This Thread is for the discussion of the execution and various implementations of the Rapid Fire hotkey trick, found in custom hotkey layouts such as TheCore and Fleet Keys, originally brought to TL by eneyeseekay.

We will define Rapid Fire as the utilization of the keyboard's repeat rate in conjunction with keyboard bindings to gain an advantage in a game.



Bind an alternate to "Choose Abilily or AI target" that matches another command (such as spawn larva).



The command can be bound using an alternate (creating a less efficient layout)
or by aligning the keys that make use of rapid fire (creating a more efficient layout)

TheCore makes use of the latter and can be seen in TheCore Archive This is an example of the protoss layout. 5 alternates have been set for "Choose Ability or AI target" and the gateway units have been matched to those keys along with other abilities that benefit from rapid fire such as Snipe, Infested Terran, and Graviton Beam.

The current commands that can benefit from Rapid Fire are as follows:


*Spawn Larva




Parasitic Bomb



Warp-In




Recall




Snipe




Auto Turret, Point Defense Drone, and Seeker Missile




Spawn Creep Tumor




Feedback



Infested Terran
Graviton Beam
Corruption
Consume
Yamato Cannon
Contaminate
Abduct
Mule



*Rapid Fire inject is special in that it requires a keyboard that repeats multiple keys when pressed at the same time. The test to see if a keyboard is compatible with these two implementation can be found in the Rapid Fire Inject Video.

Is it still possible to target individual interceptors with parasitic bomb? I've been trying, but haven't been able to do so...

Lol, never noticed it was gone and now that tosses started to turtle and slowly build up T3 air army, I've started to miss it. Well, at least it's not me doing it wrong, thanks .
