Those that have patched to 1.5, is your "center camera on current selection" key (default is control+f) acting strangely? Occasionally after I center the camera on a unit, it seems the command doesn't get released and continues to center the camera on any units I click afterwards.

For example, after I hit ctrl+f to center the camera on a hatch, sometimes the camera will continue to follow any other units I click even though I'm not holding down ctrl+f.

I tried this for about 2 hrs last night and found it rather difficult to adjust to. In particular I had trouble with m and k on the Protoss layout. Do I need to specifically practice those or is this a sign Ithis may not be for me? I used to be quite good at flute and violin so I'd like to think I can learn finger movements effectively.

It takes far more than two hours to adjust to The Core. I'd recommend playing it for at least that long every day and see how you feel after a week.

Thanks! I'll continue working on it. So far the hardest part seems to be the pinky fingerings. In particular m seems hard to do any sort if hold position micro with. In people's experience does your pinky eventually learn?

Do you have your keyboard tilted to an appropriate angle as in the video tutorial? Tilting your keyboard so your pinky bends naturally from 'j' to 'm' is very helpful. I've played 2 sessions now with TheCore, each about ~3-4 hours, and I'm starting to adjust to it nicely (I was very frustrated after my first session, but after sleeping on it and playing again it went much better). I was mid-Masters before switching and I fell a bunch (losing about ~10 straight games) but I'm back beating low masters players again, and my pinky has definitely gotten accustomed to pressing 'j', 'm', 'h' all the time.

The qualitiy is not the best maybe you can do it better with your original keyboard image.
Maybe you can mark the standard position JIOP.
It helps me and i hope others too

Very cool stuff guys! Ty Hancho.

Yes, it's going to take more than 2 hours. It will start feeling way more natural one day -- assuming you don't have an abnormally shaped hand.

Will you guys be ready with the core for HOTS? =D

My experience with it has gotten so much better by the way. It took me probably around 30 games against the CPU to get comfortable with it, then 40 regular games on ladder to get on par with the way I were before the switch. I consider myself a slow to moderate learner. However I'm starting to really feel the potential now and with every game I get a little bit better. Sometimes you have to take 4 steps back to eventually take 5 steps forward. Without a doubt this is the right move. So props guys and thank you.

Not to make a big issue out of this, but aren't 0 and 9 supposed to be hit with middle and index, respectively? At least I use those two to spam (active tumor and one hatch for me). I even thought they were meant to be used that way with 4th/5th-mouse-setups.

Yes! Mine is on Right Alt and it only centers after I've held it down for about a second. Very annoying.

I'm thinking about making the cancel and idle worker keys more accessible.

How do you guys feel about
6 for cancel (hit it with the ring finger, should feel similar to the old hitting escape and easier than F8) and
= or Backspace for idle worker?

EDIT: 7 for cancel and ` for idle worker for lefties


6 for cancel? HELL NO, F8 is perfect as it is atm.

Backspace for idle worker? Cool


yes I agree too, F8 is perfect for me

"But this was only the start. LiquidTyler (now back to NonY) broke both our minds out of the box. He said on State of the Game that he moved everything to the left side of the keyboard. Once the box was broken, we ran with it."

I don't understand? Wouldn't the genious thing be to move it to the right?

That is the genius of thecore, but the seed that nony planted was consolidation of keys.
Everything in life is most clearly explained through a Starcraft analogy.

0 and 9 are both supposed to be hit with the middle finger. This is the fastest, most ergonomic choice. However, if you are hitting them in combination, it would make sense to use index and middle alternating, although this would be much better on a finger meant to be pressed with the index. For example, going back and forth between 9 and ; instead of 9 and 0.

He moved uneccessarily out-of-the-way keys (such as I for immo) closer to the base keys (asdf).

That idea led to the brainstorming that became this hotkey layout.

You'll worry less about what people think about you when you realize how seldom they do.

Why SCV is on I? All things, which are "most clicked" are on J but SCVs is on I. I dont understand that.

@Trumman
The right handed mouse players should be JIOP home keys,
The left handed mouse players should be WERG home keys.

@Thunderflesh
yes

@kamyker
because the planetary fortress is an attacking building. try to bind it to J and see what happens

glad to see so many new faces.
