What hotkey profiles do you use? I use grid, with a few modifications
→ Select all army unbound
→ Select idle workers unbound (` was my PTT key, but I will probably rebind it to middle mouse or something eventually)
→ CC load us bound to U
→ Building lift is bound to L
→ Building land is bound to L plus grid default V
I also plan to bind the following keys as alternates, so I can use rapidfire:
I (key might change, depends if it conflicts or not)
→ Liberator: siege
→ Ghost: snipe
→ Cyclone: lock on
→ Raven: auto turret
→ SCV: build missile turret
→ Ravager: corrosive bile
I also plan to change the key for baneling detonate so I accidentally don’t kill banelings after morphing them

No requirement to use the keyboard when you land a building. Suggest you use tilde for idle worker (the ~ key next to 1), or caps lock (base camera). Should be more paranoid about lifting all bases accidentally compared to baneling detonate because in grid scan is right next to lift. Also cancel (b) is right next to lift so lifting production accidentally is also a possibility. Nothing wrong with using all army unless you are high GM, still useful to control click certain units and re-hotkey them. With grid, cannot rebind ability units as stated but that is perfectly okay because nothing will conflict for example liberator siege and corrosive biles are both Z along with auto turrets, also Z is the build key and there is a trick to rapid fire build anything on Z if it is binded as a rapid key.
I am still curious how different they are between races.
I have every thing on my keyboard on rapid fire and my keyboard has a 200 repeat rate. Trust me you dont need to think about which hotkeys you need on rapid fire. You just need to feel confy to your reaction time and keyboard repeat rate.
This is why I rebound lift to L, unbound cancel from B, and rebound CC load to U. I kept accidentally hitting the keys for lift/load/cancel when I meant to do something else and causing a complete disaster.
You can rebind unit abilities in grid, but you have to do it manually via text file, which is what I do.
How do you select ALL workers made? I have no idea how little or how many workers I have at any one time.
Hover mouse over your supply, it will show worker count. Although for Zerg it will even count the larvae, T & P it will not count the workers queued up.

What text file? Even if this is true, do not see a point.
