So I'm trying out a new thing with the F keys.

What I did was mapped control group 7-0 to F1-F4. Then I made F5-F8 add to the corresponding group. So if I hit F5, it will add to the F1 group, F6 adds to F2.. etc. I'm not sure if I'll get the hang of it and it will be productive or not, but it is a heck of a lot easier to hit those F keys for me than trying to reach 7 and beyond.

If this doesn't work I might also try just moving 7-0 to F1-F4 but keeping the shift/control group addition functions, but going to try this. So far it has worked ok, very easy to add to groups with just hitting one button instead of Shift + #. Still figuring out if I want to put hatches or queens on the F keys, or units. I have small hands and a big keyboard so...

Hey guys you know when you have a group of units selected for i.e Marines & maurders.

And you want to just select marines so you cntrol + click a marine within your selected group box? (im not talking about the actual marine but within the selected units box)

Is there anyway to change cntrl?

The reason being is im a baddie 2 unit control group player and I use cntrl click a lot to select individual groups..but I find CNTRL is in an akward positions on my keyboard..anyone know a way to change this?

Well, you could change modifiers in the registry for windows, but that'd make button X be ctrl for all applications. It's also a bit messy and requires you to do it yourself which probably is a bad idea if you're not used to tinkering with reg files.

As for changing the modifier ingame I don't think thats possible.

SharpKeys lets you do this registry hacking through a program if you end up going down that route.

(And yeah. Right now it isn't possible to change the keys for UI-centric actions like selecting all units and such).

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.



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.


I use shift generally to add to control groups, much easier. Only use control to overwrite which I don't need to do very often (if at all).

Anyone else having insane problems getting used to new hotkeys? I've been doing 1a2a3a for so long trying anything else has been a complete nightmare... Truth is I barely ever even use 2a and 3a because I can't 1a2a3a very fast at all...I tried using "space" which worked out better than "t" but my thumb just isn't very good at anything. I'll probably try every possible button on the keyboard for attack when I get home...
Apologize.

I like the idea of using space for attack move actually. I also mess up 1a2a3a all the time. I tried moving attack move to a side button on my mouse but that felt even more complicated.

all I really did was move my universal base key (backspace) to my mouse button and hold position to q and patrol to z....

Im a huge nub.. I know.. But I always would miss H and P and I'd get annoyed whenever I'd just not hold position banelings or lings and they'd all run in to their inevitable death.
Gravity is just a feeble plot.

The only reason I wanted to switch control is because I have a macbook and the position of cntrl is retardedly awkward ... because of their special FN key and apple key

There's been an option to swap the functionality of the Apple and CTRL key in the Gameplay options, even before this patch. Highly recommended.

I'm doing the same with the F1-F4 keys, but i have an alternate Ctrl bind to my center mouse button. Its really easy to hit (center mou button + F1) than (Ctrl + F1). Maybe you could try the same

I really really rly wanted to bind "assign control group" to F4 + 1(2,3,4,5) etc. It's SO incredibly much better placed for my fingers than the ctrl key. Though... Appearantly it isn't possible since you cant bind F keys and numbers... Fantastic :S Anyone got a way to do it btw?

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

i thought infestors were already F by default
remember that anyone who has accomplished less than you is a noob, and anyone who has accomplished more has no life.
