i do it like this:
1-3 armies (changing all game, depending on what i have and on what i want to do next)
4 cc's
5 rax's
6 fac's
7 starports
8 ebay/armory sometimes, sometimes too lazy

in late late game i sometimes change cc to 0 and make 4 army too, depends on game and on my mood.

playing standard hotkeys and will never change them ^^




This is exactly the setup I use when I play Terran. Same for Protoss just substitute in the Protoss equivalent for production facilities. I think improvement comes when you can change your army hotkeys around throughout the game and not miss a beat. That's something I struggle with.
It is vanity to love what passes quickly and not to look ahead where eternal joy abides. Tiberius77 | Mordek #1881 "I took a mint!"
