HotKeys from TheThinkingGamer

TheThinkingGamer is a new YouTube channel that provides some SCII tutorial videos.  They are hit and miss so far, he is obviously very new.  But some are amazingly helpful.  This HotKey video has revolutionized my playing.



Some highlights for me include not having to memorize hotkeys, even for my primary race.  First of all, there are too many.  Second of all, it is hard to figure them out if you forget during the game.  For example, some make sense, such as "Gather" being "G" in default.  But then you get things like Overlord as "V."  Yes, I realize they got it from the second letter, but it would be much easier if they were all just on the Grid.  Even simple things like the Assimilator, Extractor, Refinery quagmire are streamlined.

As TTG notes in the video, attack being "T" is odd, sure, but the attack button is always in the T location on the grid, across all races and units.  Therefore, you just learn Attack as "T" once for the entire game, and you are set.

Enjoy this tutorial video, and check out the rest of TheThinkingGamer's videos on YouTube.
