However personally I like it somewhat spread out. 1a2a3a4a5z6z7z8z9p0p is second nature going like 1q2q 3q tab e 4q would make me do sooooo many misclicks If I ever feel the urge for customkeys in sc2, I would probably use 123456 qwerty asdfgh zxcvbn to cover everything. And wouldent space bar be a great key for attack? | ||

QWE ASD ZXC keys are such a bitch. It reminds me of Footman Frenzy in Warcraft 3. -_- I actually really don't mind how the keys were made in SC1; however, I'd like them to be like DotA's: all on the left side of the keyboard, but not blatantly done like the QWE system. For example, Probe would be R or E, not Q. | ||

On top of that, the QWEASD(ZXC) keys for many people are on a slant, so it's not nearly the grid that is shown in the box. For me, the line between Q and W cuts the Z button in half. That's how harsh the slant would be, and misclicks would happen often. | ||

Space would be awesome, but it'd be even cooler if you could use a side button on your mouse too [: Like, you have Right click, Left click, and Mouse3 (which is either a scroller or a side button for most people). I think that would be incredibly useful, no need to move your hand from the number keys to the a button. Just 1click2click3click4click etc. "1a2a3a4a5z6z7z8z9p0p is second nature" Basically exactly what I do xD So easy. I get frustrated when I have 8+ gates and I had to use 876543 and then double click 3 to jump my screen to where my other gates are. If let's say I could make my other 2 gates w and q, it'd be almost like going down the same row. 8z7z6d5d4d3twtqt. So easy. I hope they have that in SC2. | ||

It's great that some of you guys got use to the hotkeys for SC1 and prefer it that way. No prob with that, customizing hotkey is just for others who don't feel the same. So some will play with the default hotkeys other will customize its a win/win situation! | ||

backup your old patch_rt.mpq and replace it with this one http://download.yousendit.com/0DD859037D3A5293 It's basicly qwe asd zxc when constructing buildings/units Spells are at qwe instead of zxc so that they are easier to reach. Things like archonmold, evolve lurker, guardian/dev form, comsat/silo addon are at z,x liftoff is C burrow is q for all zerg Attack and Stop are at a,s as usual but hold position is D and patrol is R making it easier to use those commands Really fast when your used to it; not recommended if you are going to play at tournaments etc... | ||

Yes blizzard is going to let US configure hotkeys SINCE, they did it in wc3 and they said in interviews that they want to make sc2 even more accessable for the players.. Also, it's easy to just take an usb-stick(also rapidshare as seen above) with the customkeys as a progamer, as pro warcraft 3 players are already doing. It's easier to remember a position on a keyboard than a letter, even if the letter is the first of the unit's name. While this might be different for some people, generally it's that way. | ||

I don't see why these keys would have to change; clicking a building (or selecting it through a hotkey) and pressing A would only select that button on the grid, it wouldn't cause any of your units to attack-move the building, would it? | ||

it was designed like this: there are 9 boxes to the bottom right in the starcraft console that are reserved for certain things, example, when you select build with probe the top left box is a nexus, the top right an assimilator. well the program made the hotkeys correspond to the position by using the 9 keys at the left of the keyboard : qwe // asd // zxc , it was really easy. | ||
