Most Optimal Hotkeys

[KZZ]

it's nonsensical garbage just like 99% of the shit you post

optimal is superlative, it means best.

[Rana]

No it's not.

You can have something that is optimal, more optimal, and most optimal, etc...

The word "optimal" means that whatever it's describing is the most desirable condition, so modifiers like "more" and "most" are redundant. If something has to be labeled with one of those words, it's not optimal by definition.

[Sleisel]

qw attack stop
asdf skills
zxcv items
123 control group

[notjack]

It's just less than optimal to use a modifier before optimal when talking about how optimal something is, optimally.

yo there are 6 item slots guys, 4 keys aint gonna cut it

[Jigga]

S- stop attack
QWER-skills
ZXC-Bottom row or items
Space - top row, far right item
TY- Remaining top row items.
Courier has a default hotkey of , and I use that
Shop default hotkey .

It's really all preference, but I like my set up .

[KZZ]

I pretty much only buy items that have an on-use cause those items are just flat out better

[Legato]

Can you hotkey items in the shop? I used hotkeys to buy all my items in dota1 and I'm sick of clicking shit.

[J3D1.]

I used to be a legacy player but i decided to force myself into the qwer scheme. Hasnt been an easy transition but it is easier to control items now since the transition. Still use legacy on heros accidently for first 2 minutes.

Spells: Q,W,E,R,D,F

Hero:1
Courier:2

Items : 3,4,g,c,v

no i dont have anything for multiple groups i usually just use tab or click a shit load. i do not enjoy micro intensive heros such as chen or meepo

edit:

Speak : Space

Shop : capslock

[ekses]

I use legacy keys control 1-6

1 hero
4 courier

(I only use 2, 3 and 5 if i am playing a micro intensive hero)

I don't use quick buy but i use sticky (the tp on your quickbuy and it's kp_minus (-) is the hotkey)

F2 select courier
F4 scoreboard
F9 glyph
Pause/Break for Pause (lol)

Items is still in the numpad but it's alright I'm using naga anyways.

[WinkieDuck]

Almost no one uses alt+ or crtl+ anymore. It saves a bunch of space.

I find my keys to be really efficient. I've experimented with a lot of different setups and this is the best I've found so far. I might change to alt+ qweasd instead of qwaszx, alt+x is awkward to do, but I got used to it! I'm a tinker enthusiast so I often use 6 activatible items.

F1 hero
F4 scoreboard
F9 Glyph
1,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 control groups
2 chicken
0 is glyph (never accidentally pressing this)
Qwer df skills
Alt+ qwaszx items
Z shop
X quick buy items in quick buy
C tp scroll buy
V auto command courier to pick up items and deliver to me (does all with one key)
~ talk
Alt+1 select all units
Tab switch through control groups

A attack
H hold
S stop

[KZZ]

if you honestly think some hotkey setups are "better" than others you're just fucking slow

you need like 14-15 keys to play dota as long as you don't use retarded shit you're gonna be fine

I am wrong and you are right about this. +1
"Most favorable or desirable; optimum"
flopagis made a fool of himself.

I've created numerous big threads though 99% shit is an interesting opinion.
