Wouldnt it be better to put the rapid fire hotkey for Protoss on the same button as Phoenix lift and Feedback so that u only need to hold down one key to spam the spells.
I like Zerglings... and Banelings... and also Roaches... well, i like ZERG

Just wondering if anyone else using a medium layout has tried using "g" as an alternative chat button. With a little practice you can type glhf enter or gg enter with your left hand quite easily.

nice one, blaze

so hitting g opens chat and makes a g at the same time?

Yep, I find it pretty useful.

A question though, having enter as select all army hotkey has been making me play kind of sloppy as I have not been able to force myself to stop using it when it is not necessary. If I wanted to put it at a harder to reach location and put something else as enter what would you recommend? I use TRM.

I think I found a typo on the ZRM gdoc (or I'm not understanding something). Cells H51 and H52 say "O" for the camera, but "O" isn't a camera in that layout. I think they're supposed to be "I".

Hi JaKaTaK! I have a question that have kept me from pllaying theCore ever since I discovered it around 6 months or so.

My keyboard is a steelseries g6v2, and I can't figure out which file to download for the life of me :/ I think I will have to change some bindings in every layout due to the weird nature of the keyboard, but which layout do you propose?

Hi JaKaTaK! Thanks for the effort you have put into this
I was just curious if you have a good idea for a layout for general MOBA's, even though this might be a little off-topic I find it kind of distracting for my muscle memory to adapt from game to game with different settings (here specifically I am talking about Dota which have many of the same commands and ways to bind units as in Starcraft).

Hi

@redlegion
dl the layout that matches your race and hand preference. Shouldn't make a difference. US or UK Qwerty depending on if you have the standard US layout or the standard UK layout. If you upload a picture it will help me help you

@poetastrophe
I use TheCore homekeys for all games.

JIOPKL for your main 6 spells. (for right handed)
I use the numbers for items.
Haven't played a MOBA in a long time, but I was messing around with 234 as hero/not-hero/all in DOTA2 - their CGs aren't fully customizable

I just keep everything as close to the homekeys as possible for everything else. shop is [ for example.

I've been using a version of TheCore for dota 2 for about six months now--I'm sure it isn't as optimized as TheCore is for SC2 (analyzing pro games to see what buttons are pressed the most, etc.), but it has served me pretty well!

Here's my dota set-up:

+ Show Spoiler +


I have big hands, so I use H-U-I-O as my homerow.

H: attack
U: ability 1
I: ability 2
O: ability 3
P: ability 4 (ultimate)
G: ability 5 (i.e. extra ability)
N: ability 6 (i.e. extra ability 2)
J: hold position / stop
L: select hero
K: control group 1
[: level up ability (doubles as a cancel when you have an ability targeted)
dash: open store
0 (zero): select courier
7: take items from stash
/ : voice chat
for items, I use alt+U, alt+I, alt+O, alt+P, alt+G, and alt+N (following my ability buttons--easier to remember that way)
] : use glyph



Sidenote: I'd be happy to lend a hand developing a version of the TheCore for dota, if there's any way I could be helpful!
You'll worry less about what people think about you when you realize how seldom they do.

Wow such a quick reply, thank you for caring

I am uploading a picture, and to point out the obvious:

The short shift key on the right side coupled with the reverse "big-ass" enter key change the number of keys on three rows. Feel free to point me in the direction of "Customization" video and saying "don't know, man"

[image loading]

Just because of this I have re-researched your Chameleon but don't think you support it anymore? Or can I adopt to the left-hande versions? The other side is relatiely normal.

Thanks again for caring ^^

Hey guys, any update on Starbow compatibility? Might there perhaps be a useable beta version of 1.1 going around anywhere for instance? I'm really keen to get in on that mod, especially now the ladder's up and running, but if I can't use TheCore then I doubt I'll be able to play it.
I am terrible at this game!

Jak would love to work with you on an official version of TheCore for Dota! Email Jak at thejakatak@gmail so you can talk about it

@redlegion The UK qwerty version of TheCore should work for you. If it doesn't, write us back and we can figure it out.

@Spaceboy Jak's been really busy trying to get TheCore 1.1 up on and running not to mention the TutorialCentral videos. As of now, there are no usable beta versions but we will re-prioritize and get TheCore 1.1 out as soon as possible

Thanks JaKaTak! I downloaded it but could not test it yet.

1 week of theCore + theStaircase to get my toss mechanics up incoming! Will let you know with such a praise worthy of the original post's testimonials

Hey,
I wanted to ask if there is a way to bind my chronoboost to the same key as attack move because the nexus attack prevents this if i do it normally within the game options.
I like Zerglings... and Banelings... and also Roaches... well, i like ZERG
