Well i've start using alot of hotkeys not a long time ago and i am still wondering what are the best matchups of hotkeys/units and what is to, or not to hotkey.

I have some problem with ran while im hotkeying my 2 or 3 CC and racks for pumping rines, i have the feeling sometimes im just getting slower doing hotkeys.

I APM is barely upon 100 so yea i would like some tips in order to get faster, how you use ur hotkeys and what do you hotkey depending on races n units???

Thx

OK, this is when i use Hotkey's.

# When i scout with my Worker, i hotkey that, so i can scout base's easily, without Selecting the Actual Unit.
# Temps / Drops
# Workers
# Hotkey My Mass's for better unit Control, for Flanking, mass Stim, or mass Micro
# Hotkey Important unit's like, if i'm going 2 Nuke i'll hotkey my Ghost's so i don't missplace them

5, t = storm

1 = scout

just to let you know..you can hotkey areas on the map too.. shift + f2/f3/f4.but you have to click on one of your buildings in the area

hotkey areas of the maPO-o...seems awful useless...takes too much time...and it sounds like u can just hotkey the building... not sure what ur doing diff...aside from harder buttons to reach

not really, if you try it.. its like scrolling your mouse.. or clicking on the minimap takes a bit more time than just hitting f2/f3 and hotkeying buildings you have to hold the number down..takes about 1 more second :P

i always hotkey my scouts...i also use the shift command on the scouts to each base, but i usually end up manually controlling them, if i got time.
