I tried the backspace thing, but that key is so akward. I really feel that using a mouse/keyboard with a macro option is cheating because the larva queen combo is in the game to separate the pros from the casuals a little bit more, and if I don't learn how to handle it 'properly' I might aswell just skip playing the game.

On the other hand, I can't seem to customize the hotkeys- what's up with that? Pretty awful! Will it be in by release? I'm using the grid when I play, I think it really is the best- and so I was thinking of hotkeying the baselooking (or whatever) to a key close to my left hand, such a §½, or perhaps even tab (since I never, ever do any tabbing when I play, and it might feel more natural)

If you just want something that for sure works than psy is really good and I'd start off with what he does or else try to get some reps of some good zergs and just copy their hotkeys. As a sidenote I've noticed tlo has some crazy hotkeys as terran. I watched one game where I noticed he had his orbital command on 1, I think factories on 3, rax on 4, and I think units were on 2.

I'm nowhere near as good as psy but in diamond and I've tried every system for injecting and I've found that putting the hatches on 5+ and manually injecting is the fastest and easiest way for me because there are lots of times I need to make a certain unit asap from a certain hatch and it's faster for me to select the hatch and make the units than have to hit tab.

I inject larva by mapping all queens to 2 and holding shift, pressing v, and clicking the hatchery icons on the minimap.
algebraic!

if you have a mouse with 2 thumb buttons hotkey top one to queens and bottom one as backspace then shift clickV press bottom until you are all injected...

you can do it in one natural stroke

I prefer the 55v 66v method compared to all the others. Not only do I find it a lot faster with my finger placement, but it's also a nice reminder of things to do inside your base.

Minimap injecting works really well for me. Just make sure your queens are synced up or they'll wander around.

If you have good precision I like minimap injections. Make sure though taht you have a queen near each hatch, otherwise you'll have them wandering around awkwardly.

honestly, i think if i ever had enough hatcheries that i had to use this method instead of doing it manually, i probably couldn't macro from all those larva anyway. Still, clever

Of course, you'll get a lot of hate for using a macro keyboard.... but I think mechanics like spawn larva without autocast are stupid and tedious and shouldn't be in a GAME.

I know right? I mean what reason is there to play a game that requires hand movements?

knowing TLO i'm sure there's a reason. 5d6s is what most people use to make a marauder and a tank, but it really isn't that ergonomic, you have to twist your hand out at a weird angle and the pattern on the number row and home row is reversed, whereas if you made it with 3s4d, you can keep your hand off the edge of your keyboard and the progression is more natural, plus it's easier to tab

i actually like that a lot now that i think about it, though i'd have to adjust it since i use my starports more than my facts and i split up my raxes. but i might try that ordering and use 567 for units. i use my macro keys 200x more than my unit control anyway
