Thanks for the thread, OP. It helped me realize that I can have 2 keybinds for "Infested Marine" spam. I find it safer to do it this way than shift+clicking.
It's a trap!

Pretty interesting. Maybe if I get into grandmasters I can worry about this kind of stuff. Few weeks ago I changed my attack from A to space and lost like 50 games. But im used to it now !

Isn't it better to hold hotkey and it will repeat with fastest speed?


And then go back and cancel if you queue up too many units/overmake a certain type of unit? True, you want speed, but precision is more important than speed every time.

I have been playing stringed instruments for the past ten years. I am also very very much into anything that has to do with manual dexterity and small finger movements.

At the limits of manual dexterity it is much faster to flutter or tremolo two fingers than it is to move just one. For example: even if pressing r didn't do anything it would be faster to press "ererer" then "eee". If you factor in that pressing "r" in this situation would actually do something as well then it's a nobrainer pressing "ere" is at least twice as fast as pressing "eee". From a purely physical perspective not doing this would be sub-optimal in my opinion.

yea this was something i got lazy around but wanted to do. The first thing i noticed was the backspace inject method and i reconfigured it to soemthing i like better. this definetly does show the power of custom hotkeys and the benefits it can bring. one may argue this just makes sc2 easier blablabla. regardless everyone (pros) will reach the same level of mechanics and this just tweaks it to ur flavour and make it more down to strategy/execution

Thanks for all of the love everyone

Hope you all learned something from this ^_^

Btw, as Zerg, I simply use my screenkeys to check if I need to inject or not.
And then you know what happened all of a sudden?

They're function keys. 2 is Hold Position, 3 is Patrol, 1 is a miscellaneous action (Hold Fire, Liftoff, etc.)

It's in one of the spoilers somewhere

I'm pretty used to the hotkeys now, and I have to say that they're definitely worth switching to. I'm macroing much better now, I just have to get used to using spells more fluidly (like scanning up a ramp, EMPing with ghosts, then stimming and attacking).

I'd been using double-hotkeys for making marines for a while now (A and S), but this is really nice. Thanks!

Hm, these double hotkeys work for ghost's snipe as well?

could be pretty useful there.

As i play random, these kind of hotkeys is purely impossible!!

I just use the same hot keys blizzard with no further modification except for screen views where i utilize the F1 to F4 with the shift key..

There is a lot of allegedly constructive flaming going on. Keyboard layout is clearly important, coming from a guitarist who shreds several hours a day the standard layout and spreading of group hotkeys from 1->0 leads to some really nasty hand stretches. If you can configure your way out of it you have reduced a source of tension.

Musicians learn to play things that sound hard but are actually exceptionally easy to play once you break it down sufficiently and out of context.

'I really think you should of spent the time writing this playing the game as then you would be better' is just a hack to get around admins to say 'L2P Noob'

I use standard hotkeys, those are enough for me...
I just remapped a few so that I am aware of where they are and what they do, like screen hotkeys to f2-f5 as well as upgrades (melee, ranged, and carapace) to a,s,d respectively, just to make life faster... theres a few just little things like the, but I've kept the vast majority of the hotkeys standard. My friend uses grid, but I didn't like it when I was trying it out.

Such an alteration of the hotkeys doesn't seem to be truly beneficial as it can't adapt very well, and your hands get used to odd setups. I like the use of the alternate hotkey for each action, but beyond that, it seems pointless to fix what isn't broken... idk it just seems like you could also hurt your hand because it doesn't seem a very natural setup, like grid/standard is (more, anyway)... idk though

Well..I type a lot, so I basically just moved everything my left hand hits when I type.

OMG so much hate on TL as always.
I've always used my own hotkeys, and I've always seen ways to improve configuration.
For example I'm using ALT+1-0 to create groups. I don't like your configuration, but if it's working for you I see nothing bad in it. Mine is working well for me.
I use R for most of my skills
