Why Using The GRID Hotkeys Is Important
// Saved in: General Tutorials
We all know how important hotkeys are for being a good Starcraft 2 player, since they allow you to control your units and build buildings without having to use the mouse.
Now by default the hotkeys are based on spelling, which has several disadvantages. They are pretty hard to remember, uncomfortable to play and different for each race. So what I highly recomment is using the GRID option: You enable this in the ”Hotkeys“ section in your options, and then your hotkeys will be based on location instead of spelling.
This means for every race and every unit the hotkeys will be qwert, asdfg, yxcvb, so you don’t have to even know the unit’s/building’s name, you just have to know it’s position on the screen and use the respective key on your keyboard. You will also be able to react faster since you have all of your hotkeys together and not spread over the whole keyboard.
