I can't find my original manual for the game that has a quick run down of the default keyboard shortcuts. I have scowered the internet looking for an image of the back of the WC3 manual with the keyboard shortcuts on it and I can't seem to find a single thing. It seems like a lot of WC3 players make their own keybindings, but if I don't know what the original key is for a certain command, how the heck am I going to be able to remake the shortcuts?

If anyone has a link to a quick guide of the keyboard shortcuts in WC3, please post it here ASAP, I'd like to play. Thanks

It depends on what you want the hotkeys for. If you want for melee maps there's a tool called 'warkeys' that makes it easy to set them.
Info in this thread:
Custom Keys - WCReplays.com Community Forums
There are also some premade customkeys. I use the one where the hero abilities are on the QWER line.

However, if you want it for a custom game you can only do it by opening the map and check the unit ID.
Then, or if you dislike warkeys, you have to use the normal way provided by blizzard. Just go into your warcraft 3 folder and you can find a guide (CustomKeysInfo.txt), a sample for the hotkeys as they're now (CustomKeysSample.txt). The customkeys have to be called customkeys.txt.

Kewl, thank you for the link, I'll definitely check that out.

I basically play single player campaign and 1v1 matches on Battlenet. Right now I'm just using ctrl-# to make units, etc, get back to my tree, the usual.
