anyone know what the custom key is called for 'backspace'?

I want to remap it to space so i can cycle my queens for inject but I cant seem to find the damn setting!

under global settings go to camera, then the actual bind is called "base camera."

i'm actually mixing grid with standard (using grid keys as secondary keys whenever possible - q for workers, and mainly all upgrades are getting q,w,a,s as applicable)

All I did thus far was move-command to q, and immortal to e.

I'm annoyed I can't bind mouse buttons. Why?

What mouse are you using? I haven’t tried rebinding LMB and RMB but I can bind the other three mouse bindings fine. But I did noticed the first time I tried binding my side bindings it tacked on Shift to the command, so had to rebind them a second time to get the right input.

i use grid normally so i only want to make a few changes. i moved 0 to ` for easy reach, backspace to caps lock for larva injects and the f5-f8 to f1 - f4. it sucks you cant pick specific actions to change when u have grid, i would have changed explode baneling away from morph baneling. may have to set up a complete custom system like grid for that, but since overlord and nydus have load unload in different positions, it cant be truly like grid but thats not that big a deal. also i set esc as an alternate to b to cancel things. i always have trouble finding b in time and hit everything around it. im also thinking of putting 9 on y or something to keep queens on. maybe if im feeling adventurous put 8 on space and use that for hatches since i dont use space anyway. then i would have ` through 7 for all units and overlords. i also cant decide what to put my only mouse side button to. i dont want to over complicate my mouse hand with something too useful. im also thinking of changing morph lair. anyone else had trouble making an unwanted lair while trying to make mutas but not having larva? happened a couple times to me. damn grid.

Unburrow G
Base camera Q
Spawn larva W
Queen E
Ventral Sacs V
Overlord Speed C
Every other upgrade at buildings I made into an A S D grid.
Spawn Nydus Worm A

I originally planned to use tilde for base camera, but found that my hands need to be in awkward positions to actually hit another key. I think q and w are a much better way to go. Would like to find another use for tilde and maybe caps lock button. Maybe just make ~ another control group.

pretty much just converted hotkeys like upgrades to grid, the ones i didnt know.

If this rebind had been around on launch I'd just rebind attack move to A and use grid. But using T for attack move just couldnt feel right for me.... So now I had to learn all 3 races standards etc

All upgrades turned to QWE grid upgrades with the alternative as the original key, this unbinds the warp gates W so this is only for my zerg

Nydus worm C with alternative of N as it originally was
Burrow R from hatcheries.. it is normally B for whatever reason
Infestation pit bound to F with I on the side

I'm probably going to get my screen location save hotkeys back. It's about time. Additionally, I'll probably go with the ` key instead of backspace for the all-important backspace larvae injection trick.

Terran :

Started with standard hot-keys

Moved Build Advanced structure from V to Z
Bunker to X
Sensor Tower to Z

Changed Lift of Land from L to Z

That's all I really changed since those were the hot-keys I was having issues reaching or missing.

I can't believe they haven't had the option to change your hotkeys since the beta. I mean whats the point in not allowing it? Quake 1, a game which came out 13 years ago, allowed you to customize any key of your choice.

Blizzard releases custom hotkeys and people are STILL complaining.

To be honest, I feel kinda similar...why? Now I got used to using the kinda crappy hotkey-system. I know that I lose effectiveness by using it and should completely rework it (which I will). Nevertheless I just hate getting used to new hotkeys, the thought of it even gives ma a slight headache. On the other hand, if I don't change anything, then eventually (in the far future) everybody who changed hotkeys to become more effective will have an advantage over me, if I don't apply certain changes.

Hell, tbh I don't even want to change immortal away from "i" that badly, I've gotten used to selecting it with my thumb....

ya, probe to P is a good idea, esp if you played BW..

i might changed backspace to ~ for the shift+backspace when i play zerg

and maybe infestors to F or something closer than i

Infestor has always been F for me ... or do you mean the infestor den?

Protoss here, used standart changed these thing.

my Robo is always ctrl group 5, so i changed Immortal to Q, 5q5q5q5, super ez to hit
my Stargate is always 6, so i changed Phoenix to T, 6t6t6t66t, super ez to hit again
Graviton Beam, to E,
Forge
Attack upgrade to A
Armor upgrade to R
Shield upgrade to S

Prizma, both modes transport and power to R

Then every upgrade associated with a unit I changed to the hotkey of the unit itself,

colosi range to C
observer speed to B
prizma speed to A
