I dont know why but as soon as I think about customizing hotkeys my hands start to shake, I feel nauseous and depressed. It something about it that just seem so fucking WRONG. Dont mind me, I'll just start playing wow again... I mean, will you even be able to stay at the higher levels and stay with your current hotkeys? I dont want to change them  | ||

Changed hold position to S and patrol to D, stop to G. Burrow and cloak to Z, unborrow/uncloak to x. For spells that I want to avoid a misclick at all costs for (morph to archon, explode baneling, morph to BL/overseer), I changed to F. Production of buildings and units to grid format. Cycle through bases to grave(tilde). Change warpgates to Y (but have a mouse button hartdware-bound to Y) The main idea of this changed is to benefit from the convenience of a grid type system (all keys close together, easily accessible, and same keys across different units for spellcasring. Also howerver QWE/F is much better for quick reactionary casting while toggling through control groups. | ||

The main thing I'm gonna do is to set control group 0 to ^ and warp in on <, which always annoyed me in games. And chat I will put on Caps. Sort of like vi modes with the mode switcher set to Caps, and you also get a visual indicator on the keyboard if you are in chat. Just hope the game is smart enough to ignore the Caps if you reassign it. Saved map positions on F2-F4 too. | ||

The strategic and tactical part of the game is still there. The custom hotkeys are there just to make it easier to do certain actions, by not stretching your hand or taking it off your mouse.

(Sorry about the somewhat bad english, I suck at phrasing) Yep, it's quite the opposite. The the easier the interface becomes to use, the more the game becomes about the tactics and strategy. One of the reasons I absolutely don't agree with the remove of the hold key production is, that it ads or removes absolutely nothing from the game mechanics, and merely makes the interface more cumbersome. | ||

As protoss player, the most important thing would definitely be changing the "immortal" hotkey. Btw. when I build a mothership I CLICK on it, the mothership deserves to be clicked ffs  It would be pretty retarded to not allow it in tournaments since this is an official part of the game and your changes are saved to your bnet profile. | ||

Something like W or E might have been a much better choice, but those both interfere pretty badly with other keys. | ||

Maybe playing guitar makes my hands a little more in sync, but i dont see the big deal. I dont play zerg though, | ||
