i dont see how this is any easier, than throwing switch base on spacebar, holding shift down and hitting space->click, litterally i can inject 6+ hatches in a second

or you could just use control groups for each queen per base like 99% of the pros . . .

I think this is inferior to the normal way of doing things since you have to move your left hand from the base. What i do is have spacebar for base toggle, 4 for queens, and the default v for injects. I guess the only reason for this possibly being better would be to free up some binding space (opening up 4 for another army group) otherwise I don't get it.

Personally I have a razer death adder and rebound backspace to one of teh extra buttons so when I have to inject i select my queens, hold shift and inject and then I my mash the 2 mosue buttons for liek .5 secodns and all hatcheries are injected.

only rpoblem is when you have a new base without a queen yet and your queens start marching to that base to inject...only to die D:

In the defense of the detractors, there is no point to this thread. Everyone already knows you can rebind keys. The rebinding method here only makes sense if you've never injected larva before and don't already have muscle memory for the command, since this "new" method is neither new or in any way quicker or easier.

People see "Sick zerg inject method!" in the left sidebar aren't expecting to see the same inject method everyone already uses except using keys that seem to be only chosen because they are next to each other.

I feel like you should always use F1~F8 to camera hotkeys.
Maybe you can use some other set of keys for this injection method, like ZXC

This specific way to inject larva (F1, F2, F3, click) has never been explained in a TL thread. If you've seen this before, please link to it and I'll take back what I said.

Everyone knows you can rebind keys, but there's more to it than that. I, for one, am thankful for the OP's contribution. You have a different setup that you think is superior. That's fine, but some people (myself included) may like his way better.

This isn't necessarily new. You just moved the backspace method.

The keys that have been selected don't matter at all, and he made no explanation about why these keys were selected other than they seem to be next to each other... the base cycle larvae inject method has been discussed ad nauseum and this "Sick zerg inject method!" offers little to nothing to it that anyone who has played starcraft wouldn't have already realized. (i.e. that you can rebind commands)

If I were to create a thread called "Sick new Marine Micro Method!!!1" and in it I suggested rebinding a control group to F1, binding attack move to F2, and binding patrol to F3, it would get closed because it's not a good reason for a thread and doesn't contribute anything, and this thread offers just as much.

my method is to

location keys f1-f4: f1 = main, f2 = nat, f3 = 3rd
hotkeys all hatches to 4
hotkeys all queens to 5
f1 - 5 - v - click, f2 - 5 - v - click, etc.
It's all about the journey, not the outcome.

Hey, if you hypothetically found out that rebinding control group to F1, binding attack move to F2, and binding patrol to F3 was more efficient than no rebind, your thread wouldn't be closed. In fact, you should probably receive an award or something.

This is hypothetically, of course. Unlike this larva key rebind, which clearly can be useful for some people and has never explained with these specifications (F1, F2, F3, click), rebinding the attack move, patrol and control groups has no utility.

Sigh... can you explain even one reason why this method is better?

There are 2 possible ways to perform the "Base Cycle" Inject Method...
1.) Hold down the inject key while cycling through bases and click
2.) Hold down the shift key + inject key then cycle through bases and click

In the first case, the OP is suggesting that holding F2, while hitting F3 to go through bases would be easier or more natural than holding V and hitting the space bar? This method moves your left hand away from the keys it should be at with a traditional setup and doesn't seem to be something an average computer user is going to find more convenient.

In the second case, the OP would be suggesting that Shift + F2 is easier to or more natural to hit than Shift + V (and then of course using F3 to cycle through the bases instead of the space bar.

I would argue that this method has no utility... in fact it takes away utility from other keybinds such as camera keybinds and the idle worker keybind for splitting vs hellions.

The problem with this is that people use F1-F4 as camera hotkeys, and this would require you to change them.

after one batch of F1,F2,F3,Left click, one base is injected, spamming F1,F2,F3,Left click multiple times will inject your other bases because F1(camear base center) will center your screen to your next hatch.

so after you hit F1,F2,F3,Left click, one base is done, then when you re-hit F1, you start your inject on your next hatch, it cycles through ALL of your hatcheries.
