Obviously I see that it is designed for people to use their right hand but since I cannot detach my keyboard it would have to be the option I would have to use. I am still extremely new and figured I may as well learn a good hotkey system than learn standard then have to adapt to a new layout. If you're using a laptop, then you should try out Chameleon or DarkGrid for optimized layouts. TheCore really does not work on laptops. | ||

Can you link chameleon or dark grid? I think I heard of dark grid, are those updated for hots? | ||

DarkGrid (http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=257590) is no longer being supported, so it isn't fully compatible with HotS (you'd need to make some adjustments to it). I can't really comment on fleetkeys, since I don't know too much about it, but I'd guess that any custom set-up is probably going to be superior to standard. | ||

@JDub Abso-fucking-lutely do that change for chat. (If you wouldn't mind updating the version to 0.6.3 that would be excellent as well) | ||

Moved everything that's currently on G to Enter, since that is a pain to reach on a ergo keyboard (other side of the split). | ||

I am a PRM. When I play the HOTS campaign, should I download ZRM or will PRM support the campaign?! Hints or tips would be appreciated. Best Niklas | ||

Opening chat accidentally is hugely annoying, and may contribute to bad first impressions of the layout. On the other hand, new users not knowing how to open chat without Enter could overtake Ctrl-Shift-0 as the #1 FAQ... | ||

You can play any campaign with any version of TheCore. So, use PRM  (also you can offrace without changing layouts). Each file is designed to make offracing as similar as possible to main racing. So if your Probes are on I, your SCVs will be on I. Your Forge/Evo/EBay will be on the same key, etc etcI think we should consider moving chat to Tab for all xRxx layouts. What do you all think? | ||

2) in XRM, enter can take the place of whatever = is set to (notably, build advanced). I can't find enter in the dev doc, but I assume its better than = since it is a curl as opposed to a reach of somewhat equal length. I could be mistaken though. 3) in ZRMM, ' is the suggested cg for viper, and [ is consume. This is a double press. Should we change it to M? M is the better key anyways. 4) in ZRXM, what control group do you suggest putting all overlords on? M5 with evo/spire? What control groups do you suggest for lings and banes? EDIT: 5) For ZRMM, what do you think about putting creep on [? Since creep queens are unhotkeyed, an ability is ok on the index finger, and [ is better than H. 6) N(4) is better than 8(5) and U(5) yet those gets priority for larva and zerg buildings as well as for Protoss and Terran abilities/cams if I am reading correctly. Why? EDIT : Actually, according to the dev doc, the order for the keys with scores of 4 and 5 should be H N 8 U. Zerg's order is 8 H U N. Terran's is 8 U H N, and Protoss I am not sure, but it seems to be 8 H N U or 8 H U N. Is it possible that you never modified these things after you found out the pinkie was great? The only strange thing I can see is the prevalence of 8 over H and N, which use the pinkie. Other than that, I'm not sure what's going on. Am I missing something obvious? We both know I tend to :p. Further, M is better than K yet K gets priority. I understand why that needs to be the case for units because of stop and base cams, but it need not be true for larva and buildings. 7) I changed the abilities of the SH in the data doc since we didn't do it when we reverted burrow. I highlighted the whole thing in yellow so you can double check. Is that ok? | ||

EDIT: also, is it safe to just clone the git repo and use that in the game, or am I gonna be surprised a lot? EDIT2: I might be missing something, but since third ability is now on H, why is viper's consume and ovie's poop creep on M? Wouldn't it make sense for them to be on H too? Although I guess M is easier to hit than H. | ||

CANT SELECT CRTL + SHIT + 0 , Is Really Irritiating I was having the same issue as you, but then I did some googling and was able to resolve it. Hopefully it works for you as well. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/967893 Basically windows has that keybind reserved for some language/keyboard command which most people do not use, and causes a conflict when that same command is used in another application. Hope it helps. Cheers! | ||

EDIT: nevermind, it seems the keybinds won't overlap with M/O burrow/unburrow. Thanks for the clarification! | ||

I think moving chat to Tab for right handed layouts is a great idea. Enter is a potentially useful hotkey, and l often accidentally press it when using the ' control group. Tab isn't useful in right handed layouts, but it's easy to press, and when typing it's necessary to move your hand to the left side of the keyboard regardless. | ||
