  Its easy to learn.
  Just imagine the commandermenue over the keyboard like this:

  They definitely need to add QWER;ASDF;ZXCV in the corner of each of those tabs/buttons.

  ah this video is nice thx :)
  
  Does anyone know how to deselect MACs by a key?
  If one mac is selected and you want to build a structure in front of a marine or sth you have to scroll to base and select the CC first before you can build it there without waiting until the MAC is in position.

  You don't need to select the CC, any non-mac structure/unit will do. I regularly just drag-select marines first, drop the structure, then reselect my MACs to build. Frankly, they should just remove the requirement that MACs need to move to the location to drop a structure if they are selected. Also, wrt the shortcuts:

They talked about it a few months ago <a href="http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns2/forums/index.php?showtopic=111596&mode=threaded&pid=1809477" target="_blank">here</a>. Basically, you select the buttons such as
  
  First Row = QWER
  Second Row = ASDF
  Third Row = ZXCV
  
  The idea is that instead of memorizing the hotkey sequences, you memorize the location in the grid.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

  Yeah, it's rather confusing since the tabs don't look like they'd use the same keyboard shortcuts, but they do. The alien menu is easier since all three rows have the same height.

  I sincerely hope they will fix the selection of the hive/cc to not randomly shoot into one of the corners of the map in the next build. press 1 to launch yourself into another timezone T_T
  
  
  And perhaps make it a doubletap to jump to the location of the current group, instead of singetap -> Singletap for selection, doubletap to jump to the unit/building group
