Is reassigning hotkeys cheating?

[~ToRa~]

I recently stumbled upon a program that changes keys on a keyboard I tested it and was thinking to change "q" to "o" to make it easier to macro ogres.
But before I do I wanted to know if this is even allowed.

I do know a number of players who are doing it this moment.

doesnt seem like a big deal.  i believe the decision is made for us by some international versions of war2 already having different hot keys than the US version

Well here is the program,

One can reassign the hotkeys to suit their own preferences.

Or you could just edit the file in the mpq....

U got a better way to change the hotkeys? Can you tell me how to do it?

[woofy]

the question in the thread title is the opposite to the actual poll question

messiah made a nice hotkey changer with some large-boob lady picture
i could totally rock the war3 version of hotkeys (QWE ASD ZXC) if it wasnt for muscle memory combinations such as 0p9p8p.. or 1a2a3a4a5a6a.. ("wtf claw how u attak with all at once")

[Szwagier]

the hardest think about new hotkeys is that u need to stop using old hotkeys

"new game"

all players will remember forever bf bb bh

Normally in rts the rule is, one "action" per keypress... One press one peon, no macros...

[Certified MENSA Genius Brain (smart)]

yeah macros definitely not allowed. but making peons with Q instead of P if someone wants is no biggie

I've been playing so long with the current hotkeys that I can't imagine remapping them would ever result in measurable improvement.  I suppose if you played a lot you'd get used to new hotkeys.
