Those are at the left of the keyboard. I was wondering if you are left-handed ?

Nah, i just find it easier to have lot of control groups for units later in the game for easier army spreads etc (up to like 4 or 5 control groups when i have 200/200), so having nexii/robo's on somewhere between 1 to 5 kinda hinders me, so I have them over the right hand side.

Also the fact that it's pretty habitual from broodwar to do 0p for probe production.

Um Edge where's the hotkey for all of your hatcheries?

[TAEdgE]

I don't use one, habit from brood war
I prefer to make units from the most convenient hatchery. If they are doing say, aggression with sentries in PvZ, i'll make units from my natural (like roaches) so they won't get forcefielded out, and make lings from my main because they have a better chance of getting down the ramp. I tried to change but it's just more comfortable for me.

Injecting is sometimes a problem, but if i play well, i'm injecting well, so it's more mentality than hotkeys.

I'm a lover of macro hatches, so what i end up having is something like this:

5 - 2 hatcheries
6 - 2 hatcheries
7 - 3rd base
8 - 4th base

That said, I often switch them up depending on the match-up and/or what build/unit composition I'm aiming for. Although I would like to segment my units slightly better but that will come with time ofc!

Btw, I have successfully broken my initial hotkeys without breaking my fingers. It took me roughly 100 games to get comfortable though. Sometimes I still struggle with my new layout in late game, but I feel now I have much better control of my army

1 -army (zealots, sentries, immortals, voidrays, carriers)
2 -more army (stalkers, colossi, mothership)/scouting probe/scouting stalker #1
3 -MOAR ARMY (HT, phoenix, DT's, warp prism, harass party)/scouting probe #2/FE natural probe/scouting stalker #2
4 - primary production warpgates/stargates
5 - all nexus
6 - secondary production robo/stargates/warpgates
7-10 - observers, tech building, warp prism, some key units on the map.

I still use double tap on "5" to recall main base (instead of F2 etc.), and click on tech buildings. Guess I'll need to fix that. Macro warping also takes more apm than it should. I recall main, mouse scroll to location i want to warp (usually it's natural ramp), then recall warpgates, and do the warp magic. I want to force myself into using screen controls, and do F2-F4 for bases. Idk how will it work out.

My apm (as calculated by sc2gears) is very low, averaging 90 in 1v1 games. When I played wc3, I had 140-150. Since sc2 is supposed to be more apm-intensive, I'm really questioning whether I'm doing things right.

I see nothing wrong with your original hotkey setup.
If anything (and this is being really nitpicky) you could put command centres on 6 and your upgrades on 7. this is so you can have your fingers resting on 3 to 6 which are all your production facilities.

do whatever hotkey setup is comfortable. there is really no 'wrong' or 'right' way of hotkeying, the most important thing is to use them!

[iMSystem]

TvZ / TvP
1 - Command Centers
2 - Barracks
3 - Factories / Starports
4 - Special Units (Ghosts, Vikings, Hellions)
5 - Main Army
9 - Tech Lab upgrads (Check Stim timing, and such)
0 - Ebay / Armoury

And TvT I have no Barracks hotkey because I play mech :P so I have a 3rd hotkey for units!

[MooZfY]

Mine is

~ for base cameras
1 - all the CCs
2- Main Army Bio<
3-Army Production
4-Vikings/Drops
5-Ghosts/Drops
6-Upgrades

[faithHunter]

I play Terran and I don't really hotkey my units - I just Ctrl-click one type of unit and control them from there. Because of this, I'm having trouble with TvP, since I can't just Stim and kite if I have a Ghost selected, and if I use the "tab" button, I can only select one type of unit at a time and I won't have that much time to kite.

My current hotkey setup when I play terran (or any other race, actually) is:
1: CC/Nexus/Hatch
2: Scouting worker at first, then replace it with a Barracks/Robo (since warp gates are already hotkey-ed to W)/Queens
3: Factory
4: Starport
Don't really use the rest of the hotkeys except for units, even though I don't use them more or less.

[FvRsolis]

1- main army
2- off/casters sentries (blink stalkers if I'm doing a blink build)
3- scout/warp prism
4- Robo (immortal being bound to the 'T' key)
5-All nexi? Nexuses?
6- Stargate

Space- replaces backspace as my cycle through bases key.

[ZiggyD]

Firstly I use 'Command' instead of 'Ctrl' for control groups. I use my thumb rather then pinky. Works well for me. For PC users Command is essentially where your alt is, next to the spacebar.

