I want Blizzard to really get how important it is to support customizable hotkeys in reforged at least to the level of having it as a choice like Warcraft3 does (a choice to have customkeys). I noticed on the current settings that “classic” is selected but there’s no button for customizing our own hotkeys.
I play left handed. I use ctrl on my thumb and my right hand is on the keyboard. No way I can switch over to anything but customizable hotkeys like I have them set up currently in warcraft 3. Please tell me reforged will have the ability to have our own hotkeys.
This is what warcraft3 allows with the customizable keys option, I can’t imagine playing with hotkeys meant for the opposite hand. At least please offer what warcraft3 already offers in hotkeys, so the game isn’t handicapped for a longtime player like myself (played since 2004).

Ok, so I saw the reforged UI and it gives an option for “classic” hotkeys, So i’m assuming that it’s going to say “Grid” as an option or something. But Warcraft3 allows customized hotkeys beyond just a standard choice. I personally play left handed with my own hotkey setup and this is allowable in Warcraft 3 using the customized hotkeys checkbox. So am I going to not be able to play warcraft 3 reforged because they only include grid or classic and don’t have an option for customizable hotkeys?
let me make it clear. I’ve been playing warcraft 3 since 2004 and it allows customizing hotkeys for left handed players like myself. If reforged only allows classic and grid instead of custom hotkeys it will ruin the game for me totally and I won’t be able to play it.

The customizable hotkey system was implemented in Starcraft: Remastered and it’s definitely something to expect in Reforged.
Heck, Starcraft 2 had that too and that came out ages ago.

Hello my left handed brother. How did you managed to custom with left handedsettings. I always played on mouse right since I got my pc, I just couldnt re-learn in even if my right hand is not as accurate.

My left hand is on the mouse. My right hand is on the end of the keyboard. My right thumb falls on left ctrl. I easily push left ctrl + 1,2,3 ect for control groups.
I have attack as Q so it’s easy for me to just click a control group and then click Q. Each unit or heros go-to spell/ability is A and then the rest is W, E, AND even R.
Building buildings is easy. I have A as the build command. QWER,ASDF,ZXCV for all the buildings.
It’s very easy to play the way I do.
Left SHIFT is easy to push.
Please God tell me you’re supporting customizable hotkeys for reforged
Two points.
1.) I believe it’s been said that they are. Don’t quote me on that.
2.) I don’t think God is on the development team.

What I saw was under the input menu an option for “classic” hotkeys. In Warcraft 3 we can customize hotkeys based on a checkbox to have hotkey use. If they release the game with only classic or grid it will ruin the game for people like me who play left handed.

If they put custom hotkeys in brood war remastered you can expect 100% they will be in wc3 remastered.
Just bought the game today, 1st time WC 3 ever, and I already think about a refund, because NO Keybindings is TERRIBLE.
I mean it is 2019 and I hope they bring it IN the game!
I don t want to use that Warkeys sh**t.
I want to use my own Hotkeys!
~cheers!

Its not entirely true.
There are options for custom keys planned, you can even select it in the options, but is not ready yet.
You can find keybind setups in Documents> Warcraft 3 already I assume this will come.
I suspect within the next 2 weeks
TFT had custom hotkeys available as well. The misinformation around here :\

I use the 2 text files of this tutorial to configure my custom keys in beta.
https://www.hiveworkshop.com/threads/customkeys-txt.253829/
https://www.hiveworkshop.com/attachments/customkeys_qwerty-txt.136346/ and https://www.hiveworkshop.com/attachments/customkeys_qwertz-txt.136347/
I take the config text file that i like the most and rename it to CustomKeys.txt, then i create a folder named CustomKeyBindings in C:\Users\YourUserName\Documents\Warcraft III Beta folder and put the CustomKeys.txt file inside this new folder. Then i enter into the game, go to options, input, and set the input to customized. Done. If i want to change any key i go to CustomKeys.txt file and change there. Personaly i prefer to use CustomKeysQwerty.txt file cause it has all spells of units and heroes in QWER form like league of legends.
Here is a tutorial in portuguese for beta. It is the same thing i told you here.

those keys are very outdated, they are missing several spells including any of the new changes in reforged… most people prefer having everything aligned to a Grid (so Move = Z instead of M) that way the inventory items can be set to TYGH
I already posted the most up to date hotkey setup just above, but since you missed it Ill post it again
