I tried the search function but couldn't find the answer.

Is there a way without using key press triggers (they cause far too much lag) to use hotkeys for spells when the game ui is hidden?

Bump, want to know this as well.

Found no way to do this via triggers so far. Probably possible via SC2Layout file editing? Have no experience with those, though.

As far as I know this is either a bug or an unwanted feature from blizzard. Hiding the gameUI disables the command card hotkeys.
even using the "Enable Hotkeys for All Players" Action does not enable these.

Try disabling UI frames one by one and leave only command card. See if that works.

Trigger
UI- Enable/Disable UI frame
Try leaving only the the command card.

that would work, but defeats the whole point. ive ran into this problem myself, I really dont want to have the ugly command card there.... might just hve to make my own custom UI for it... but thats extra work

I got your solution right here. Well who ever made this tutorial does. This tutorial moves the ui frames outside the screen so you cant see it but u can still use the hotkeys. http://forums.sc2mapster.com/development/tutorials/6223-trigger-default-minimap-and-commandcard-outside-the/

Did you actually read what you've linked here right now? Go ahead and read the last three comments on your linked topic :)

@s3rius:

ok nvm just trying to help i have the same issue.

Well, let me save y'all's time: It doesn't work.

You can't just display only the Command Panel. You can't hide everything except the Command Panel. You can't restore hotkeys via triggers.

It seems the only way really is to emulate them via Key Press events. Which isn't really a viable option. I hope Blizzard will get some fix done there.

bump, has a solution to this been found?

@BallsButNoSack: Go

Yes. You will want to use "Show/Hide UI Frame" action -> Hide Console, Minimap, Info and Control Group panels. That will leave you with just command card(+clock and fried-list) panel visible which you can move away from screen using layout files.
