Massive changes uploaded to support next balance patch:
https://github.com/bobo38/TheCoreLite

Change summary:
– Space can no longer be used for unborrow due to conflict with command card (now burrow and unborrow are available for all ground zerg units apart lurkers)
– Decloak switches from 4 to Space due to Stukov's infested banshee
– oracle ability reshuffle for pulsar to mimic cloak/decloak
– many unbound fixes => campaign kerrigan ability reshuffle mostly and change in coop ignite afterburners
– side effects: Nova mission pack new issue => lib siege and yamato gun Space alternates are broken

some testing before next release, some work needed to adjust README.md and clean up bugs

last change before releasing v2.3.4 in the next days:
- Space now used for cloak and pulsar on (v2.3.3: F)
- F now used for decloak and pulsar off (v2.3.3: 4)

Due to infested banshee and zerg burrow/unburrow incoming implementation, we reshuffle like that: Space is accessible with thumb and may be better for fast access or queuing. Energy draining ability are still lower position

Thanks a lot for the video! I like you introducing the hotkey trainer and your training maps. I think it could be pretty useful to ramp up muscle memory while adopting any new keyboard layout. I will probably spend some time reaching my benchmarks with hotkey trainer!

Lurker burrow is both Space and 4 (4 is an alternate): so that either key works! Space is 1st to be random friendly (siege tank similar siege key is Space, and unsiege is R just like unburrow), and optimized. Space cannot be used as standard burrow because of spell caster like infestor and ravager for whom Space is useful to land spells

More generally Space is used in most of the command cards, it's the primary key for all useful spells/abilities because your thumb is always on it. Lurker burrow is one of the time critical abilities to be bound to Space

Currently working on Terran keys optimisation "select worker/halt" ergonomics, "liftoff/land/techlab/reactor" and some other changes, it will be released as TheCore Lite 2.4. Before that I am in clean-up, maintenance and hotfix mode to support coop changes, reported bugs and upcoming patch

Thanks for the great work! I've switched to TheCoreLite from TheCore because it's easier on the MacBook and I like it so much. I think I'll keep it.

Does anyone here have Jakatak's original TheCore Lite, or something close to the original file? I lost mine and I don't feel like learning a new one.

Edit:
Forget it. Found it.

Trying to get back to the game after a long time since the launch of LotV. I remembered I was using TheCore Lite back then, and checked your GitHub recently too for update. I was so glad it is still active. Thanks for the effort!

This is a fantastic layout for a new player.
As the author already noted, the weakness is the position of the Ctrl key (a bit for Alt key as well).
Suggestion to improve: rebind Ctrl and Alt to gaming mouse buttons. I also change camera binding to Ctrl-4/5/E/R/D/F/C/V. Thus eliminating all hand movement.
Hope the author take into consideration to create a gaming mouse specific layout.

hi Neomax!! Thanks for the appreciation

TheCore Lite is in maintenance mode, no big changes expected. I want to keep supporting all existing keyboard layouts (maybe some new if effort is limited), all modes (campaign/coop) with priority on ladder.

About gaming mouse specific layout, you are encouraged to use TheCore Lite as a baseline, from where you can further customize your setup

Sharing your setup on Discord channel or anywhere over the Web is cool from community dynamics etc… In case you've done a change that you think would benefit to all TheCore Lite users, please file a bug on TheCoreLite GitHub repo, or contact me directly (so that I file the bug).

Does anyone know why control + shift is used to create a group and not just shift?

Hi Comedy, Shift is used to go to other camera location while being able to queue commands: it's an old-school TheCore 2 best User Interface tricks, that is kept for resilience reason
