it was me
of course i find my own advice very useful! hehe.
I'm glad some one appreciated that finger position illustration. i comishioned a little-known microsoft paint artist to do that illustration for me. perhaps you've noticed and admired some of his earlier works, my current avatar for instance? (it's me also)
i watched a couple youtube videos of top ladder players playing where the videos focused on their keyboards before deciding to go ahead and post my autohotkey information. while they were getting 400 to 500 apm or whatever i noticed that they were using a lot of hotkeys and i never saw them touching the number pad keys once. i saw one guy was using binding with a special keyboard so that he could keep his left hand anchored like i do. with the exception of the 2 macros that i have for fast pinging and dropping hulls i don't think i'm doing anything out of the ordinary. i'm just not putting any macros in the ladder scripts i'm working on. i wonder what one of those special apm counter programs would say i got. the btanks apm counter said i got as high as 250 a couple times but i don't think that even counts half my actions. I noticed when i'm lagging and have a big delay my apm doesn't register as high.
maybe i'm wrong though, i know i saw one guy who was just going crazy with his left hand and clicking all over the keyboard. it looked like he wasn't using any custom hotkeys, but even he never used the number pads so i'm asuming he had at least something binded for his item slots. what made you think that hotkeys are looked down upon?

Why's the rothchild family crest and the illuminati symbol on my 1 dollar bill? Why do rich and powerful American "christian" leaders have gay sex and worship a giant 40 foot stone owl at Beach Grove every year? Why doesn't anyone care?
