I have the tilde (~) key mapped to the town hall function (instead of backspace) so I'm wondering if there is a bug here. I can switch from base to base just fine with the tilde key all game long if all my hatcheries survive but in any game I lose one hatch, the tilde key appears to have no effect. Has anyone else experienced this? | ||

Either way for me this mouse button bind helps out a great deal and makes swapping between hatches for injects, or even just to quickly visit your main for something, an incredibly effective technique for fast injecting, without having to move your hands away from the important keys. Something unexpected might happen, and when your hand is all the way over the backspace key those few milliseconds might just cost you the game. | ||

Has anyone else experienced this? I also have my town hall function bound to (~) and I find it works a lot better. Also if you don't play random or protoss I recommend changing control group 0 to be used with W (W,ctrl+W,shift+W) You can bind all your queens to (W), and then all you have to do the method outlined in the OP, but your fingers don't have to travel nearly as far. Granted, it won't really matter if you play toss, because you can always just set all your Warpgates to the (W) ctrl group anyway. | ||

Rebind "Base Camera" aka backspace, to: SHIFT+SPACE. Yeah, you can keybind a combination of keys to a function, its amazing! :p Why? Because you are going to be holding shift down anyways to spawn larva. Because space is extremely easy to press, and the combination feels much nicer / more natural. Because you are not swapping keybinds, so pressing space without shift will still have the same functionality as before (jump to last alert). It is only the combination of SHIT+SPACE that functions as backspace/"base camera". So basically, in a real game you would hold down your left shift with your pinky, and with your thumb hit space, click, space, click, space, click done. edit: oops, this was already posted 1 page earlier -.- | ||

I figured everyone would think of that keybind..... I must say, it is really, really comfortable to do. | ||

I find that much more easier... I used this setup as well, for a long time, and I loved it. But since you can now keybind as you please, the method listed in this thread is faster/easier. Your injects: 5, 5, v, inject, 6, 6, v, inject, 7, 7, v, inject, 8, 8, v, inject (16 clicks) This way ("Next Base" camera bound to 'w' in my setup, since w is prectically never used as zerg. All Queens on '5'): 5, v, hold shift, w, inject, w, inject, w, inject, w, inject (11 clicks) In case you have more than 4 active hatches, this scales even further. Also, it's actually nice to have all your Queens on one hotkey for early air defense, transfusing stuff etc, as you can just click 5 and not worry about where the queens are actually positioned. Nice when you're in a tight spot. Try it in five or so custom games vs computer AI and see if you like it. Took me quite some games to unlearn the old way, but it was well worth it though. | ||
