Suggestion and question:

For "TheCore Pro," maybe something like "TheCore Deluxe" or something along those lines, since "Pro" might be intimidating to new users/new players. Or if you don't want to make it sound super cheesy, you could use some sort of letter/letter combination like various car makers do to denote a higher-end version of a production car. Mustang GT, Camaro SS, R/T Charger, you get the point. Just my two cents.

Aaaand question: what are the wrist support/glove thingies you wear in the intro video called? My google-fu is sadly failing me right now.

TheCore with text file edited simple "TheCore"
TheCore with no text file edited i.e. "TheCore:EC" (easy customize) or somthing like that

This is intentional. When do you need to use select builder? If you box over the building then it automatically selects the worker. The issue with select worker is that it has to not overlap with any of the abilities for any terran structure, which limits the options greatly.

Oh god, as if TheCore didn't remind me of Cave Story enough.

EDIT: Not trying to advertise Cave Story as a product, it's just the only link I could find which described it sufficiently and had the "+."

When your SCV is harassed in early game often there is a need to pull him and replace with other. Also when other units are near constructed buildin boxing will select them all. Binding to = seems not to overlap with other buildings commands.

So I have been trying to practice with this setup and it is very difficult due just to that side of the keyboard to be foreign to me so I have to think before each action, however I looked into the grid setup under the other hotkey's and tried it and it seemed much easier to do. So after doing that a question came up, why use thecore over grid? Thanks and if the answer is obvious please go easy on me. Only been playing for a few days.

Grid is closer to standard, so it's quicker to learn if you're already trained on standard. Grid is nowhere near as efficient or ergonomic as the Core, though.

The Core will take a little longer to adjust to, but the extra effort is worth it!
You'll worry less about what people think about you when you realize how seldom they do.

Gotcha. I will try and stick with it. It is tough. Luckily after this week I have all weekend to really dedicate to trying to learn it.

I've made an image for TRM here
I - index finger
II - middle
....
0 - thumb

little boxes - home position
marine - control groups
camera - guess what

PS. practicing a few hours and can be maxed at ~17min (with old binding max was @~14:40). I had my own (almost) ergonomic hotkeys but core reduces working area much more! Great work!

To be honest, it looks a bit convoluted with the finger lines, and the home keys aren't marked well enough. The latter is the most prominent issue. Both can be solved with a little color. For example, index as red, middle as yellow, ring as green, and pinky as teal. Perhaps the home keys can be a darker or brighter version of its finger's color. That and "ABB" should be "Abilities;" it isn't completely obvious that it means abilities at a glance.

Other than that, looks pretty good to me.

- on my keyboard the alt key is further to the left
- alt has the bind 'center camera on current selection'
- enter 'open chat'

I apologize if this has already been answered (I am at work and have already read the first 10 pages)but I am having difficulty shift building with Toss. I am using the small righty no mouse layout. I build my first building then hold shift and press "enter" to select the next building but then I get the dialog box. I see people who have said that they can chain build so obviously I am doing something wrong. Thanks in advance.

That looks really good! Are you going to do this for the other layouts as well?
