Hotkeys, mousekeys, SC2

Post by 36drew »

I may have missed it, but are we able to reprogram hotkeys in sc2? Or are we required to use the design they have setup.

The main thing I am interested in at this point in time, is using the two thumb keys on my mouse. If I am able to, I was think one for all idle workers might be nice, and i'm not sure what I might use the other one for?

Does anyone know if this is possible?

Install the driver software of the mouse. U should be able to put keys with that on the buttons of ur mouse.
U can edit hotkeys with a editor from Teamliquid, but i thin u cannot put mouse buttons

Yeah, I got the drivers immediately since I wanted to play with settings. I might just deactivate those buttons if I can't hotkey them.

To make this sure. U don't program them via SC2, u program them via ur mouse software and put a certain key on the button
In AOE3 i used one vor idle villagers and one for scout or idle military units

coma is right, for example you look at sc2 and see, idle villager is F1, then you can also put F1 key to your mouse side buttons, and voilá, you have the hotkey on your mouse :-P

Jump to base or push-to-talk would come to my mind, all the other keys are good reachable IMO

jump to base is 4-4, most annoying is the idle vills who are located on F1, a button i am not really familiar with.
