I use modified grid which is far better imo than standard hotkeys. You don't need to remember things that much and everything is packed closer so u don't need to move hand across the board. Also I use additional mouse buttons (razer naga) to control groups 6-0.

my groups are
1 for scout
2 for 2nd tech/scout
3 for 1st tech
4 for nexuses
5 for special tactics
6-0 are my army control groups
f1-fn are for camera positions - nexuses

i modified grid so I have a-move on Q and units skills on ZXC, after that warpgates under TAB. I use lots of ALT for asignments also SHIFT and some CRTL. SPACEBAR goes for unit types switch under groups. I find this set up totally freaking awesome. Cheers.

Global:
Camera hotkeys rebound to f2-f8

Terran:
Viking ground mode from D to G (because I put them in the same control group as my ravens and sometimes I mean to PDD when I don't have any ravens and end up landing all of my vikings...)
Air armor from P to A

Protoss:
Immortal from I to R
Cybernetics Core is also bound to U

Zerg:
Inject is also bound to Q (So I go 66Q 77Q 88V 99V 00V)
Infestor Cathedral from I to F

Otherwise, it's completely standard.

Rebound cycle base camera to tilde.
Removed 6 and rebound to TAB (I use this for T3 units).
Rebound first four camera positions to 7,8,9,0 (next four on F5-F8).
Rebound 7,8,9,0 to F1-F4 (inject queens).
Rebound patrol to W.
Rebound select idle worker to space.
Removed left Windows, capslock, hyphen and equals keys.

Artosis, I know you are very busy, and I understand if you don't get a chance to help us out, but we would really appreciate it if you found some time to let us know what you think of TheCore.

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=341878

I am personally spending anywhere from 2-6 hours a day right now (5-11 hours in the first month of development) working on this hotkey layout and believe that it will be the future of Sc2 pro gaming. Although FoxyMayhem (creator of Darkgrid) and I developed this layout, since the beta launched we have had incredibly generous help from numerous community members. This may be the biggest project to create the best custom layout possible to date.

Please give the project a look and let us know what you think; your insight would be invaluable.

Thank you.

I use this setup:

My control groups are:

~ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
TAB ________U
CAPS ________J
SHIFT _________M

Basically remapped control group 8, 9 and 0 to "UJM". Then, I remapped all standard keys right of "UJM" to left of "UJM".
Pretty much I have standard keys except now I don't have to reach to the right side of the keyboard to use them.

There was minimal adjustment required, basically I moved some keys like:
Patrol = Y
Move = Z
Build Immortal = R
etc, still trying make the keys phonetically match the action.
