I dont know, I feel that with key customization it would turn more into this harcore keyspamming fest and it would be less focused about the tactics... I dont know why but as soon as I think about customizing hotkeys my hands start to shake, I feel nauseous and depressed. It something about it that just seem so fucking WRONG. Dont mind me, I'll just start playing wow again... o.O It's just your hotkeys, lol. It doesn't matter what they are. HuK will probably change them to the old BW Hotkeys (I heard he was more used to them in a day 9 daily, dunno) and god knows how much more 'inefficient' they are. Also maybe Flash will start playing SC2 now that he can change his hotkeys to the old BW way (Lol crossing my fingers) I know that I am changing the hell out of the immortal hotkey (WTH was blizzard thinking, I when every other unit is stuff like E, R, T, C, A, D, S ECT) and also forge upgrades to W,A,S (Weapons armor shields). | ||

I dont play zerg though, I considered that, but it's *way* more awkward and slow than click W click W click. Try it out. Unless your thumb is much more dextrous than mine, there's a huge difference. | ||

I think the infestation pit and the spawning pool are the only unit tech structures that don't use the same hotkey as producing the unit from larvae. And wtf at the use of keys like I, L, and to a lesser extent M. Blizzard's interface design has pretty much always sucked ass. :/ | ||

Immortal to R W - Ground weapons upgrade ~ is probably a good choice, but seems a little awkward, requiring you to either twist your hand uncomfortably, or hold shift with your thump and tap ~ with your middle finger." Why not just use pinky to hold shift and ring finger to hit ~. I dunno, being a guitar player adds a lot of dexterity to my left hand, so I'm fine with hotkeys. | ||

To do an injection cycle: 5, V, press and hold Shift with left pinky, tap Space with left thumb, click, Space, click, Space, click, ..., release Shift. For those wondering: this does not screw up the normal, unshifted function of the Space key (that is, centering the screen on the last event). | ||

I started with the standard hotkeys(not grid) that I had used before and changed this: All buildings with upgrades are now Q, W, E in order of their appearance on the grid besides a few like the lairs etc which doesn't have upgrades in the top left order. Metabolic boost - Q Adrenal Glands - W Ground attack upgrade - Q Ranged attack upgrade - W Ground carapace upgrade - E etc, etc. Buildings: infestor den - F ultralisk den - G Nydus Network - R Units: - all units from drones are standard hotkey as before just changed these 2. Ultralisks - G Nydus Canal - R Hatchery/Lair/Hive: Pneumatized Carapace - T I just played a few games with it, and it's really intuitive, i didn't change everything but now i have like a hybrid of standard and grid and i love it so far! | ||

General R - Patrol. P is just retardedly far from everything. § - Town camera. (The key left of 1), I already use this and it's awesome for mass injecting. <|> - (left of Z) Could possibly put control group 0 here for all hatcheries or all queens. F2,F3,F4 - 8,9,0. Oh, and does anyone know if it is possible to have alternate hotkeys for control groups? Because it would be nice to have group 8 in keys 8 and F2. Terran R - Planetary Fortress. Because P. A - Mech armor upgrade to unify upgrade hotkeys across races. R - Air armor upgrade to get rid of P. E - Ghost energy to get rid of M E - Hellion blue flame because I sucks and it makes sense since E is also hotkey for hellion. F - Lift off/land. Easy to memorize from "fly", and because L sucks. Zerg A - Lair. F - Infestation Pit. It's better and makes sense since infestor hotkey is F also. E - Pneumatized Carapace. E - Melee attack upgrade. M sucks and to unify attack upgrade hotkeys across races. E - Metabolic Boost. I could probably change spire upgrades to E/A to unify with other upgrades but A/C is fine, and I don't want to make too much changes. That's why I wouldn't change ultra den hotkey, U is still barely fine for a unit that isn't massed like zerglings and roaches. Protoss S - Mothership. R - Immortal. E - Ground attack upgrade to unify with other attack upgrades. A - Khaydarin Amulet. C - Build interceptors. Because alt+C is actually comfortable to hit.

Indeed, R was way better, I might change that back too. But you need to change burrow hotkey to something else then, B probably isn't too bad for it though. And hope the expansions won't mess everything up too much. | ||

EDIT: Can Queens burrow? I've never seen them do it. | ||

Can you change, let's say burrow to "B" just for queen alone or not, or it will be for all units? Anyways your layout seem really good, pretty cool when you can change many important upgrades to "E". | ||

So many times I tried to press S on ladder instead of E to build a probe because I was busy getting some stupid campaign achievement before that, and vice versa. | ||

Anyways your layout seem really good, pretty cool when you can change many important upgrades to "E". I can't say anything for sure, since I have no access to PTR. I did however fiddle around a bit with hotkeys before the hotkeys folder method was discovered, and if I remember correctly, yes, you can set different hotkeys for burrow on different units. And this screenshot from the patch thread, to me it looks like you can set hotkeys for individual units: ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/N4hYy.jpg) Personally I woudn't change it like so though, since I believe consistency is important. Even if you only wanted to burrow queens once in a hundred games. And that's also the reasoning behind the mothership hotkey change. I really don't ever want to use M-key. And yeah, E is probably my favorite button You could set many other upgrades for it too, like roach speed, hydra range etc. but G is just fine in my opinion, so I probably won't bother changing those. | ||
