Hey,

since i (for the x'th time) blew up 40 banes instead of morphing some additional ones in my ling/bling control group, i decided to fix the grid hotkey setup.
i searched on the forums here, and i found some people who complained about the same problem but found no answer, so i decided to open this short "guide" to save others some time.

Here's how it's done: (short version, just unbind key)

1. in SC2, add a custom key layout in Hotkeys, name it (e.g. "banes")
2. in windows filesystem search for your Account profile, there is a folder "Hotkeys"
(in windows 7 its in C:\Users\<you>\Documents\StarCraft II\Accounts\<########>\Hotkeys)
3. edit file "banes.SC2Hotkeys", add line below [Commands]:
[Commands]
Explode/Baneling=

(extended version)
4. add another custom key layout in SC2, from standard keys, unbind / rebind any skill you like, and save to banes2
5. check the "banes2.SC2Hotkeys" file in your Hotkey folder.
[Commands] will now have additional skills that you can just c&p to your banes.SC2Hotkeys


Hope i helped at least one of you;)

Couldn't you just go into the hotkey menu and make "explode" something like scroll lock? Any key thats not used. I could be wrong but I have revamped most of my keys that way. I don't think you can leave the units abilities blank in the hotkey menu so maybe you are right about the way to do it.

that only works in standard layout, not in grid.

Oh I apologize then, I only used grid for a little while and found it to be annoying. My bad sir.

Thank you, you'll save thousands of innocent baneling lives with this =) Hopefully one day blizzard will allow us to move commands to different positions on the grid, as you could in WC3
