Hi guys,
Wondering if you can hook me up with some hotkey tips for toss. When I push mid game just as I am getting templars I have trouble controlling my entire force correctly with 3-4 templars a pack of zealots and some goons because so many to hotkey while still trying to macro up. Does anyone have any suggestions of how I could do this more effectively other then putting each templar on its own trying to control them all with 1-6 while macroing.
Thanks for any input.

For mid to late game, my units all get top priority over buildings. So I set them all 1-3; 7-0 should I get that many. Templars should go 4-6 because those are your three closest keys to T for your storm.
There is no 'right' way, just a comfortable way.
These are what mine look like in game:
1:Dragoons
2:Goons
3:Goons
4:Templar
5:Templar
6:Templar(stack these three if needed, so templar x2 on each if necessary)
7:Zealots
8:Zealots
9:Building/Arbiter
0:Building/arbiter

Tasteless is writing about a competetive keyboard for SC. He is a toss player and therefore uses those hotkeys. I think it will help if you follow that. Part1Part2

I personally use 1,2,3,4 control groups (Lurkers, Lings, Hydra, muta, whatever) and 5-9 expo hatcheries, and then use the F-keys for production clumps.
Probably not as effective as using 1-9 as unit macros, but I consider myself a much more macro oriented player.

Many P players tend to hotkey '0' as nexus as it is right above the 'P' key allowing you to quickly build probes.
