I kept quickly trying to hit V - U for my ultralisk cavern in a game. And when I finally looked at my base for more than a second to see why my ultralisk cavern was never building, I found I had 3 infestation pits. So I'm happy they're adding this now.

Immortals and Infestation pit definitely need to not be "i" though too.

more good news! the hotkeys i'd change off the top of my head are hydra den, infestor pit, terran/protoss ground upgrades (w instead of e for weapons), and zerg harvester rally point.

i'm seriously considering setting probes back to p too, i think my control group usage was much cleaner when i used the full keyboard. 0p9p0p9p0p i miss you so much

I can't say I'm very pleased with these news. Not looking forward to learning yet another new hotkey setup.

Ahh, it's about time blizzard! My 66v 77v 88v 99v felt a bit off when I reached 88v, I'd love to move that key. Not to mention I won't ever go back to my base and find two infestation pits instead of one infestation pit and one ultra den.. Lost me so many games :|

During the beta I changed my hotkeys on a weekly basis. If you design the setup yourself it really shouldn't be too hard to get used to.

"feature patch"
That means... that we might get 3 "balance patches" before it? With 1 month between each? Yay.
If you have a good reason to disagree with the above, please tell me. Thank you.

I wonder if that will make it possible to assign attack-move to my third mouse button.

Yeah, this in the next patch would be good. However I wouldn't bet on it, they are working on quite a few things for the next patch (Is it just my imagination or did they say somewhere that chat channels would be in the next patch?). However 1.2 would be amazing, as I really dislike some of the hotkeys lol.

Exactly, this would be one of the first things I did with custom hotkeys. I'd do it now by making my side button =a, but I get the feeling that it might fall into the realm of macros, which are shady territory.

Hopefully this includes the f-keys. Screen location ftw. I mean seriously who wants "Selecet Hero X" on your f2 key instead of saving screen locations? If I want a hero in the campaign I hotkey him anyways. Sometimes I really have no idea what thoose guys are thinking.

This is already possible. Didn't you read the thread? Just make a Hotkeys folder in your SC2 folder (where the replays etc are) and put a whatever.sc2hotkeys. There you just add the hotkeys you like and you get those as additional option when choosen your hotkeys. Just look for thwe thread for better description.

Meh. they remembered it too late.

I just used keytweak to move all the keys around so i could play with just my left hand.

been a nightmare getting used to it, but i also replaced the actual keys so adjusting would be easier.

I no longer know what a qwderty keyboard is

Read properly. A feature patch is a patch that adds features. The next patch will most likely be just another balance patch.

Ok, so it's feature and not future but it still remains the same patch. Two digit patches (1.1; 1.2; 1,3 and so on) contain both balance changes and new features. While tree digit patches (1.0.1; 1.1.1) are just bug fixes. And they also said that chat channels are coming in 1.2, so 1.2 definitely contains balance changes and new features.
