General DiscussionHotkeys

My hotkeys for every hero are the default QWER DF (for sub abilities) (Courier follows these as well)

Lower half of the keyboard is reserved for items ZXCVB Spacebar

Numbers on top are reserved for control groups (microing)

F keys for select hero/select other units/select all units/select courier keys

I have normal M/A/S keys and 6, 7 and 8 are used for glyph and instant item buy and tp buy (but this might change when i come back due to new camera control options)

Mine is designed to have only my left hand moving since I don't have more buttons on my mouse. (Actually, I do but I'm not used to using them).

You should experiment around and find what's comfortable for you. I patterned mine after Aui and Akke's hotkeys since they micro a lot (and have videos showing hotkeys and stuff). Just find out what works for you

I have basic skills hotkeys
Control groups: 1-5+y,c,v
^ quickbuy
F1-f3 cour
Itmes: alt Q,
mouse1,space,t,g,x
And the basic stuff (stop at s,attck at a,etc.)
Right now im trying to get used to to switch the control groups with the mouse wheel

My Controls are
WASD: Camera
ZXCVBN: Items
Spacebar: relocate to your hero
123456: ablities
QERF: control groups (Other meepos)
Tab: open shop
T: Force attack

Is the WASD camera thing just a legacy habit or are there pros and cons to it vs edge panning and camera grip? Just seems like it uses a lot of keys that could be used for other stuff.

qwedfr for skills
as for attack stop
zxcvb space for items
tab for switching betewn units
caps for putting points into skills
123 - hero, all other units, all units
4 - courier
f1 f2 - courier gif items, speed
f3 f4 - quicl buy, buy tp

and some other useless shit i forgot about

I agree I use a gaming mouse with 6 side buttons and make them my quickcast for 4 active items and a quickcast d and insta buy
