Maybe there is an interesting interaction to find between camera location and nexus recall: – save current location to #cam with an alternate for cam 3, with Shift+CapsLock? currently unused…) – Shift+#cam to target base – select nexus – launch command (R) – back to (Shift+3)

Not sure it could make sense, the goal would be to get a comfortable way to make quick and precise nexus recalls. Therefore we could think about cam alternates for fast cam save, and location of the Nexus Recall to fit with those alternates. What do you think about that?

possible interaction with issue #9

See previous commit 9c70161

Quick cam can be used like that. The typical sequence would be:

• quick cam save with Alt
• Shift+#base to jump to wanted Nexus
• release Shift & select Nexus
• whatever order
  • Shift+CapsLock to recall quick cam
  • C to launch Nexus recal
• select Target

I thought a bit more about this recall, it could be better to make Shift+CapsLock and alternate to create(non-steal) for this group. Then CapsLock could be used for recalling

• Shift+#base
• release Shift, click nexus
• Shift+CapsLock
• double tap #group
• CapsLock+C+click select nexus and recall

Benefits: – CapsLock could be assigned upfront as a retreat option and recall earlier – #group to recall could be ordered to move and flee big army (no longer relying on static camera)

current best method is: camera recall + nexus selection + recall + minimap target

previous quick cam feature was removed

change of issue title, any idea is welcome, we can see whether it does not hurt non-protoss races later :D
