While warping in units, the move command works as a rally point similar to that of any production buildings, when units finishes warping in, they'll move toward the rally.

Ummm.. yes of course is works with 'w' on the keyboard - where else is there a w?

Or have I misunderstood the question?

You can use shift-click on waypoints to make your marines hump your wall but ensure they're on the right side.

ALT + Hotkey for autocast will also turn it on/off (like repair).

This queen inject through minimap is only a problem if you have lesser queens and more hatcheries. Sometimes based on the distance, the queen starts to walk to the other hatchery.

A quick fix is have individual hatcheries and queens put together, that works really easy. So if you have 3 = Queen + Hatchery , then you hit 3 , press r and click on the hatchery (wireframe model) at the bottom and she injects.

That move larvae thing was really useful. Thanks !

I think this only works when you have no unit/building selected because hitting W would then trigger its respective hotkey.

Btw: The lowest button right next to the mini map deselects what have you have selected at the moment. I am not sure if it has a hotkey too. I will check when I get home from work.

I'm pretty sure it works whenever you press W, even if you have stuff selected. To my knowledge there is no Protoss hotkey besides warpgates that uses W. Correct me if I'm wrong.

ye I played a lot of protoss in BW and when I first played protoss in SC2 i tried to upgrade my weapons in the forge by pressing W [the hotkey of weapon upgrade in SC1], but it selected my warpgates
And all is illuminated.

When I have two hatcheries (one in my natural), sometimes I feel getting a second queen would give me too much larvae that i can't spend. So I would have 5 hotkeyed for both my hatcheries, and i'd memorize which one comes first (i think its usually expansion first, only because my main is morphed into a lair). Then I'd hotkey the queen + 2hatches as 6. I would "r" the correct frame (pertaining my main, for example), and many times i would hold shift and r the other expansion, even if my queen would have to walk there.

At first i would make mistakes, especially if i was doing it quickly. But so far i haven't had a problem with less queens and multiple hatcheries. It also helps to drop creep with an extra overlord between your bases.

BTW, I must've missed the trick, but how do you move your larvae?
I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars teams up to prevent a dick from cutting in at the front. Stay strong, brothers!

For terran it's easy to have all command centers hotkeyed to the same key (7 for me).
You can just select them all and MULE/comsat/boost supply and it will automatically smart cast. Producing workers also gets really easy as it automatically evens out the production.
Same goes for protoss with producing and chrono boosting.

I wonder how people effectively chrono boost without having to switch view though.
The only sensible thing seems to have nexus(es) grouped with production buildings and chrono boost the wireframe, this is a bit of a hassle though unfortunately.
At the moment i group stargate's and robo's with my nexusses to chrono boost them.
Chrono boosting warp gates rarely seems worth it anyway, so I dont bother grouping my nexus with them.
