Hey don't worry about not being a pro. I like that you like the game and wanna help other people. This is a cool trick I didn't know about. Props for being a contributing community member.

this makes a lot more sense if you use hotkeys like:

1-OC

2-rax

3-fact

4-port

5-army1

6-army2

then, macro is 1q2qqw3w4qw

and attacking is 5t6t

@PPAGUADA You can use your thumb and index finger to hit control 1 and 2 and for control 7-9 you can thumb the right control button and your pinky. Or you could just customize your F1-F10 buttons to assign control groups. And if you need camera controls you can just use the number pad keys unless you play games where you would need inventory keys.

Hey man, thanks a lot! I didn't know about this at all. I don't know if anyone else has this problem, but my biggest problem is in assigning hotkey. it just seems that pressing control and a number is soo hard, especially control 1 and control2, putting my pinky down on control and pressing 1 is so far away, I somtimes use my pinky and my second finger. I'm really trying to improve and I think this is hindering me a lot. So if you know any way to get around this that would be great!

Ive been gaming for over 20 years and I can jump inot almost any game and be pretty competitive but I've always sucked at rts (mainly cos im a console gamer). These tips are really helpful man, cheers

[ImFezle]

the tip that the grid layout is the same in the bottom right of the in game HUD was amazing thanks so much!

Ooops. I forgot to say that was a good video not with. ha.

[TheTremayne1]

Hmm that was a good with. The grid option is cool, but I like standard. I only play terran though, so i dont have to learn each race because i dont play random; well unless im just messing around. I wish bizzard allowed use to customize are own hotkeys for EVERYTHING. I would help soooo much more. The only promblem i have is when I hotkey my building to numbers because i have to take my hand off the keys to press 1 or 3 then i lose my place a have to look down.
