My first thought is both the ` and w keys are unused by zerg and very easily accessible for 1-5 and f1-f4 but unfortunately these keys aren't recognized the same way as alt, ctrl, and shift (can be combined with other keypresses for different affects such as capitalization or pasting from clipboard.) Has anyone found a way to remap this (other than a programmable keyboard) that could be done even in LAN tournaments? | ||

It's a lot closer and you can use the combos of it and still do things like Shift attack and Shift move. | ||

For instance I could make control+5 "attack" but I couldn't make "control" moved to the ` key. | ||

That you don't have a function to "Ctrl" but lots of commands bound to different combinations? I think there are commands for "Defining hotkey 1-0". I know that for cameras it is like that, at least | ||

The trouble with something like sharpkeys is I can't install it onto MLG computers  I have a feeling I'm gonna be stuck with using a keyboard that has programmable firmware since that will go anywhere. | ||

Blasphemy The trouble with something like sharpkeys is I can't install it onto MLG computers I have a feeling I'm gonna be stuck with using a keyboard that has programmable firmware since that will go anywhere. Any chance you can run something as a portable app off a flash drive? I dunno how strict the regulations are. | ||

in the script you'll want to put somthing like LAlt::Ctrl Then you can control click units with alt. Ask me how I know It's not directly within the eula but you probably won't get banned for it. The specific ruling for the eula was no more than one action per key so it's technically fine :D | ||

On Windows, I use SharpKeys to do the job. It claims to be an XP program, but I've been using it on 7 without any problems. EDIT: And by Unix, I mean Ubuntu. But hey, who uses anything else? In windows (any version it is as easy as a registry change to remap a key, I have since forever had Caps-lock as a 2nd backspace key, and for zerg this is great when using the backspace-inject method. There are programs that do this in a graphical way, but they are at an OS level so if someone would not need the graves key then it might be worth it. And plenty of people use plenty of *nix other than Ubuntu. | ||

If you are on a windows system then you can do this, but note that this changes your layout for your entire system not just in Star Craft. I'm not sure if you can map 'W' to ctrl in particular, but I don't see why you couldn't. Warning: if you aren't comfortable messing with your registry then you should not do this. + Show Spoiler + | ||

I've remapped my hotkeys so creating a control group is used with the 'alt' button but I'm used to using 'ctl' as a double click (when you press control and click a unit, you'll immediately select every one of that same unit nearby). If I could just remap everything 'ctl' does to 'alt' my life would be so much easier. | ||

The software itself it's great because you can save the profiles so it's easy to switch from one to another (basically default and gaming profile). However, since it requires the system to reboot after any change I'm wondering if is it allowed on lan tourneys. Can someone with a bit of lan experience tell me if they generally let you remap keys or you should have pre-built layouts (maybe saved on the keyboard)? | ||

If you have a Razer mouse, you can bind one of your extra buttons to be ctrl. | ||
