What key should open builder menu? Z or B

Well past version I was trying to also fix the mess location of keys so I tried to achieve this form for all keys:

|q|w|e|r|
|a| s|d|f|
|z| x|c|v|

They correlate screen position and keyboard position.

But there are people that want the Z key, which is used to open up the build menu to be changed back to B button.

Even tho I like the neat formation of keys, I decided to ask what the majority wants.

So what is it?

B. Plain and simple.

well sometimes there is qwertz instead of qwerty keyboard setting so then z becomes y and the layout is gone

I don't like the B key either....



TAB key as my vote :-)

TAB/Q/W/E/R/A/S/D/F

But I rather choose Z over B if those my only choices

But at this case b or y is about same, no?

yes but everywhere in every situation it remains the same with b. u can switch between keyboards during day, u can forget about that... I usually switch a lot from local to en and it might happen ;-)

@Hellrasier

Hey HellRaiser couldn't you give the build menu more then one hotkey?

and you can let them choose which hot key they prefer?

So B & Z does the same thing? and if you can add tab or even middle mouse button would be awesome. Build menu = Z/B/TAB Or MB
Then everyone wins!

Well, I dont even know if we are allowed to do that in wc3, but i will check it out. Tab tho its not viable option, its used for cycle in a group.


edit: apparently jass can't detect key strokes on its own, needs vjass additions. Aka shitload of work for just that tiny little thing. Did i mention am really short on time lately?
