I'm probably going to change ship weapons to W and ship plating to F.

ty.

F2, F3, F4 acted like hotkeys, but it wasn't exactly a hotkey.

It saved the location of the screen that you were on. For example, if you rallied all your units to location A, you would do shift+F2 to save that location. Wherever you are, if you press F2, you would come back to location A.

I think on SC2 its F5~F8 or something. Was it removed?

I've heard you can separate burrow and unburrow actions. That is top priority, probably to burrow r and unburrow as t. That will give me so much better roach control in zvz.

Base switching is definitely moving somewhere else, maybe capslock or tilde. Queen inject may or may not move depending on what my experiments show.

I've thought about moving my queen hotkey somewhere else, perhaps caps lock, perhaps some letter like q, c, e or w, but there may be issues to work out in that case.

I may add some extra keys for zerglings, so that both z and x work. That would allow me to fat finger it and to make them quickly.

I may also use the space bar for something, if it is remappable. I never use it for its intended purpose because there's always so much stuff hatching that it is unreliable as an action locator.

You could essentially have control groups of screen locations. If you pressed shift + F2, for example, you could hit F2 later, and your screen would return to the same place. You can do the same thing now, but they won't let you do anything below F5 until after the patch.

I thought explode was 'x'. Do you accidentally hit 'x' or did you change it to 'z' for a mysterious reason?

You can already change it. Go into the options and hotkeys then scroll down. Change select hero to something you don't use and screen position I believe it is called to f2-f4.

Early game

1 - scout
2-4 - overlords


Middle game

1 - combat units (zerglings, roaches)
2 - semi-special units (banelings or hydralisk or mutalisks)
3 - overseer or infestor
4 - nydus or overseer

or

1 - zerglings, hydras or/and roaches
2 - banelings or mutalisks
3 - infestors or overseers
4 - nydus

My Zerg macro setups

0 (scroll-wheel turned to left) - hatcheries
9 (scroll-wheel turned to right) - queens

With big finger and left click I can very fast inject more, than one hatchery + Grid scheme helps me a lot

Change ventral sacs from v to anything else, maybe e or something

Changing larva inject to e might be useful too

Those were there already in the release version. Haven't anybody told you that before? I'm sure I've heard you mentioning them at least once. Soon this information will be redundant, but anyway, here you are.

Not sure what keys you can change but upgrades for air, eng bay upgrades, raven upgrades and a few others I don't use often needs to have grid

I build up my layout around QWE too.
TAb is Ctrl, CapsLock is Shift.
F2 - add selection to my main army.
Also I binded a macro "Cronobust this!" to a key, to cronobust the current selection of building(s). I am changing to zerg and it is going to be "Inject to all hatcheries". Blizz does not wont to make it autocast so I had to do it myself. I know it is all illegal but I do not care if banned. And I do not think it is unfair, I have too much of real life, I play just 3-4 hours a week, cannot practice so much as the most does.

since I use grid mode, the only thing I'll do is change attack from T to A and probably the warpgate to something else. The only conflict would be ghosts' nukes, and I can rearrange that.

and backspace into '(which is right by the 1).

everything else stays the same, it is such a no-brainer.

F1-F3 keys, here I come!
Nevermind. Apparently we can already use 'em. I'll most likely change metabolic boost to 'a'. Might change the worker's stop to something else too. I've stopped one of my drones so many times from trying to select larva

Perhaps I will attempt the backspace method of larval inject after changing the cycle hatchery button to a more convenient location.
