Ok I just finished converting my previously mentioned hotkey scheme for all races to the hotkey format, expand the quote below and just copy paste that into the file.

Features

Gridkeys for everything Except -
Attack is now A
Other unit functions (patrol, etc) are the standard hotkey
Idol Worker is `
Camera keys are CTRL+F1-F8 to bind and F1-F8 to use
Warpgates are R
Build/A-Build is Q/W
Unit Skills are QWE. Some zerg units have a Z key due to being unable to QWER (conflict with warpgate key, so if you play zerg you might want to change that.)

Show nested quote +

Or for the REAL Lazy that fail at txt files, you can just download the file here and place it in your hotkey directory

Edit - Ha, not working =P It should work though, no idea why it is not. If anyone could get it working for me (and anyone else interested) I'd appreciate it. I'll mess around and see whats up.

Still no luck getting any "Build unit" hotkeys to change. Do we need to make it Queen_Liquid=Z?

Conflicts between same hotkeys? Like "A" for 2 functions?

Anyway, use this help. ALL HOTKEY NAMES

I'm still trying to make Grid and UI/WarpIn=Z work, I followed your guide and I don't understand why it doesn't work.

This is what my file looks like:

[Settings]

[Commands]
WarpIn=Z

Meh, I just wasted a lot of time on trying something similar to what Chronicle tried, as well as various other things (e.g. having [Settings]Suffix=_GLS and then trying to override the attack command hotkey).

As far as I can tell so far, this method does not allow arbitrarily changing hotkeys for building, training, researching, attack-move etc., only the ones listed in the hotkeys settings window.

Using

[Settings]
Suffix=_GLS
[Commands]
...

one can choose between the basic layouts (GLS (Grid Left Side), GRS, SC1 (Classic), ...) etc, but not alter those.

One possibility would be that there is one more .ini section in which overriding unit hotkeys is possible. [Commands] only seems to contain edits to hotkey paths starting with "UI/Hotkey/". A different section containing edits for "Button/Hotkey/" hotkeys is plausible imo.
Sadly there is no example of such a section anywhere in the MPQs since the pre-installed layouts just use one of basic layouts (SC1, GLS, etc) without modification.

Yeah, that seems to be the case. Shame really, the functionality is there but we don't know how to use it since for some weird and unexplored reason, Blizzard won't tell us =(

I'm trying to find out how to do this but can't figure it out

When I play zerg, I number all my queens as 6, and to larva inject I press:
6(select queens)
x(inject)
shift

(for each hatch)
backspace (center on base) -> click

where can I change backspace to, say tab?

I wasted a ton of time coming to the same conclusion, and have since given up. I'll keep an eye on the thread to see if anyone fixes it, but for now I guess I'll just stick with .mpq editing.

Nice find!

I would also point out that since this method doesn't modify the .mpq file, that you don't need to deal with patches failing due to checksums not matching.
