As far as my overall impressions of it go it's quite good I think, definitely better than the random layout for zerg. I especially like that I don't need my thumb to make zerglings anymore. The main things that are awkward in my opinion are the hotkey for baneling nest (7) and the , and . control groups (the former moreso than the latter). | ||

Took me a while to find out you meant keyboard instead of kb. It's not like everything in English is an abbreviation  Anyways, you keyboard hand is supposed to be on the end of the keyboard closer to your hand. The thumb goes over control and shift, while your other fingers are on either werg or jiop, depending on whether you are a lefty or a righty, respectively. It is made this way so that the thumb, the strongest finger, is almost always on of the most used key, or shift. One more thing, tilt your keyboard about 12 degrees on the side of the keyboard opposite to where your hand is resting, or else you'll strain your hand a little. This layout is unorthodox to be sure, but it works. | ||

Haha, it's not finished yet. It'll be out in a day or two, depending on if Jak does any SC2 work on Sundays. 0.2 random just came out last Wednesday(?), and Jak's plan is to branch off from random into the other races. Just some tweaks here and there to optimize it for each race. Nothing too big. It still might mess you up a lot if you're used to random, though. Seriously though, there has never been a Terran-specific layout yet. | ||

The image just shows how you''re supposed to use the random layout as a terran player. (if you look at the top of the image you can see that it says "Random-Righty-No Mouse") The random layout is a compromise, so that every race is as optimised as possible without sacrificing efficiency when playing the other races, so basicaly there's an equal "split" of efficiency; the race specific layouts are/will be optimised for the one race you're playing and after that is done, the other races' hotkeys will be build similar to that race, that way you're using the same hotkeys for similar things, all to make offracing more comfortable. | ||

Guess I wasn't clear on what I meant. I use the mouse with right hand and keyboard with left. Therefore my left hand plays on the right side of the keyboard. However, my build structures button when I installed TheCore RRM was on the key 3 which is quite a stretch from the JIOP resting position. | ||

Because regional keyboards differing from the US sometimes have some issues. Maybe you or someone else could make a Chinese version of the layout? | ||

That key for me at the moment is gather resources. Where is gather resources for you? Thanks for replies. | ||

Build is left of enter, gather resources is the key at the farthest top left of the keyboard, or `. @Jak Which camera keys are meant for what on ZRM? I still can't figure it out, even while looking at the data doc. | ||

1) 7 is a terrible bind in my opinion, I have to fully stretch my ringfinger to reach it and is pretty much the hardest key in the layout to press for me, would prefer to have the functions on 7 moved elsewhere. 2) , is kind of a weird camera hotkey. I moved it to ALT+[ and CTRL+SHIFT+[ instead. That way it's a natural extension of the base cameras. Keep up the good work and I look forward to seeing how the layout develops further! | ||

that is not the '(apostrophe) key but the `(grave) key. You need it not! Also, "," is not a control group, it is used for abilities. To alleviate awkwardness make sure you are tilting you keyboard and pressing "," with your ring finger and "." with your middle finger. Hope that helps! @ArcticRaven I would suggest using this picture of the keyboard I used to make the layout http://www.gameseek.co.uk/images/products/razer_marauder.jpg Along with the Data Document to make the azerty layouts :D thanks | ||

I have double checked and gather resource is definitely set to the apostrophe/single quotation key, which is right next to the enter key on my keyboard (I use a 6gv2). I confirmed it in the hotkey menu and by pressing the key in game (with a drone selected). Since this key is right in the middle of all the keys used by the core surely it could be put to something more useful? | ||
