People interested in changing hotkeys may want to checkout Autohotkey
http://www.autohotkey.com/download/

remapping is as simple as

troynt, how is this program working with SC2? Suppose I use the grid layout and want to change select larvae from Q to B, does that mean I have to change the Q key to B using that program? and what happens to other stuff using Q as hotkey?

Thanks for your work

Yes it looks like a step backwards. Looks to me like they have incorporated compatibility which is good but requires co-operation across development teams or common files end up looking like a mess or duplicated. In warcraft 3 you can even change the position keys appear in the grid to more easily make them match the key assigned (well it mostly worked). Not even a chance of doing that here it looks like hotkeys were an afterthought.

I made a brief of everything collected here to a new post.

Part of the inhumanity of the computer is that, once it is competently programmed and working smoothly, it is completely honest.

SC2Tools v1.0.1 beta (Download)

What's new:
- [Units Hotkeys] Now works all hotkeys. GameHotkeys.txt saves in 2 places instead of only Mods\Liberty.SC2Mod\LangSC2Data\LocalizedData\GameHotkeys.txt
- [UI Hotkeys] removed 'Apply' button. Now strings changes when you change key in combobox

can I just update the GameHotkeys.txt and leave it somewhere instead of updating the MPQ archive? I tried to leave it in different places, but it's not working.
I wanted to leave it in StarCraft II\Mods\Liberty.SC2Mod\enGB.SC2Data\LocalizedData, but I can't create a enGB.SC2Data folder since there's a file with the same name.

I'am not 100% sure, but looks like no. I have to test some versions to be sure.

I think the issue here might be that in beta, it was named "StimPack" and is now named "Stimpack". (note capitals) However, the file still contains the old "StimPack" entry even though it does nothing as far as I can tell.

If you just change "StimPack", it won't pickup your changes. It confused me anyway until I realised what was going on.

Is it possible to change the hotkey that lets you add more unit to a group (default Shift)? I looked for it in SC2Tools but couldn't find it

There is no separate key for it. You can change the hotkey for "append to group 0", etc. under
"UI Changer"->control group->control group append 0...9
but the modifier can only be ctrl, alt, shift or nothing.

If you have a mouse with more than 2 buttons its really worth having shift on one of the buttons because of queuing commands as well. A better solution in my opinion.

Thanks a lot for the tool anyways!


EDIT: NVM playerd around with it a little more and found the options, what an amazing tool thank you so much Tiler!!

Sure there is a way to check this and yes, they do (did) it in the beta in the process of patching, using the checksum of the original mpq-files and compare them with yours, so we had to backup the original mpq-files and recover them in the beta. But (of course) they don't ban these people. What if corrupted data was caused by system errors and not by you? Don't think there is an automatic way blizzard will recognize
