Coming back with new hotkeys
 

I have been unable to play sc2 for many many months (lost count) but now that I finally have a working computer and internet i'm thinking of giving sc2 another crack

Before I stopped playing I had been wanting to develop new hotkeys so what better time than when i've basically forgotten everything ^^

Old Hotkeys:
I used Grid before ("q" was the first square on the thingy "w" being second square etc) with space bar as cycle base hotkey. I didn't hotkey queens so I would basically use space to go around my hatches and manually select queens and then inject
1 for main ground army
2 for infestors
3 for air
4 for hatches

Problem with this setup is it wasn't efficient for injecting or dealing with drops
additionally sometimes i felt limited only having 3 groups for units as sometimes I would want broods on a seperate key a ling harass squad on seperate key

So the new hotkey system i'm practicing is:
Basically I took grid hotkeys and shifted them all one key to the left along with my hand so now I have q, a and z free - I also got rid of cycle base hotkey
I'm using those extra keys now for screen position hotkeys as I found using the f2, f3 and f4 too hard / slow for me
I also changed hatches hotkey to 5 and put injecting queens on 6
6 - space - c - click - z - c - click - a - c - click - q - c - click
can inject 4 hatches super quickly as well as use same hotkeys for making drone transfers and defending much more effective
Now just to get accurate at using them cause so far in practice I have sometimes hit something like z - click - c meaning i select my hatch rather than injecting 0.o
Also the new method allow for easier access to some of the higher number keys without making access to 1,2,3 etc harder
