Easy way to change all hotkeys to fit QWER grid

[Xetanth87]

Hello! This might not be the correct place to put this in. If it isn't please tell me what is. I usually play Warcraft 3 with QWERASDFZXCV hotkeys. Because hitting Q for workers is easier than hitting P. I can't really get into custom campaigns because everything has different hotkeys and the CustomKeys.txt does not apply to anything other than melee abilities. I know I can go into the Campaign Editor to fix them, but since I want to play the Campaign for the first time, I don't know where everything fits on the grid, or how many things I have to change. Is there a way for the editor to replace the hotkeys based on their Button Positon (X) and (Y)? Or is there a program that disables hotkeys and issues a mouse click on the top left button whenever you press Q? (Kinda how Warkey lets you assign hotkeys to inventory.)

I think your best bet is to use a hotkey program to map your key binds the way you want them. Personally I like AutoHotkey (free, open source). You'd have to mess with your own script file to get it the exact way you want it (sounds intimidating but not actually hard). Example AHK script below for when you hit ctrl+G:

^G:: ;Drop right three wc3 items if your screen resolution is the same as mine - you might have to change it for your resolution
{
Click right 1200,900
Click 500,950
Click right 1200,950
Click 500,950
Click right 1200,1000
Click 500,950
Return
}

Example script for rebinding inventory hotkey:

XButton1::numpad8
XButton2::numpad7

Hope this helps.

I have made this code and the only thing that works in-game is the Suspend toggle. The rest is blocked in-game, but it works in other applications.

!x::Suspend
t::numpad7
y::numpad8
g::numpad4
h::numpad5
b::numpad1
n::numpad2

Ok I got it. The problem was that I was using W3Arena for Higher Resolution and Borderless Windowed. I think it blocks it on purpose so you don't cheat with it in multiplayer. If I start the game normally it works perfectly! Thanks!

Happy to help out, I was gonna suggest non windowed and running it in administrator mode but it sounds like you got it.
