0 Command Centers

What I should do:

1 Command Center (To remind me of making SCV / scan - mule more efficiently)

2 3 4 Army (I need more but now I can't bcz I stick with 3 for Rax!!)

5 6 Harassing stuff

7 8 9 Rax Fact Ports

0 Upgrades
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!

If I was properly dedicated I'd have control groups 8 and 9 bound to Shift+E and Shift+R.

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

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.

As Toss:
1. Army (minus HTs if I have them)
2. Stalkers (if I'm going colossus), otherwise I have this for HTs
3. Robo (gateways until Warpgate is done)
4. Stargate
5. Nexi
W. Warpgates

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

Zerg:
1. army
2. army
3. army
4. Queens (backspace inject method)
5. Hatcheries

Terran
1. Army
2. Port
3. Rax
4. Fact
5. OC

again, this could be much more efficient :P

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.
