WTF you cant change bind control groups to 'space + #'? It would have been so awesome.

How can you NOT change:

Metabolic Boost (M) --> (B)
Pneumatized Carapace [or whatever] (P) --> (E or something)
Hatchery (H) --> (A)
Hydra Den (H) --> (D)
Hydra (H) --> (D)

I am not sure if some of those are taken because I'm not at home computer, but some changes from those really annoying ones (M, P, H, etc.) will CERTAINLY occur.

Immortals - R
Planetary Fortress - F
Interceptors - C

Im too used to the rest to change them. Oh and using F1~4 keys for camera saves.

I just wanna thx you for even giving me this Idea to Begin with. + Show Spoiler +

I have set up everything on QWER, and then I use ASD and ZXC if needed. This is an example of how I have set up the hotkeys, not the full description

Make Buildings example:

Q = Basic Building
W = Advanced Buildings
QQ = Make Supply Depot
QW = Make Barrack
QE = Make Refinery
WQ = Make Factory
WW = Make Star Port

Make Units from Barracks
Q=Marine
W=Marauder
E=Reaper
R=Ghost

CommandCenter
Q=Make SCV
W=Call down Mule
E=Scan

Unit Abilities for Ghost
Q=Snipe
W=EMP
E=Cloak
R=Decloak

Basic Commands:
A=Attack move
S=Stop
D=Patrol

As I play Random only this got me to some thinking that with the Hotkey Editor you dont need to move fingers as much as before the Patch, you can "centre" I would call it all essential commands for each Race on a releative small Area. So I first worked the Standard Keybindings over till they Matched Grid. I then added also Spells and other Gimmicks into Keys where my finger are mostly located.

The Editor doesnt Fix the Problem with German keyboard and English Game y-z swapped you still have to edit the Hotkey File for this which is kinda Disappointing.

also I wanna ask and I hope this will be brought up in the next SotG. What are the Tournament Rules on Custom Keybindings? will the Pros use them and how hopefully brought up in SotG.
I give up, I just don't know what to write here.

I changed idle worker from F1 to ~. Reason: ctrl F1 is much harder to hit at the start of the game compared to ctr ~.

Changed the the camera buttons to F1-F4. I didn't play much BroodWar but everyone that has seems to like it this way and I can see the benefits of saving a camera location to a battle area, a proxy pylon and a few bases.

Changed Immortal to E but I see some people changed it to T or R and I may change it to that. i was just unacceptable for the hotkey
Amulet changed to A. K was also unacceptable.

chrono bosst = z
buildings = z
advanced buildings = v
immortal = f

I'm a left-hander though, so it might look a bit strange to most people.

I'll probably use a modified grid layout. Definitely going to stick most things around WASD. I'm going to have to relearn a lot of stuff, but it's better than having an inefficient key layout. ~ is definitely taking over backspace. Who seriously decided backspace to be the center CC/hatch button?

I'm thinking...

Q for warpgates
W for zealots, unit first ability
E for stalkers, probes, unit second ability
R for sentries, unit third ability
A still attack
S stop
D patrol

Something along those lines...

one thing i really like is the ability to have an alternate key, because i want to use a different key for patrol, but i know il have issues early on with me naturally wanting to hit p. SO i can set it do d and p, and even if i accidentally hit p it still works :D

I had to unbind alot of protoss and zerg hotkeys to get this to work but here is my new hotkey setup in a nutshell q-r most common things i use
a-f attack, stop, hold, patrol
z-c addons unit mode transformations (ie vikings and tanks) and c for cancel.

If I ever decide to play protoss or zerg or even switch to random I can make a different hotkey profile for each of the other 2 races using the same format.

Here is my whole hotkey setup in case anyone cares.
Obviously things like move or hold fire on ghosts i moved to key on the right side of the keyboard because they keys that don't think I will ever need.

E for phoenix
R for build interceptors

S for mothership

i wish i could change shift to caps or tab, since im adding units to groups all of the time, shift+1 and shift+2 gets my fingers a bit in a cramp after a while, my pinky is bent too much or something,.. but i found out that you can not replace shift with caps or tab, so that is a bummer

I have no problem with H or A and left those as is. Carapace had to go from p->u though, but that's probably going to change now that I think about it since ultralisk is u.

If you don't use the caps lock key you can remap it to shift (or something else) in Windows.

What do you guys think about this... I set my f1-f4 keys to assigning control groups for 1-4. The reason I did this is because I find it very awkward to hit ctrl + # during the game without stopping to look at my keyboard. Also I don't feel like I need to use the f keys for saving map locations. Honestly, when is it worth the time trying to remember what map locations you saved to your function keys? I can never see it being faster than just mousing over the minimap.
my APM is over 9000

Thats actually brilliant, I've been looking for a way to speed that up for myself, thanks for that! I have a really tough time hitting those combos as well.
