Space bar + Number X = Add selected units to control group X

This post made me thinking....could you actually give SPACE all the functions SHIFT has right now? This would basicly change my whole RTS experience: I would probably need a couple hundred games to get used to, but man this would be SO much more effective than twisting my arm to add units with shift.

Otherwise I realised I just could change the chrono-boost hotkey to space - chrono-boosting would be always easy, regardless of the number the respective nexus would have.

I'm EU so i couldn't test my idea on the PTR ..anyway the space bar can be really usefull even alone i guess ..for chronoboost and much more. The shift+space bar for injection will be huuge for me =)

Yeah, I think only a few keys (Ctrl, alt, shift) can be combined with other keys to make a single hotkey. For instance, I wanted to replace ctrl with capslock to make it easier to create control groups, but I couldn't bind capslock together with the number keys.

I like the idea of the shift+space for larvae injections. This manages to do it with the least amount hand movement.

Another one that hasn't been mentioned is using Shift + WASD to control the camera. Sometimes I find this to be quicker and more precise than dragging to the edge of the screen or middle click dragging.

As zerg putting the town hall key right next to your hatchery hotkey makes a lot of sense to me,

Something like y (if you use 5 for your hatcheries)

Actually Boxer used to control the camera with the arrow-keys WAY back in BW....

Just to say that 1.) your suggestion could be useful and 2.) that it, after all, doesn't really matter "how" you play in order to become good lol
