Hotkey Overloading

Hotkey overloading is a technique in hotkey design where multiple game actions are assinged the same hotkey combination (a combination is a set of keys that have to be pressed together to trigger the assigned action).

It is possible to overload a combination with multiple commands, but in general not with any kind actions.

Hotkey that are assigned to the following actions cannot be overloaded without compromising functionality: In this wiki, these actions are also referred to as Global actions.
 * Select control group 1..10
 * Add to control group 1..10
 * Set as control group 1..10
 * Go to camera location 1..8
 * Set as camera location 1..8
 * Base camera
 * Select idle worker
 * Select Warp gates
 * Next subgroup
 * Previous subgroup
 * etc.

The rest of the actions that can be assigned hotkeys are all commands, and there are no commands that cannot be assigned hokeys.
