A hotkey is a key or set of keys which perform a specific function with regards to time efficiency. In StarCraft, hotkeys are vital as they allow for orders and commands to be delivered quickly, thus allowing for better control, management, and more time.

[edit] List of Hotkeys
[edit] Universal
- F10 - Menu
- Ctrl 0-9 Assigns hotkey to a specific group (ie if you select 12 marines and press ctrl 1, you can tell the twelve to attack by pressing 1, then attack.
- Shift click Queues up moves: ie to get a worker to build then mine, hold down shift, click on the building you want to build, then click on where you want it to go, then click on the mineral field. let go of shift. A unit can hold up to 10 queued moves, when the number of clicks exceed ten appears a message "Unit's waypoint list is full."
Another use of shift click is to remove or add units to the currently selected group. By shift clicking a portrait or the unit itself of the currently selected unit, you remove it from the group. You can add a unit to the current group by shift clicking it.
- Ctrl click Crtl click on a unit to select all units of that type visible on the screen (obviously, up to the group maximum of 12). If you ctrl click on one unit in a group of units, all units of that type in that group will be selected.
Note: You can also Ctrl-shift click units too, to get the combined effect of adding all units of that type visible on the screen to your current group.
