2.0.1 Hotkeys

PTR Discussion and Bug Report
1
  • Peon build burrow hotkey uses the build reinforced burrow hotkey instead of the normal build burrow hotkey and thus doesnt work. Its still set to ‘O’ ingame no matter what.
  • Shop select user hotkey is missing?
  • hotkeys for upgrading to T2/T3 are missing
  • Tavern command card missing some hero hotkeys
  • Goblin shop command card missing some hotkeys and some are also mispositioned
  • Cannot change hotkey if quick filter is not empty.
  • hotkey icons in options are still the badly uprezzed 2.0.0 ones? Move still has green shimmer in the options but looks fine in-game.
  • doesnt make sense to have build shop hotkeys for the four races in Items tab. They are already coverd in the workers command card.
  • would be nice if we can choose hotkey position on command card
  • would be nice if single- or double-clicking hotkey on command card would start listening already

Edit: this was all tested with classic HD icons selected. BTW a great way to compare the quality of the icons is to swap between classic<->reforged while having the hotkeys options open.

Can I just say that the only problem I’m having with the new interface is that I don’t want to use it, but every time I change any setting (such as sound) it overwrites my CustomKeys.txt file which I created from the Github hotkey editor that’s vastly superior and works despite the game constantly trying to break it.

Edit: PTR hotkey editor seems to be working a lot better at least, but it’s still concerning having CustomKeys.txt overwritten since it can wipe out custom tooltips and custom game hotkeys.

if you set your hotkey file to “read only”, warcraft3 doesnt ovverwrite them anymore.
thats the best workaround atm

Thanks for frequentlly updating the PTR. I noticed almost all of my issues are now fixed as of build 22444. AFAICT the following issues are still present:

Some new issues:

  • The new listen on icon click is great But doesnt seem to work for cryptlords impale icon on his left command card (the one below patrol). It does work on his right command card though (where you learn skills).
  • Tinker hotkeys revert to default keys when putting a skill into his engineering upgrade passive.
  • goblin laboratory select user has wrong icon and position
  • there is a conflict between some shared hotkeys. e.g. lesser clarity potion in orc and human shops have different positions and changing it in one place changes it in the other one too.

Why can’t I bind half the buttons on my keyboard? Specifically the mouse buttons and page up/down, home/end.
