Hello- I mainly play protoss- And I find myself constantley not able to do what I want fast enoughf.

I try drilling mouse speed and acuracy by playing a custom map that only has 4 min right against the Nexus- And I just practice telling em to mine and do that over and over

i use the f keys and the 1-9 and the letters as quick commands

but are there any more drills to increase speed- and are there any more hotkeys that I'm missing- or anyway to reprograhm the keyboard?

In reps the gosu players' left hand seems to stay over the (ert-sdfg-cv)keys- That would be allot easier than trying to press 1 twice to look at my zealots then 0 twice to look at my nexus area.
any ideas? O_O

I use 1-3 for troops, 4 for special units like DA's and stormers, 5 for my main nexus, 6 for my 2nd expo, 7 for my first expo, 8 for my shuttle, 9 for my robo, and 0 for my obs.
When I need to macro I press f2 for my gates, f3 for my choke, and f4 for where my opponents shit mainly is (like where the terran is pushing)

I'm at school and I'll edit later

use the fork to slowly cut 1/3 of your keyboard (use napkins for juice) at a time, then eat.

edit to contribute: There is no real shortcut, you just have to play a ton of games. As long as you are using your hotkeys you will gradually get faster.

Jesus.

Yeah well just remember to use hotkey and somewhat spam with your mouse so you're 'warm', how much you're apm usually is? Cause obviously apm isn't any key to success. Usually you just need to play more, too much hotkey spamming just distracts you, apm will increase as your skill does, if it's like below 100 at least.
It takes a fool to remain sane.

The stickiest of the icky

Anyways, spamming every now in then really does help you get used to hotkeys. Also, I used to just think this was a myth, but watching first person vods is amazing inspiration to try to be asian
ok dont not so good something is something ok ok ok gogogo
