Very nice!
No more replacing mpq when patching.
And its so easy to port to another installation of sc2 without messing around with that sc2 installation.
+ a its only a single file to edit.
great

Did you're editing original files? No.
Did you're cheating? No
Are there any hacking programms? No

This is extraordinarily convenient. I suppose it's the foundation for Blizzard's eventual implementation of completely customizable hotkeys. Until Blizz polishes that and releases it, this will have to do

I have yet to hear about anyone being banned for using custom hotkeys, via editing MPQ or otherwise, and it would be frankly retarded for that to happen.

Still confused. So if I put "ControlGroupAssign1=`+1" into the My Hotkeys file, does that mean I've switched assigning Control Groups from "Control+1" to "Tilde+1"?
You should not have to pay to watch the GSL, Proleague, or OSL at a reasonable time. That is not "fine" and it's BS to say otherwise. My sig since 2011. http://www.youtube.com/user/dabom88

I'm happy with nearly every hotkey, but there are just those few inconvenient ones.

I changed Immortals to and the Cybernetics to Q, and removed every Surrender/Quit hotkey.

UI/Hotkey/ControlGroupAppend7=Shift+w
(im a protoss player and im used to warpgates :D)

Sorry I couldn't manage to do this. How do I assemble a hotkey file with grid and "select all Warpgates" on Z?

I tried opening the text file in sc2tools and simply fill in all grid hotkeys, but there was no option for "select all Warpgates".

Read original hotkeys in downloaded files

UI/Hotkey/ControlGroupAssign7=Control+w
UI/Hotkey/ControlGroupAppend7=Shift+w

Delete red text and read original file (that you're downloaded) with hotkey syntax

There are no MPQ editing

i actually dont mind using the standard keys. it helps me improve my hand speed and accuracy across the keyboard and not just the wasd area. anyway it certainly doesnt sound illegal so people shouldnt have trouble over this method.

I've switched my TownHall key and my CameraSave keys without issues, but I'm having issues changing Build Queen and Spawn Larva (morphalisk).

Do the non-UI hotkeys need a different format?

Queen syntax is very easy:
Queen=Q


For custom hotkeys for all units you're need to open GameHotkeys_button.txt (or GameHotkeys_button2.txt, no different, only some changed hotkeys)

Do the non-UI hotkeys need a different format?

What you mean?

Right now I have


[Settings]
[Commands]
Queen=Z
TownCamera=Q


and the TownCamera one is working, while the Queen is not. This is in LiquidHotkeys.sc2hotkeys.

Are you saying that I need to create a file called GameHotkeys_button.txt and put Queen=Z in there, or that there's a GameHotkeys_button.txt file somewhere that I need to find?

What I mean is that it seems like changing things such as TownCamera, CameraSave, Quit Game hotkeys (all UI things) works fine with this method, but changing things like Build Zergling, Queen, inject larva, burrow, etc. don't, or at least seem to need something differently formatted.

You're need to create only anyname.sc2hotkeys file.

txt files, that you're downloaded, are help and FAQ for you (you can copy from them hotkeys with their names and put to your scheme and edit)
