Done by a moderator (I think) from all things protoss on reddit . Link to the video below + Show Spoiler + http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8hYrEOGJVU Basically change unit management from left key to 'W' your default key for warp gate , hold shift + hot key of the unit (say zealot) and move mouse over the pylon field - I think this maybe similar to the infestor trick ? Looks pretty nifty. | ||

Like can it warp in 'too fast' or anything? Well I guess the limiting factor in this case is how much you move your mouse. It makes sense that it would set another unit to warp in as close as it can to the last one. So if you only make a small arc with your mouse, only a set number of units can fit to warp in that arc you made. If you make a larger arc, you might just use all your warpgates without meaning to. | ||

Can you also be set up to use the same trick to quickly cast feedback or graviton beam (or ghost snipe or infested terrans)? We only have one hotkey we can overlap with the unit management one, and it seems like if you use it on warp gate you will be blocked from using it anywhere else in the game. | ||

Currently my unit management hotkey overlaps with my "warp in zealot" key, so I can only use this trick on that one unit. I would love to be able to quickly warp in stalkers, sentries, etc as well.

You can add more hotkeys for same command via hotkeys file in your Documents ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/ZH3etlx.png) More about it here http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=386958 | ||

I normally just hit W, then hold down the unit hotkey, s for stalkers, z for zealots, etc...then proceed to spam click as fast as I can or money will allow. I'm slow, sorry. | ||

Hey I'm the one that made the video. The Unit Management key is normally default to the left mouse button. So putting this as an alternative as well makes it so that when you select the unit you want to warp in, you use the same button to both say you want to warp it in and where you want to warp it in at the same time. In my example it was "W". You're eliminating the mouse click with this method allowing you to spam out a huge amount of units in 1-2 seconds. It really saves a lot of time during late game engagements (which is really the only time this is used to great effect). @hearters: Is that not what I'm doing in the video? | ||
