So it wasn't what i thought it was you just have the 2nd key for it as escape. Well then why would you need this because i'm pretty sure i've never used this key before and it was set to ] lol.

TO ANYONE LEARNING THECORE (even the people who think they already know it).
this is going to help you immensely.

I'm very confident that the learning time of TheCore with this method is 1 week. Anyone just getting started give it a test for me

I'll definitely use that whenever I have the time and I'll learn TheCore with it! I don't know how far in the future that'll be though...

Thanks to the creators of the Core - I've been using it for about a month now, and while it was a struggle to get used to it, I'm very happy with it now.

I'm diamond zerg btw - using the JIOP layout, modified quite a bit. I have removed the camera shortcut keys as I never used them anyway, which frees up shift to create groups instead of control-shift. I do still use control-shift J for my initial hatchery, and control-shift P for my initial queens. I've put inject on shift-O, and base camera on shift-K. So to do injects I press shift P, shift O, then shift-K/click repeating - works pretty well. I've also moved around some buildings/unit producing hotkeys to make them a bit easier to remember.

I feel I can play much quicker now, and most importantly, I get a lot less finger pain because my fingers are no stretched out constantly. This is a big thing for me.

I only started out using the core because I spilled a drink on my left control key on my new mechanical keyboard, and didn't want to buy a new one - but worth it now!

also, what do you think about having SPACE as Cancel ?
- Space is easy to press, so it's good for canceling expand to save that precious mineral
- While it's easy to press, it's hard to "press it by mistake" (almost impossible to press by mistake)
I press space button with this part of my hand. Also it's somehow remind me of ESC as cancel button (because it's separated and unique compare to other button, which make it work better as a Cancel button)

I changed space to cancel, I think it's great. Mainly just because of the awesome feeling of bashing the big space button lets out anger at doing the wrong thing haha.

I just read back the previous couple of pages, I also make queens instead of lings by mistake, and have researched ovie speed as well accidentally a few times.

I've only found one hotkey map for Wings in EU, do you know the name maybe?
Thanks for your ideas, gonna learn the core in no time

Honestly it doesn't really matter since SC2 isn't region-locked anymore. From what I've heard EU -> AM lag isn't that bad.

Slashie's post was a bit vague, but I interpreted it as an, "I told you so" rather than a "I can't do this because EU". In any case, this map isn't going to be affected by lag very much, there's hardly anything on the map, and you only need to press hotkeys.

the problem with this is that you dont learn how to use the control groups, add, remove, create new group etc... thats why i think an offline programm that just tells you "add to cc group", "get +1/+1 bio", "build 3 workers" would be more helpful

Lol yes - it was the second expensive keyboard in a row I'd just spilled a drink on so I really didn't want to buy a new one!

Hey
Yeah, this hotkey trainer map is pretty sweet, but it's not perfect. It's like half the hotkeys I need are missing because every building is already selected and you can't learn the "make control group X" etc,... also no cameras.
About the Zerg hotkey layout [ZRM], it's actually quite irritating to have the research stuff (ovi speed, ovi drops, queen) on the same keys as units. Whenever I press hatch and select a larva, now I have to actually check if a larva is selected, and that is somewhat annoying.
Gonna try to get ovi drops on a completely different key at least... researching it accidentally is the worst thing... maybe putting it on Z or T is ok, still somewhat reachable too.

Yup, more like it has been mentioned and be sure to login to the american server else you won't find the map .
Lag is indeed no issue.

For control groups you really need to go play Dargleins stuff.

@Slashie
Why isn't Darglein's Multitask Trainer available for all 3 races?! Know of anything similar for Zerg or Protoss (not the "do a build and run a worker in a ciricle bullshit)

EDIT: No go on a spotlight for TL. We're not there yet.

I downloaded the latest TRS version. The control groups made no sense to me so I reassigned them. Only the camera locations 5 and 6 are now unbound. I'll see where I can put them. Also, is there a reason why the supply depots have two separate keys for lowering and raising them?

Everything is done for a reason. Supply depots have two separate keys for lowering and raising to prevent mistakes. What specifically about the control groups are you having trouble with?

Well, I used a different version of the core before that and the control group hotkeys seemed to be better, at least for me. I rebound them to the 3 keys in each row from right to left (I've got a German layout). Meaning control group 1 is on ´, 2 on ß, 3 on 0 and so forth.
