To most of the people in this thread:

The whole point of using camera hotkeys in the first place is to increase EAPM. In that vein, using F keys for cameras is non-optimal. JaKaTaK has already mapped out a configuration that is as near to optimal as is probably possible: the Core 0.6.

See:http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=341878

In the context of this kind of thinking, the premise of most of these posts is garbage. Please educate yourselves on the concepts of economy of motion and maximum attainable EAPM! Do not use F keys!

Telling people how to play is stupid. JaKaTaK has never made it out of plat and most of the people who fanboy his setup are below that skill level too. Making a hotkey setup that fits you rather than copying what some guy says is best has worked far better for a lot of people.

I missed this thread back in the day, and I'd love to watch the video if it's still somewhere. Anyone has any ideas?

I actually find I use the f keys more when I switch to SC2. I'm so used to hopping back and forth between bases with 00 99 and 88 from BW, but when every Nexus is on one hotkey, double tapping 0 doesn't bring me back to the main base anymore. F2, F3, F4 allows me to do that. (My hotkeys are weird/BW converted so that I don't have to change macro patterns switching between games.)

Really it's one of those things you add in as you are able. I suspect for many people it may be one more thing then they are capable of doing. But you build up your macro pattern without it and start adding it in as you get more comfortable. Macro starts feeling easy, push yourself to add more.

advice for hotkeys: delete all and make your own in a way to use as less as possible and how you feel pressing the keys. Personally I use F1 to F4 to cam, ² 123456 for group and QWERTY for everything else that it i keep with this 3 lines and space bare for main army.
