I play as zerg..

I've switched all upgrade buttons to be QWE dependant on where they are on the panel (left to right), as well as changed infestation pit to F. That's about it.. But it's really going to help.. No more building infestation pits instead of ultralisk caverns, no more clicking upgrades (I never got the hang of the upgrade hotkeys because they make little sense - M A C for Evo chamber? really? Hidden agenda, LOLOL.

Where can I find hotkey for select all idle workers. I see only select idle worker, which is F1, but where is the one which is F1+ctrl, or there is non?

I'm going to do this too!

Do I need to tick the conflict button on the hotkey menu for this to work?

I remapped everything around ESDF. I like grid, however I did not like how difficult it was to reach the shift and ctrl keys. By moving the grid right one key my little finger can comfortably reach both shift and ctrl.

I worked around the inability to rebind extra mouse buttons by going into my mouse's driver and remapping them there to far-flung letters on the keyboard like iop.

grrr can't seem to have capsLock + key or Tab + key

would have been nice to move up the ctrl and shift key to see how that feels

I changed inject larva from V to E and then changed base camera from backspace to shift-E. I find I'm able to inject larva ridiculously fast this way.

I'm playing with the GRID-System and fixed the german layout-bug (Z and Y where swapped, was very annoying if you want to play toss) and i changed Backspace to ^, with is left to number 1. I think this should be ~ or ´ on english layout-keyboards.

I created a unique setup which is effectively a hybrid of the grid system.

I set E S D F to control the camera and disabled mouse scroll.
ALT + E S D F sets camera location
SHIFT + E S D F goes to camera location

keys 123456 QWY are used for hotkeys

Space is attack
A is stop
G is hold position

for production buildings i use RTCV as a makeshift grid

for units i use RT as the main abilities and CV as cloaking

I also switched the create group key from ctrl to alt for comfort.

I moved backspace (town view) to the spacebar for nice and easy access to all my bases. This will make larva injecting unbelievably easy.

backspace to the "back" mouse button.. can't think of anything else that needs changing right now

edit: actually.. backspace to tab and next/previous subgroup to back and forward mouse buttons... I keep hitting caps lock when I want to hit tab, maybe this'll help.

I moved 9 and 0 hotkeys to my side mouse buttons to use for my main army control group. I also moved 8 to Q, because as a toss, I don't need Q, and it's convenient to have an extra control group button that I can reach.

If you press ctrl+ the select idle worker key you select all idle workers there is no own hotkey for that.

I have no idea, guys, I generally prefer to preserve the original binds, but what the Opening Poster mentioned, swapping Control and Caps Lock, is an old issue. It may really be useful in terms of palm fatigue and time savings, as it takes time to hit some combos with only one hand and dragging the other hand along can be distracting.

On the other hand, doing a CapsLock+1 would probably kill my hand. I already get twitching RSI pains just looking at the keys. In fact, it's not as bad as Shift+1 but still awful.

Speaking of hand ergonomics, tenkeyless (a keyboard without the numerical pad) is working out great. It feels good not to have to reach so far out on the left and it's more comfortable for typing (given that the mouse can't be way off-centre if you're playing RTS).
