I’m trying to get better by developing more hotkeys. Everyone says to hotkey everything according to your own preferences, but I think it would just be nice to have a guide to base things on.
Right now I mainly use these to select buildings/units:
~ for explorer
1 for town center
2 for barracks/stable/warhut whichever I make first
3 for fire pit or consulate
4, 5, 6 for additional military buildings
And I use some of the standard hotkeys to make buildings: S for stable, b for barracks/warhut, d for dock, e for house, m for market, f for consulate.
What do you all use as hotkeys for selecting units? Training units? Things like combat modes and crack shots? What other things are important to hotkey?
How are your hotkeys set up?

T for towncenter
V for villagers
N for eject from TC
control groups for units/buildings of course. And that is it

Re: How are your hotkeys set up?
T - towncentre, y-eject vills, R-train vills, G-Dock, H-home city, F-find explorer. I use for quick building, q for house, w for market, e for wall, a for rax and z for stable. I use s forfind all barracks, and x for find all stables. I mix this with s and x to train skirm/goon with other nearby letters for other units. (i.e a for xbox and z for hnd cav). I would save control groups for troop management. The letter i use represent a pattern or area on the keyboard and not related to building like your s for stable but b for barracks. Also i have a select all selected unit on my mouse but i have accidently moved all my vills so many times

Re: How are your hotkeys set up?
I would start from the base up but only work in a few hotkeys gradually
Re: How are your hotkeys set up?
Oh wow, I had no idea there was a “find all barracks” hotkey possible. Awesome! This will make late game so much easier when you have like 6 raxes
