Hmm,Maker,it only work for myself?Not work for another user which play my map?(Like Chosen One)

Hmm, using custom keys will be only change it for your war3. And this for all the maps. (so compability problem with some others maps)

The CustomKeys can be used for :

Change Descriptions
Change Hotkey
Change the ButtonPos

CustomKeys function with the ID of the thing that you change.

For Example, if you want change your Attack hotkey :

//Basic Attack
[CMDATTACK]
Hotkey=A
Tip= |cffffcc00A|rttack

//Example of Modification
[CMDATTACK]
Hotkey=K
Tip= Attac|cffffcc00K|r

And this function for Spells, Items (sell), Units (sell).

For more informations on CustomKeys, read the "CustomKeyInfo.txt" into your war3 files.

I read it already,but i still cannot understand,also i changed CustomKeySample(Attack,Move,Hold Position etc),it not work?

If you have an edited AbilityData.slk inside an Units folder inside your wc3 folder you could literally edit the abilities in world edit like regular other abilities.

Or if you have JNGP you can basically just modify game play constants or whatever. They are in there somewhere i think.

How can i open the war3mpq?lol,i want change the hotkey of my map,not only myself(Mean i give my map to another people play,another people's hotkey of attack(A),stop(S),etc is follow the hotkey of the map,like The Chosen One)

CustomKeySample is just another Information text.

For change your hotkeys, you need to create a CustomKeys.txt in your war3 folder. Then activate the "CustomKeys" in the war3 options.

Get a MPQ Extractor like Magos (>>>Windows >>MPQ Browser) and do

Extract CommandStrings.txt from War3xLocal.mpq\Units. Search for [CmdMove]. Apparently, it is directly the first one at the top. Change the value of field Hotkey. Save and import the modified file in your map under Units\CommandStrings.txt again. Of course, this will also apply all other data located in this file, along with changing the tooltips and other hotkeys of these standard abilities.

If the player uses custom keys, these will still be prior.

Like I said, CustomKeys works only for yourself and for all maps.

Hint:
By editing this file you can also change positions of icons. For example I moved patrol button to the right upper slot in my map, so that all default wc3 buttons (attack, stop, hold pos, patrol) are on the first line.
