Custom Hotkeys Discussion

Ok so recently I made a new hotkey profile to use, to make macroing a bit easier. I changed TownCentre (view hatch) originally from backspace to Z, and idle workers frmo F1 to x. I figure this would help me greatly in injecting lava faster, as i currently use the minimap to do so, but this method should be much quicker if utilized to its full extent

The idle worker button F1 I don't think many people use because it's so far away from the other keys, but now I've remapped it I find its quite useful to press X a few times and see if there's any idling workers around. This doesn't happen too much as Z since you use drones to make buildings but from time to time when playing T or P it should be quite useful

I also wanted to remap the location hotkeys to something else, but haven't really thought of good keys for them to go to. I was thinking maybe ALT+number keys if that would work, maybe the "," "." "/" keys also. anyone have any ideas/suggestions?

I have put Backspace and F1 on my mouse side buttons with Logitech SetPoint

That makes macroing much easier

Then buy one.

MX 518 e.g. THey aren't so expensive anymore. Or get it to Xmas. ;)

It is pretty useful for injecting larvae.
Though after each patch i have to change manually the XML config file since the exe is always at a different place then. The Starcraft2.exe is only a pre-launcher.
Otherwise i would have to configure it via Setpoint again and that is a bit hindrance since it doesn't let u edit the exe file via GUI

why would you want to do that now? in a few weeks you get the new patch which allows you to edit all the hotkeys without any further hassle :-P
and as coma said, i juts used the side buttons on my mouse, GRID layout is neraly perfect i just needed the "0" and "9" numebrs on it plus the backspace button for centering view on the TC's
