I'd like to know how you solve the problem that when you have three hatcheries and just 2 queens, one of your queens will start walking to your third if you mechanically go through all hatcheries and inject.

Is there an advantage to use the shift key over holding pressed the inject larvae key?
I do
1. select queens control group
2. press and hold inject larvae key
3. click middle mouse (rebound from backspace) and left mouse key to inject
4. repeat 3 for each base

This is crazy. So crazy I have to start doing it.

Before I found this thread I had already set my mouse's back button as a secondary to backspace. and did 5-mouse back-V-left click per hatch. I thought it was the fastest way to inject.

After I found this I don't even have to move my left had to the right side of the keyboard. So my sequence of clicks and presses go like:

- 5 (to select all queens, I've always had them on 5)
- V
- mouse back (to center on the nearest hatch)
- hold left shift
- left click then mouse back depending on how many hatcheries I have

Far less clicks and presses than I usually did, meaning I get to inject my hatcheries faster and more time to do other important stuff.

It's a bit of work to unlearn my previous way to inject, but once I've got this down to a T, I hope to be the next zoyg macro beast. Lulz.

Okay, do this exact same thing, but change the backspace button to the tab (or if u like, caps). Then you can press V and hold SHIFT and still cycle without over-extending your reach.

Binding the town camera to ` instead of backspace means you can use left shift and an easier to reach key for this. Having each queen on a seperate hotkey is slower but provides less potential for screwups IMO.

Edit: this thread is really old....

I have a G101 (Works on G15, G18 etc too) and have bound backspace to the G key directly to the left of the left shift. I use my index for shift and middle for G11 (backspace).

I only play Zerg if I random, so for me using a layout which is not accepted by tournaments is not an issue.

Just a note: Blizzard has no problem with software based keybindings of any kind as long as they are single press. Making G11 backspace or middle-click backspace is fine by them. It is only macros/chains of keys that they are against. You still couldn't use it in a tournament ofc, but it is not against the EULA etc.

After learning about this I was so impressed that I found ways to implement it as Protoss, after rebounding to spacebar I now use it to cronoboost and transfer workers. 8D

Are you hitting backspace or spacebar?

Same here. Do you use grid aswell? I find having everything on one side is so much better

I prefer the minimap method. This way I can keep an eye on my army out in the field and minimize the time I'm looking in my base.

if you map backspace to space and put all queens into one hotkey group, you can do superfast inject like 5 hatcheries in one second

I map backspace to caps lock. Very comfortable, because it's just above shift, which must be held.

That shouldn't happen on Blizzard / ladder maps. It can happen on very small maps (eg: 32x32), or where the starting location is extraordinarily close to the borders.
