Hey JaKaTaK, I basically can't play the HOTS campaign until you come out with a new hotkey setup for it, because i'm not going back to standard after learning your awesome setup!

How soon might that be?

Cheers,

Nix

First thing I did on release day was manually fix campaign keys. The main things you need to key are abilities. Refer to the image I posted here when doing so and you'll see for the most part you are assigning abilities to S, W, X, 2 (and usually in that order of convenience). When you must assign a lot of buttons on one command card, note from the image which of the blue squares are available to use.

That will fix it for the most part. However there are some missions where Kerrigan's abilities do not change from default. I believe Sixtus in TheCore thread has done a lot of research on this and determined lines that can be manually added to the hotkey file to fix this (they can't be changed within the game ui). I hope he makes that data available in a nice format that could be ported to Chameleon easily.


Edit: I just researched the proper way.

1. Read and understand Sixtus' post here to add the required lines and see which ones can use the same or similar hotkeys.
2. Add the lines to the end of the hotkey file and add your key assignment to the end of each. (You will be adding to the end of the [Commands] section).
3. Alphabetize the entire [Commands] section: Copy and paste all lines under the [Commands] section of the file into an alphabetizer like this one (with the Ignore Case option selected). Replace the list in your hotkeys file with the alphabetized version by copy/pasting.

Can you link your hotkey profile so I can use it for my own campaign ( I actually stopped playing because I didn't want to unlearn my Chameleon set-up

Looks pretty solid, but I'm not sure if you've noticed that there is no Move command present on that sheet...

Actually, if I'm not mistaken, there is no Move command on the spreadsheet either. What happened to it? What lead to cutting it out? I'm curious now.

It's arguably one of the most important keys for engagements (especially for Zerg). Although you can just Right Click to Move, this doesn't keep your army from clumping up, in fact, it facilitates clumping (you learn this when using Lings, Mutalisks, Stalkers, Marines, and Void Rays). In light of Widow Mine play, Blinding Cloud, and Time Warp, this concept is cemented even further. Doing slight splits and then executing Move commands keeps you in a near-constant concave formation, the benefits of this are game-changing. It's useful for any race, and makes the difference between dominating and scraping by. Perhaps I am just looking too far into it or missing an important detail. I'd recommend plucking out Stop and using Move, as Hold Position is superior in almost every way if this was indeed an oversight.
