Being able to customize hotkeys is a standard feature in any modern RTS, it should have been there from day 1. Could someone implement a grid layout for all races and upload it to this site? | ||

Now if you open GameStrings.txt you can see 3 types of single action, it's: - original SC2 (Example: Stalker=S); - oldstyle SC1 (Example: Stalker_SC1=D); - for lefthanders (Example: Stalker_NRS=L); As you can see on release SC2 in game options we will have to change what type of hotkeys we want to use. Changing hotkeys isn't cheat, it's like to change controls in Quake3, CS, etc... PS: Morrow hello :D | ||

Just modify it and check a box in options. The only thing we need in SC2 is an adequate in-game GUI to modify it instead of a checkbox and a txt file. | ||

A game simply cannot be released in 2010 without allowing you to switch keys, it would be like playing an FPS with the arrow keys, highly ineffective. I dislike how you call this "without bugs" when it clearly has some bugs that makes it unusable. For example I do not see a way to bind "select all warpgates" (default w), which is one of the most used hotkeys as Protoss. | ||

That is, if you do use the german version instead of the english version... On March 30 2010 02:33 Paladia wrote:I appreciate your work.

As I wrote in the OP, we haven't found where that hotkey is coded/binded yet... @Tiler : in your next update, you might want to fix the typo about the terrans (it's written "Terrain" instead of "Terran") And do you think it would be possible to have a function that will load the SC1 or NRS settings automatically?? | ||

Is it possible to alter the spots of the buttons on the grid ? I use grid based key bindings qwert etc... but I want my probes to have the build buttons at the top of the grid, at the "Q" and "W" positions. If you can make this possible, it would have been awesome  | ||

Don't forget to make the changes both ways (if you replace the "move" button with "attack" you have to move the "move" button elsewhere), also that the top row and left column have the value "0" (so, it goes 0,1,2 for rows and 0,1,2,3,4 for columns). Good luck! Oh, btw, for those who are too lazy to read the guide, I made a video guide, just check OP. | ||

I am protoss only and this is kind of a disadvantage compared to the other lang. versions. Please keep searching for how to adjust this select all warpgates thing! Would be great for me and all other german users to have the possibility to use this. | ||

I have gone through the process several times and it seems to work correctly, except when I am in the game the hotkeys are just the default ones. I am using the english EU version of the client. | ||