1 - Casters.
2 - Army
3 - Harass/Prism
4 - Nexus
5 - Gates > Twighlight Council
6 - Stargate
7 - Currently unused.
8 (mouse button) - Robo
9 (mouse button) - Forges
0 (mouse button) - Scout Probe / Obs

I want to switch 1 and 3 around as 1>T is a bit awkward. Whereas 1>e/d id easy.

If anyone can think of a productive way to use 7 i'd be grateful

[mGGVersus]

6. Creeping Queen
7. Evos
8-0. Nothing unless using nydus, in which case 8 is Nydus Network and 9 is Nydus Worm.

[x5_Potter]

1. CC's

I'm bad for hotkeys

[AxS.Sorathez]

2. Stalkers (if I'm going colossus), otherwise I have this for HTs
3. Robo (gateways until Warpgate is done)
4. Stargate

W. Warpgates

Should probably move everything up one to have more space for army...

Terran

Depends on the matchup, but 1-3 are various units (either 1 or 2 will always be my whole army) and 4 is production ,5 is nexus, and Q is another control group for observers, warp prism, or forges.

[Easy]

For zerg i use.
1- Lings/Roach / Sometimes banelings and use them manual
2- Banelings , Hydralisks , Roaches.
3. Mutalisk , Infestor, Broodlord/ultra , Corruptors
4. All the hatcherys

9. Evolution chamber
0. First overlord (That im going to suicide to get scouting info/make it overseer to scout)

As you can see it depends on what I play. If i play terran i usually save 1 for lings , 2 for banes/ first roaches i use to stop helions and 3 for mutalisks. Against toss 1 Roach, 2 Hydras , 3 corrputor/infestors/Bls
ZvZ 1 lings , 2 banelings , i use roaches manually and mutas 3.

I use protoss and my bindings go as such:
(I'm still getting used to having more keys right now haha)

1 - Army
2 - Warp Prism/Templars/Phoenixes/Voids/Mommaship (whichever build I go for depending on match up)
3 - Nexussseseseses
4 - Robo Facility (Stargate if I don't go robo)
5 - Stargate (Forge if I don't have Stargate)
0 - Rebounded it to the `/~ key to the left of 1. Usually Nexus/Warp Prism if I have templars

And I rebound the build Immortal key from I to S (because seriously, WHY does it have to be so far from every other hotkey when you play Protoss.....)

Thinking of changing hotkey "0" to "w" and use it for 1 or 2 Vikings or Ghosts to scout ahead in T v P engagments..... not sure yet.

T v T

Same as T v Z depending on if I go Bio or Marine/Tank. It's fairly rare that I play mech.

Switched Backspace and Spacebar keys over to cycle through Command Centres. I only use two of my Camera location hotkeys atm which are used for the Watch Towers.

44v55v66v idra style injects for hatcheries
0 (rebound to e) all the hatches
I'm still figuring out the camera hotkeys, but instead of your bases, i like to use it on their bases. that way i can scout while macroing, then quickly check what my ovie scouted

[TASalvatioN]

[nOtse]

I dont like moving my hand all over the keyboard. So this si what I have come up with.

1 - CC's / Nexus
2 - Barracks / Gates
3 - Factory / Robo
4 - Starport / Stargate
5 - Engi Bays / Forges (Upgrade Attack = A - Defence = D)
6 - Armory / Various Upgrades
Set groups with Ctrl+

Q - Main Army
W - Ghost / Colli (also used early game for multi aggression)
E - Viking / HT ( Same as above)
R - Drops
Set Groups with Alt+

Cameras 1 - 5 = F1 - F5
Set with Shift

Main Casting Spell / Ability for All units = F
Secondary Casting Spell / Ability for all units = C
Third if any = G

Casting key's are not set in stone - if an ability is already set to one of those three by default I usually stick with them.

[ToRDolo]

I play zerg and here's what I use, cheers to PiG for getting me using the queen + hatch combination from coaching ^^, it's so good!

3 - Broods/corruptors
4 - Mutas/overlord drops
5 - Main hatch + queen
6 - Nat hatch + queen
7 - Third hatch + queen
8 - Usually not used, sometimes fourth hatch + queen

0 - Rebound to w, all hatches + evolution chambers so I can upgrade super easily.

Early game have first scouting ovie on 4 and I spam w45w45w45w45w45w45 while boxing mineral lines to get used to hitting that w and 5 to check larvae/inject timings!
