    What do you guys use?

    I'm looking for suggestions, as i learned the game with 1 2 3 4 5 however i recently started to play tinker and realized how awful that is.
    Like 1 2 3 is decent, however 4 and 5 really screw up quick execution.

    I use 1 2 3 4 5 T for items, V to learn abilities, and micro with space to select all other units and ctrl to select all units. QWERF for abilities.

    Edit: I wish i could use WASD for camera control.

      qwerdf for abilities

      alt+qweasd for items

      tilde for select courier, default courier cmds I think

      123456 for control groups, tab to alternate through control units

      caps lock for quick buy

      alt for teamspeak chat, z for dota chat

      spacebar *should* be last ping/event but I don't honestly use it much

      I also put minimap on the right side

        frostychee

          S D F
          X C V

          Faded

            i still use legacy ...
            sadly

            Q W E R F D seem optimal for abilities

            alt + Q W E D F Z for item hotkeys imo, i find pressing alt + R uncomfortable

            I would use 1 2 3 4 5 etc for your control groups

              MINIMAP ON RIGHT SIDE? Tell me your secrets!!

              My hotkeys are VAST! Here we go:

              I got big hands...

              ` or ~ = Voice chat
              1 2 3 4 - control groups
              INV SLOTS:
              5 6 - inventory slots, I asigned 2 of my mouse buttions to 5 and 6, I never press the keyboard
              T V - inventory slots
              extra mouse button 1 and 2 - inventroy slots
              Q W E R D F = abilities
              Ctrl+qwerdf = learn abilities (I manage to learn attribute bonus with CTRL+U... big hands, lon-...)
              A, S = attack, stop
              Z = Loot stash items
              X = select all beside main (excilent for meepo and lancer, and micro in general)
              C = Chat wheel - Careful
              CAPS LOCK = Shop (I don't use this because it fucks the chat up kinda)
              G = chat wheel - well palyed
              H = chat wheel - help!
              B = chat wheel - get back!
              N = Chat wheel - stun now (I rarely use this)
              O = need wards
              P = push now
              J = fortify
              TAB = shuffle thru units from selection
              NUMPAD7 = missing top
              NUMPAD5 = missing mid
              NUMPAD3 = missing bot

              NUMPAD0 = console

              I think this is all, I also have a mouse button that does ALT+S = hold position, currently useless since it works like stop with turned off autoattack

              Its true what they say about people with big hands... if you know what I mean...

                1 2 3 4 5 6. used to it from world of warcraft. ez

                Born

                  z x c space and 3 for items.
                  I use legacy btw.

                  can you use both, for example, z and alt+z as two different binds?

                    @ xan

                    Yes. I use q w e r for my primary skills, but alt+q, alt+w, alt+e for my top three item boxes, left to right. (it lets me use my items without moving my hands away from abilities)

                      When you got big hands...............

                      rambosalad

                        Abilities: Q W E R D F
                        Items: 3 4 5 / Z X C
                        Quick buy: space
                        Control groups: 1 2
                        Hero: F1
                        Courier: F2

                        I dont know how you guys use 1-6 for items. Don't even wanna know how you guys play heros like chen, enchantress, or meepo. I find 2 control groups that I use for my hotkeys not enough for these heros.

                          I use 2 groups for meepo, and 'f keys'. it's sufficient.

                          @artemis yeah I saw your post above hence my question. gonna check it out once I come back to doto, didn't know you could assign alt as well. thanks.
