New Hotkeys: For your consideration

from Demigod Forums

I have a couple of hotkeys i would like to apply for consideration, so maybe they can come with the next path, i feel that for a competitive game, hotkeys are a must at least the ones that are related to basic control. As a sedna player ive tried to micro my minions and this are the hotkeys i feel will be usefull to gain full control of the minions as a general.

1-Hotkey to select demigod: After i hit "m" and select all my minions and move them its always ackward to then click on the portrait of the demigod or on the demigod itself to get to select it.

2-Ways to select individual minions or create hotkeys to select individual minions: For exqample being able to select all preists by hitting the "p" key or by ctrl-X to select yetis(x being the key you want to assign that group to.).

3-Hotkey to cancel a skill while casting: so you dont have to move to cancel the skill.

Thats all i can remember for know, someone wants to add tot his?

H key should select just your demigod.  Also the options list a key for selecting certain types of minions like just priests but when I tried it it didn't seem to work...

cwsault is right. You can already remap the key to select only your Demigod or individual categories of units under your command.

Number 3 is definitely absent and is a good to have, yes.

On a side note, I remap my keys as such:

(QWERTY keyboard)

R - map ping

F - select Demigod

B - regroup minions

V - select all minions

Z - Demigod info window

X - skill tree

C - select both Demigod and all minions

This was setup so that my left hand can easily access all commonly used hotkeys without having to do itsy-bitsy spiders across the keyboard.

It always blows my mind when people devote hours and hours to a game, which run into days and weeks and months, WITHOUT SPENDING 5 MINUTES GOING TO THE OPTIONS MENU AND SEEING WHAT ALL THE BUTTONS DO!!

Sheesh... common sense people.

However, the ability canceling one would be nice.

To cancle abilities you can right click the mouse or use esc.

Did not realize about "esc." I think he was looking for something that you could do while standing still, since positioning is so important, and a few steps can cost you as many auto-attacks, so he was looking for something other than r-mouse. So, "esc" is good to know.
