This is a great post. I was so focused with getting used at standard at first when I first switched from the c&c RTS's, that I completely forgot to rebinding my keys...
Even now I haven't changed them and I'm top M...
When I get home i'm immediately going to change them

Great read!

Yes!! Really glad to have found this guide again. Great work, and I have so much respect for Remark <3

Definitely going to try this, I even have a DA so I'm excited to the base cam and cam location :D

I really enjoy'd this read, and am in the proccess of trying some of this stuff out. I've been wondering for a while about almost all the stuff haveing to do with the camera's. Immortals as "I" kills me... /facepalm.

Glad I found this for sure!

Good guide! Add anything more you deem worthy!~~

Thanks for the feedback! I might expand this into a general Hotkeys guide for every race once HotS comes out if I have time.
I <3 StarCraft.

I saw Parting today vs Stephano and I noticed he hits spacebar a lot. Is this for forcefields? It seems neat...

and onwards..

Nice guide. I think I am going to start using my Q key for a control group.

Oh by the way, for some reason the hotkey file didn't seem to work. No worries though, I just manually remapped the keys. Thanks again. And yeah, q as a control group is awesome, you could map it to casters and stuff. I have nexus as 5, so that leaves only 4 control groups between.

I use 5 for nexii, 6 robo, 7stargates etcetc - 0 is rebound to W for warpgates and i occasionally use 8 - but i was thinking of rebinding 9 to something to use for Mothership Core/Mothership (because 1234 is not enough to manage army - for example even in an immortal all in i fill all four of those without a core), what do you guys think is best for that? I might even consider using one of the side buttons on deathadder but i never used any mouse buttons before for accuracy/comfort reasons

I usually use Q for patrol and its not all too comfortable to hit it extremely regularly

I can't figure out how to change patrol to 'n' without completely screwing up every other unit (i think it was like, 52 affected units). Is that normal? Do I have to change it for each and every unit?


Also, I use 'q' for base camera.. makes chrono-ing all my nexuses a lot easier.

I have some problems hitting the keys from 6-9. How do you guys handle this? Rebind them to letters, or mouse keys?

I can reach 6 confrotably and have rebound 7 to y and 8 to `. I don't feel like i need any more control groups.
ModeratorProtoss all-ins are like a wok. You can throw whatever you want in there and it will turn out alright.

If you want to use them, you just have to start using them and make a conscious effort to use them, over time you'll get used to them and being comfortable pressing them
