Scarlett already told me some time ago about the trick, included two of the posters in here in the shoutouts as I've seen the thread before I recorded it. Really interesting read up, nice to see how indepth you guys researched this trick! thanks! i just realised it myself this morning(~20 hours ago). btw: it's heart-ers, but heaters are good for the shower too  added your video link to the OP. | ||

And I wonder if it would be quicker than traditional method of clicking on hatcheries? just experimented with this. great idea. but unfortunately it doesn't work well. base camera trick is faster. | ||

You can do the same with Infested Terrans too - bind to same key as creep spread hotkey obviously. Protoss players can also use this for Zealot warpins. | ||

What you're seeing is me holding down C (my creep spread button) and waving my mouse across the screen. I am a moron but can someone please kindly explain how i can shift queue those creep tumours with this trick? I understand how spread the creep tumours with the trick, but not how to place the creep tumours with queens..I had done it a few times testing it out, but i don`t know wtf im pressing haha. FYI: I binded it to C. | ||

This is an idea that was considered in TheCore but was ultimately scrapped because it is so fast that it looks like some form of cheating. I know that this is bound in game; still I'm wondering what you think the chances are of: 1) blizzard/ a tournament mistaking it for cheating (ex: binding scroll wheel through third party programs) 2) blizzard removing the function for keyboard keys (still allowing it for the mouse) 3) a tournament banning it outright. By the way, this idea was to my knowledge first proposed in FleetKeys. Thanks! | ||

Spells and abilities need to be broken into two categories: those where an ability can be wasted, and those where it can't. I wouldn't suggest using this with such abilities as chronoboost, force fields, etc, where you can duplicate the cast without benefit, whereas creep spread can't be placed on top of each other, so it works for that. | ||

![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/8euE1.png) Using Triple-hotkey trick, you can bind more abilities to that command http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=412236 | ||

Oh god thank you for this lol, this actually saves so many rapid clicks it may help stave off carpel tunnel XD Woah you can launch IT's so fast I this makes them a lot more viable for triggering mines as well, because of the way mine targeting works you want all targets to enter range at the same time if possible and this is damn close. | ||

You are right in that Forcefields dont require clicking with this, as you'll only need to aim your cursor and doubletap your forcefield key. The ability does stack, so you can waste them easily if spammed. | ||

But using this you can just tap your hotkey screen saves ( I use f2 f3 f4 f5 ) while holding your injection hotkey and it insta injects every hatchery ... talking sub .2 sec injections on 4 hatcheries ... pretty sick.... You can bound more than 2 hotkeys to the targetting commend itself. Read some posts above | ||

It cuts out your need to Left Click, and works best with the Backspace method. You only have to spam your rapidfire key and Base Camera. It's preeeettty good... | ||

It does not works with injection, because after each injection it breaks "rapidfire" key so you need to click it again to continue rapid-clicking. So it's better to stay with your current injection method and use this trick only for tumors | ||
