Is there an automatic detonate for burrowed banelings ? i.e. I burrow a baneling do other micro/macro stuff if anything walks over my bane it auto detonates without my micro ?

The closest is auto unburrow, which will cause it to unburrow if anything walks near it, at which point it will charge the enemy or stand still if it's gone, or just be shot and explode anyway.

Thank you; that's close enough for what I want to try in the zvz MU anyway.
And there is a hotkey for this auto-unburrow feature ?

need suggestion on ZvP strategy
so i do the standard 3 base vs ffe opener, but instead of doing roach ling, i just go pure roach with a +1 burrow/tunneling/speed timing of about 160 population, just poke around and see if theres any opening to kill the protoss 3rd, then i throw down a spire and start +2

if things are going well then i make about 10-12 mutas to try and harass one base while i attack the other, or if they do 2 base collo i use the spire for corrupters,

then i add on about 10 hydras to my army when +2 finishes for a nice max pop all around good vs anything roach/hydra corrupter army while i move to hive tech

but this is where my problem is, there comes a point where even if i engage with a good arc and micro well against forcefields, the max protoss army can kill my army and attack me before i remax even though i have plenty of larva banked,

i just dont know how to be more cost effective or what to do if they protoss turtles on 3 bases and has really good defense
i want to be able to switch to boordlord/infestor/ling for late game but its so hard to transition without dieing when you trade armies

When I see pros play they usually move the screen either by clicking the mini map or by (I'm assuming) holding down the middle mouse key and moving the mouse. Or, of course, by using hotkeys for units, buildings or F-hotkeys for locations. Rarely do I see anyone good move the screen by "pushing" the outer edge of it with the mouse cursor. Okay, TSLPolt is a screen pusher and there are some other amazing players who do that too, but from what I can see the majority of the good players seem to do the hold-down-middle-mouse-key-and-move-mouse technique.

I have been trying that technique myself but I'm using the Logitech MX1000 where the middle mouse "button" is a scroll wheel and sometimes when I press it in the heat of the battle I end up zooming which is very annoying.

So what's the pro way of doing that? Get another mouse? Use another key to do the mouse-drag moving of the screen?
