3 In my settings the W key is used for area-mex, Ctrl W for a custom selection command and Alt W for the wait command. My idea is to reserve Ctrl for all selection commands (Ctrl C for commander, Ctrl Z for all units of selected type, Ctrl B for idle builders, etc.), Alt for all unit states (Alt R for repeat, Alt F for firestates, etc.; not sure if Wait technically is a unit state, but for me it is, I should also move selfD to Alt D for consistency) and single keys for unit orders (R repair, F fight, etc.). 3 In my settings the W key is used for area-mex, Ctrl W for a custom selection command and Alt W for the wait command.

5 To answer @kaen's question: I use Wait for my initial factory. There's not enough metal to use all the starting build power, so when I feel like expanding I set my factory to wait. Sometimes I forget about the Wait command though, I thought about two ways to help me deal with this issue: 1) Factories set to Wait blink crazy in the factory bar, 2) give the Wait command a timer. 5 To answer @kaen's question: I use Wait for my initial factory.

Or maybe I should just leave the factory queue empty instead of using wait.
