My god yes.

And it's annoying when people complain about something that blizzard "should have put in the original release". Is it that much of a problem?


It's that that it's been such a big problem, it's just that it seems like a relatively simple feature to add that's incredibly useful, and they spent their time on other things. Like facebook integration. Or not developing chat channels. But it's ok! Slowly but surely Blizzard is improving :D

Nice. It was weird of them to put majority of hotkeys to left hand side of keyboard, but then have a few really bad ones like immortal, khaydarin amulet, zerg melee up, building lift off/land.

better late than never. i was amazed at why they didnt put this in the first place since many players would greatly welcome it (just leave the default to standard keys or unit grid)

The first thing I am going to do is switch backspace with capslock. It will make Z macro a lot less cumbersome.

I was happy enough that they added grid hotkeys. As a former Natural Selection player I think grid keys make the most sense.

This is definitely a great thing to add though.

HELL YEAHHHH WOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

also can anyone confirm that modifying mpq's can in fact be caught by Blizzard by their warden or w/e checks? so no sound customization, nor hotkey customization till next patch ?

Why should you be allowed to set your own hotkeys?

I've been using custom hotkeys for the last few weeks (using the file.sc2hotkeys method) but I'm definitely happy because this change will make custom hotkeys allowed in tournaments and stuff

agreed. i've wanted to bind that function to shift tab for so long. i imagine that'll make larva injection much easier.

Damn... bout freakin time. As the OP said I can't believe this wasn't something implemented way before the release... it is a 2010 game after all. Anyway, better late then never.

Which retards need this feature? What's wrong with the hotkeys if you play the english version of the game? Blizzard could move the main building cycle to tab and save locations to f2..., but that's it.

There also needs to be a difference between burrow and unburrow.

A little annoyed that this didn't came out with the game, especially since it has been in development for so long and had WoW as an example to learn from in terms of customizable hotkeys. It's not like people can make macros in SC2 and turn this ability into a game breaking unfair advantage.
