You can add your hotkey schemes without editing original MPQ files. SC2Tools modifying your MPQ files, so it's illegal. But adding files isn't illegal, because you don't changing game files. It's undocummented thing in SC2, that the game will read from folders "Replays", "Saves", etc, AND from folder with "Hotkeys" name (if you will create it)
You can edit only hotkeys, that are in schemes. You can't edit unit/building specific hotkeys
1) Create file with any_name.sc2hotkeys with same syntax, like official hotkey schemes
2) Download this file with original hotkey schemes
3) Open your file any_name.sc2hotkeys and add this code
[Settings]
[Commands]
TownCamera=Equals
ReplaySpeedInc=Backspace
Instead TownCamera and ReplaySpeedInc you can put your hotkeys from original hotkey file. Open any original file and find any hotkey. Example:
Button/Hotkey/BunkerAttack=A
Put blue text BunkerAttack=A to your created file any_name.sc2hotkeys instead TownCamera and ReplaysSpeedInc
And you must REMOVE CONFLICTING HOTKEYS (one hotkey with 2 buttons)
4) Put any_name.sc2hotkeys file to My documents/StarCraft II/Hotkeys/
5) You can select your scheme in hotkey menu ingame options

This topic for peoples, who can't use Grid scheme (really good hotkey scheme), Standart or Classic.
P.S. If you're using Grid scheme, you must put all Grid hotkeys (QWERT, ASDFT, ZXCVB) to your new hotkey scheme too
CommandButton00=Q
CommandButton01=W
CommandButton02=E
CommandButton03=R
CommandButton04=T
CommandButton05=A
CommandButton06=S
CommandButton07=D
CommandButton08=F
CommandButton09=G
CommandButton10=Z
CommandButton11=X
CommandButton12=C
CommandButton13=V
CommandButton14=B
Or game will use standart (not Grid) hotkeys
You can change only interface hotkeys. I don't know, how to change unit specific hotkeys.

Yes, no editing blizz files. But you're need an original hotkey file for change something.
It's worked on beta, didn't tested on SC2 release version

Nice, that's cool.
Am using Sc2Tools right now, would be nice if the tool creates such a file instead of editing the mpq... gonna suggest that immediately ;o
|
Wait so you havent tested this on release yet?

As you can see on screenshot, it adds another hotkey scheme. You're need only original file with hotkey syntax for editing.

Did u have original file with all hotkeys?

There's so many stuff I don't understand.
1st there isn't a directory called hotkeys in my SC folder, I have to create it?
2nd what do I have to type in the txt in order to change the hotkeys I want?
O_o
** Edit ok I managed to create the file properly (I had to activate extensions in order to name it correctly).
But I still don't understand how I change the hotkeys :x

1) Yes, you must create it
2) Read topic again please, I don't have original file with syntax of all ingame hotkeys, that you can edit. If you will find this original file, you can put it to this "Hotkeys" folder, rename and edit. And there will be no game file editing, because we're only adding files, not editing

Oh... oh. Used that already but thought it's rather a backup in case I mess the current hotkeys up. It saves with the right ending? Well gonna try it out then, thanks.

Oh god makes me want to switch back to terran so I can abuse F2/F3/F4 again, since as zerg bases/queens are already 6, 7, 8, 9, 0 for me..
