Wait, I'm confused now. Do you or do you not spam S?

If you spam click on a mineral patch with a worker it moves around a bit (along the edge of the patch) until it finally settles in.

If you hit S, it won't move while you're spam clicking and that makes it a tab bit easier (according to OP).

^ That's what this thread started with.

I don't see much diffirence between this method and timing your workers just by right clicking. If you don't spam right click, but actually time it well they stay in sync, unless new probe tries to take this patch, so either way you will have to adjust them again somethimes.

On another note, on shattered temple when i do my split, 2 workers are synchronized on one close mineral patch from the very first second, i have no idea how lol.

I don't get what you mean. What's even S? I'm using the grid layout where this is 'gather minerals' iirc, so this is a command that requires a left click (on a patch) for completion, so hitting S before clicking right has no effect whatsoever (one single rightclick would even just escape the mode where you are expected to choose a patch if that makes any sense). I picked up in this thread that you were meaning hold pos but this doesn't work either. If I hit hold pos just when a worker is touching an occupied patch and right clicking it directly after, he'll still bounce off and even worse, this will somehow push away the mining worker when it returns from mining (don't know how that's possible tho since he should still be in mining mode and walking through everything).
So right now I'm also moving new workers back so the line up as good as possible but if you don't time this perfectly on close patches, you still have to spam adjust them and they'll still bounce of after 2-3 mining rounds which pretty much sucks.

S = Stop
in Grid it's W (aka "Wait")

wtf. any unit has an action named "stop". When the drone comes near the mineral patch and this is already mined by another drone. hit stop, so the drone will not run away searching for another free patch, when the other worker finished mining, immediately let the stopped drone mine it. this way you can mineral stack perfectly with pretty few apm waste.
