wasn't there a patch in which blizzard fixed this kind of mechanic so you had to press the hotkey one by one again ?


I'm 99% certain that it still works.

they were going to do it but decided against it because a large amount of zerg players used this mechanic

Okay. Thought that they removed this mechanic. But I think Zerg would be quite nasty otherwise. But removing this mechanic wouldnt be such a big deal for many ex-broodwar players either I think .

I only read the first page so I apologize if this has been stated already, but you can decrease the time from the initial downstroke and the start of the repeating by adjusting windows keyboard settings.

This is probably most useful for casting forcefields/snipes/infested terran or warping in gateway units as a protoss. OP already discussed the usefulness of it in terms of spending larva.

There is a tweak to the registry so that instead of a 3/4th of a second delay between when the first and 2nd unit triggers when you HOLD the key down - you can change it to 1/4th of a second. Even the windows keyboard control panel's fastest setting (3/4th of a second) is still too slow and troublesome to some people and they will refuse to hold keys and will prefer self-tap because of that delay. THIS FIXES THAT down to 1/4th of a second.

User Key: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Keyboard]
Value Name: KeyboardDelay
Modify the existing value, called "KeyboardDelay" and set it to either 1, 2, 3 or 4 where 0 = ¼ second , 1 = ¾ second, 2 = 1¼ seconds, 3 = 2 second delay.

You need to reboot to for changes to take effect.
