I also remapped the "backspace button" which cycles through your bases. to space bar and "attack move" to ` also i remapped " select all warpgates to "backspace button" given i do not play toss much. also I remapped the " save screen location 1, 2 and 3 " to number pad 1,2,3 and to go to them i just use my middle mouse button, shift middle mouse button and control middle mouse button. this is done for all 3 race, that way when i play off race its not a hassle to learn new hotkeys. also for units that do not use particular letters such as creep tumors, i have the spawn creep tumor button blinded to c and v. oh and make sure u have the box checked for buttion sharing for things like cloak and decloak it will help a lot ^^ glhf Cots #778 | ||

As a reference, I use the normal Grid setup, with some modifications to the hotkey file: Attack Move to A Baneling Morph to Q Baneling Explode to D(VERY IMPORTANT!) Load/Unload to E/R Camera Save to Ctrl+F1-8 Base Cam to ` Idle Worker to Tab Cycle Control Group to Capslock | ||

As for tip-top pros, it's hard to say. Most of them do not discuss this kind of thing--they just take it for granted, and you usually do not see any of their hotkey setups on streams. I hate to guess, so I'd say it's pretty situational and every player has what he thinks works for him. I know NoNy has some weird shit going down with his hotkeys, but I don't know about anyone else. As for hotkeys for everything else, I believe I have a penchant for memorizing those things fairly quickly so I never felt the need to go to grid/custom set ups. All in all, there's no set way to set up your hotkeys. But, if you find yourself wasting time in-game wondering what the hotkey for some obscure ability/upgrade is, you should look into changing some things. Overall, do what feels right! | ||

Also seeing as I bind my forge to 7 i hotkey the upgrades to U,I,O Only thing thats not very common about my hotkeys is I i have armies on 4-6 nexi on 1 and F2-F5 for way points Im pretty sure hotkeys setup of Pros also vary a fair bit seeing as people come from different RTS backgrounds and have different play habits | ||

And your key setup sounds really herp a derp derp what happens when people don't have tenkeys, you'd rather control ,shift etc as your camera jumps is setting camera jumps with ctrl+f1 etc etc to set and just use the f-keys like normal people minus the people with tiny hands that aren't fast and can't jump/reach quickly. W selects all warpgates granted its redundant as lots of players still just put their gateways in a control group >_> just like barracks, factories, and any building that doesn't have a weird hotkey like that. Learning is a part of life don't become soo complacent especially if you aren't like you know a pro or grandmaster it should matter if the race's hotkeys are all different. | ||

Jakatak http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=333891 DarkGrid http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=257590 TheCore http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=341878 If I didn't use the core I'd use Jakatak's first layout. | ||

The standard hotkey setup has very low efficiency and high finger travel time, it's only made that way so you can remember things easily. If you learn one of the above mentioned hotkeys (Jakatak, TheCore, or DarkGrid), you'll be able to achieve higher APM than before, thus resulting in smoother play, and better mechanics. Trust me, I play better now that I switched from standard hotkey setup to Jakatak (at this moment I'm also trying to learn TheCore and helping betatest it). | ||

Patrol - Q or Z (default P) Lift - F (default L) Create Location 1 - Shift+F1 Create Location 2 - Shift+F2 Create Location 3 - Shift+F3 Jump to Location 1 - F1 Jump to Location 2 - F2 Jump to Location 3 - F3 idle worker - ~tilde note: you could use F2, F3, F4 instead if you want to keep the idle worker key set to F1 In your sc2 gameplay options, have you enabled Display Command Hotkey Text? I hope you don't end up using one of those horrible custom setups (Darkgrid, TheCore, Jakatak). They're designed/tested by some silver league guy(s) that advertise and make wild claims in every hotkey related thread. I wouldn't listen to anyone that thinks its good to bind control groups to mouse buttons (or keys like ERDF). I really don't think they understand the game well enough to redesign an optimized hotkey layout. | ||

1. Lift to Z 2. Patrol to Q 3. Camera keys to F2 - F5 4. Control group 0 rebound to ` 5. Bunker build remapped fro U to Y. Note I have since switched to theCore. If you are lower level I would go this route as you will have less muscle memory fighting you. | ||
