The Core is a highly-optimized alternative hotkey layout for StarCraft 2. Instead of looking at a list of keys, use this tool to put your hands on the keyboard and see what does what.

The Tilt

The Core is designed to be used with your off-hand on the side of your keyboard closest to your mouse, with a tilted keyboard to keep your wrist straight.

You'll need to press Shift, Ctrl and Shift-Ctrl a lot, so you may want to remove the keys between Alt and Ctrl.

There are left- and right-handed variants, and layouts for each race as well as a generic Random layout.

Are you right- or left-handed?

What is your main class? (Every layout is designed to allow off-racing. If you play all three equally, choose Random.)

(Don't worry, this is easy to change later.)
