As an ex-wow player, having control groups all the way up to 0 really sucks as I prefer to keep my left hand over the left side of the keyboard. Thanks to the OP, control groups 7-0 have now been remapped to F2-F5. I made a notepad file as he described, called Fx Control Groups, put it in Documents/Starcraft II/Hotkeys and put the following text into it + Show Spoiler + [Settings] [Commands] ControlGroupAppend1=Shift+1 ControlGroupAppend2=Shift+2 ControlGroupAppend3=Shift+3 ControlGroupAppend4=Shift+4 ControlGroupAppend5=Shift+5 ControlGroupAppend6=Shift+6 ControlGroupAppend7=Shift+F2 ControlGroupAppend8=Shift+F3 ControlGroupAppend9=Shift+F4 ControlGroupAppend0=Shift+F5 ControlGroupAssign1=Control+1 ControlGroupAssign2=Control+2 ControlGroupAssign3=Control+3 ControlGroupAssign4=Control+4 ControlGroupAssign5=Control+5 ControlGroupAssign6=Control+6 ControlGroupAssign7=Control+F2 ControlGroupAssign8=Control+F3 ControlGroupAssign9=Control+F4 ControlGroupAssign0=Control+F5 ControlGroupRecall1=1 ControlGroupRecall2=2 ControlGroupRecall3=3 ControlGroupRecall4=4 ControlGroupRecall5=5 ControlGroupRecall6=6 ControlGroupRecall7=F2 ControlGroupRecall8=F3 ControlGroupRecall9=F4 ControlGroupRecall0=F5 I left F1 for wokers but you can easily include F1 as a control group by changing 6 with F1 in the above text. You probably only need to include the F-key changes rather than every control group but it's convenient to have them in there if you want to change them around at any time. | ||

Long story short, even if you are not editing any gamefiles, you are still modifying the *game*, so be cautious. | ||

I think when I added Suffix=_GLS (grid lefthand side) like in my above quote, escape for cancel started working again. Also, try just WarpIn=3 without the UI/Hotkey/ | ||

Getting dependent on custom hotkeys at home may prevent you from becoming a champion. That's a good point but it's unlikely I'll ever enter proper tournaments and that's sure to be true for most of us. However, if that changes, relearning a few hotkeys won't be that hard with a few weeks to prepare. | ||

Getting dependent on custom hotkeys at home may prevent you from becoming a champion. Look, this is a non-issue. It's not happening anyway. If you're good, you (the general "you, not the specific) might end up playing and winning some online tournaments. You're not going to the GSL. Now I'm not gonna comb through this thread to make sure an actual progamer posted here, but I am damn confident in saying that no one in this thread is going to be competing in a live tournament. The argument of "You have to get used to default hotkeys because otherwise you won't be Flash" is ridiculous. It's not happening either way. | ||

http://eu.battle.net/sc2/de/forum/topic/441826448?page=5 Now its "closed" with the blue post: Name = Ulvareth "Das Modifizieren von Spieldateien oder Archiven verstößt gegen die EULA und kann Grund für temporäre oder permanente Accountsperren sein." translation by me: "The modification of game data or archives is against the EULA and can be a reason for a temporary or permanent account banning." I also posted the "new" way thats discripred here, and the Thread is "removed" without any word (links to it don't work anymore aswell). Ofcourse Blizzard cares nothing about any complains about removed threads / posts and theirs no way to really contact the blue post guy about it or ask anything directly. So as it seems, Blizzard (or just this one blue one) doesnt agree its legal and they just stop it ice cold. Seems Blizzard just wants to keep the Community sucking, they just get me more and more angry about the actions they make, while the game is cool, battlenet and the overall "community" managment is horrible bad. | ||

As i said this one has a "reason" to get closed, while the reason is kinda "gray" (as it doesnt damage anything) , the "OTHER" thread that has the exact way of "THIS" new way is just removed, not just closed with an blue post, its just "removed" entirely. So somehow that makes me think that the MPQ editing is "less" evil than the new way, at least by the respond of the blue post, which is very annoying ... Ok just that you can read the "removed" Thread : http://www.elitepvpers.de/forum/starcraft-2/750076-howto-hotkeys-ndern-neu-eigenes-layout.html I also posted it at the elitepvp forum as an exact copy. Its in german, and it is exactly the method that is used here. And exactly "that" thread got just removed at the German Blizzard Forum without any respons. | ||

As I wrote before in this thread, I'm pretty sure this is nothing specifically built-in by Blizzard, and just because you don't modify any existing gamefiles does not mean that you don't alter the game. | ||

OMG? they didnt banned anyone for hotkeys so far, neither for changing sounds for the matter they stated they will provide custom hotkeys some time ago, they even apparently created some groundwork for it, as you should know x) now, this is obviously unfinished and buggy as many posts in this thread prove, so no wonder they didnt went official with it so until now they hide behind eula to not answer questions, but this method emerged and eventually they will have to allocate resources to address this (probably soon), simple | ||

I'm gonna copy that ASAP, hope you don't mind :-) By the way has anyone gotten the unit/building/abilities remapping to work proporly? they stated they will provide custom hotkeys some time ago Do you have a source? People keep saying this but noone can link to a specific source. | ||
