Any time you bind units/buildings to a hotkey (0-9), a button pops up right at the bottom of the main game screen area, with the number and a small picture of what's in the group. However their feature of re-binding the hotkeys by simply right clicking the button is really obnoxious, as at least for me, I often accidentally right click the button when I'm actually just trying to right click on the ground to move my units south. Usually I've over-written the hotkey with all my hatcheries in a group and it only happens in the heat of battles so it's a giant pain 
I really would like to see an option in the menu to disable accidental clicks on these buttons, just like they have a similar option for the "Help" buttons at the top of the game screen.
(this isnt new with patch 9, it's been in for a while)
+ Show Spoiler [additional zerg fixes Im hoping for] +Also please change Ventral Sacs hotkey so that not every zerg player who's ever breathed on SC2 will inevitably accidentally research it every time they go to make overlords when there's no larvae available. And even more significantly for zerg, fix the Select Larvae problem detailed here. And banelings/overseers/broodlords shouldn't auto-move to rally points after morphing either. No need to mention the obvious major exploit that's going to be hotfixed today.

UPDATE: 04/03/11
Hey, just wanted to bump this thread to let everyone know that blizzard ninja'd this change into a recent patch! go to options->gameplay->control groups and select unclickable!
THANKS BLIZZARD! I just noticed this yesterday.
______________________________________
Bumping this thread because I've had it with this problem! Every game I have to fix hotkeys I accidentally override, and sometimes I end up falling behind in macro because my building hotkeys get screwed up and I don't notice. It just makes the game more frustrating to play for no reason, and I know a lot of players share my sentiment.
I made a thread on the battle.net forums to try to get blizzard to make this feature toggleable. Please post there regarding your stance on this issue!

i agree, ive had this problem early game when spamming :I but it still is annoying re hotkeying things t.t
|
yea seriously
does anyone ever use this feature?
|
Oh so thats why this shit happens... Yeah remove this retarded gamelosing crap.
|
I agree. Needs to be toggled. So irritating. Even more irritating then the menus imo and those have an option. Closer to the action :[
|
Oops! I clicked on the battlefield. Let me go hunt down all of my queens and rebind them to my hotkey. It's only 30 seconds.

Are you talking about left clicking accidentally on the hotkey when you mean to click a unit instead and then right clicking to move it away? Yeah that's the other pain this causes besides accidentally overriding hotkeys. lol

How did this post not get more attention when Zelniq first made it? It's actually the most retarded 'feature' ever. I had it happen when I had scouting zerglings in the opponents base the other day and they ended up on my hatchery key so whenever I pushed S they stopped. Ended up floating like 700 minerals and losing them all.
Blizzard has to remove this.
|
IlI agree, this feature needs to be fixed only happens to me at the worst times.
|
Yay bump! Yay someone uses search feature!
This has been around for so long....and its been so garbag.e..T___T
|
I like the notifications to the left, but I hate how they are clickable, so I had to disable it. If the unclickable menu option disabled the notifications area from being clickable also, that would be really good.
|
Yeah I admit when I disabled the menu buttons (you can do this in the options) I expected it to also disable clicking of those hotkey buttons. I wish they'd just go away altogether.

I agree completely. Poor Zelniq, I do this far too often.
|
Countless amount of times I've overwritten preexisting binds and it's sooooo annoying stopping to figure out why my hotkeys aren't working -_-
|
Good idea posting on the bnet forums, Blizzard might notice and agree its a small problem that can be easily fixed.
|
yeah it is really annoying. and i always manage to click on my hatchery hotkey, which leads to a few seconds of annoying repair work.

signed afj
definitely needs to be changed, along with the sidebar notifications, which I think they are changing in the next patch.
EDIT: When you respond, make sure you like AFJ's OP too. I'm assuming this keeps popular topics towards the top, if it's not done simply by date.

There is never anything wrong with giving an ui feature to be disabled. I don't have issues with this but I support it.
|
Yeah this pisses me off often
