1 nexus 2 army 3 alternate army (i re hotkey this several times in a game depending on situations) 4 robo 5 stargate rest is too far away from my fingers... can reach 6 sometimes if i have an oracle or an observer i dont wanna lose track of... otherwise the keys are too far away and i dont wanna lift my hand to press buttons it seems to be slower and less accurate... i'm high master btw | ||

1 - melee units which you can just a move 2 - banes or units you may have to have control 3 - these days SH or infesters 4, flying units - this is an issue atm cos i can group broods corrs , vips and mutas all in one grounp and i can lose stuff so need to controll click a lot of the time (yes this needs improvement i feel) 5 - hatch1 6hatch2 7hatch3 8hatch4 9 - rebound where i put all hatches and then 0 is for special things like scouts, nidus and other tidbits | ||

4 stargates/robos 5 nexii and forges 6-7 observers F2 to F4 for other stuff but have to improve using those, maybe starting using camera hotkeys but don't see too much use in them. Using F1 as select entire army now but I'm starting to think using that is detrimental. It's nice for battles if you constantly want to send new warped units into battle and retreat with your entire army (saves you binding new units while in battle) but I HATE that it selects observer too, otherwise it would be great. | ||

It's really obvious with each race too: Z: 4 for armie as hots has added a lot (swarm host + festor + viper + any support easily needs 4, maybe even 5) 5 for main hatch/nat hatch etc. so you can build units where you need units and army where you need army, also saves drone traveling distance if you make them at the right hatch and if a timing comes you can have reinforcements pop where they need to pop 1 for all hatches, obv makes it easier to remax P: 5 for armie (between mamaship core, the usuall split between zealot/sentry and stalker, colossi, templar and all the viable air units you can easily create armies that just need 5 to control properly) 3 for production, robo + stargate + warpgates, you obv need warpgates as it has many advantages hotkeying it vs using the build in one, but that should be known by now 1 for nexi And that leaves 1 for whatever you want, sadly you can't have 1 group per nexus as parting has (thats why his immortal allin came so much earlier in wol, he just spent exactly the money he needed on probes) without sacrificing army control T: 3 for armie should be enough unless you wanna always hotkey drops 3 for production, obviously And then I tend to have my first 3 ccs on seperate keys to optimize worker production (many korean t que up the next scv in each cc just as the old one finishes to have even better makro, I feel like this is part of the reason why korean t's makro often looks so much better than white people makro), and then have 1 for all which obviously makes com satting/muling easier lategame. And there you have it, imo zerg NEEDS 10 to work properly, protoss atleast 7 to be ok, and t 10 if you wanna do it right, atleast 7 if you don't. Now how you rebind them and which you use for what doesn't matter as long as you are comfortable with it. Personally I prefer to use the entire keyboard ( for example I make overlords on O and Marines on M, so I do use 1-0) as it just makes the game more fun to me, but you can obv also only use half the keyboard if that makes you happy. | ||

I also use the ` key remapped to CG 10 which I think is pretty common. Anyone know the hotkeys of the pros? It seems to be a fairly closed door subject and after lots of googling I just found CG suggestions. Not actual optimized standard hotkey layouts and tweaks. I know the first suggestion to this topic is use what's comfortable. The problem I'm running into is I'm running out of keys for my army. Pretty much my CG's as of now are 1-2 units 3 cc's 4-6 production 7-9 not used 0 upgrades F1-F5 Camera locations When I look at top terrans most of them use all of the CG's. I've tried putting all my CC's on 7 and it has gone fairly well but it just seems far away and awkward for macro cycles. 1-3 for units 4 CC 5 rax + engi/armory 6 fact 7 starport 8 engi+armory 9 ghost acads 0 is modified to ~ and is for units/drops but i dont really use it much How the fuck are you surviving off 2 unit hotkeys only? | ||
