current hotbuild preset layout (for comparison) :
Spoiler: show
Aim of this hotkey layout preset, is to reduce the number of hotkey to learn, and make them easier to learn.
This come with the ability to use a cycle in the factory in order to build unit, like you would do when building structures.
you can access all tech level of a unit type, that are available for a factory, by pressing several time on the hotkey. You build them by clicking (left click anywhere on the screen; shift click = 5 units are ordered). You leave the cycle mode, by pressing middle click, or you give a rally point to the factory (right click).
This hotkey layout is designed only for qwerty. You can build ~80% of unit used in the a game by knowing 6 hotkeys (Z, X, C, S, D, F)
The drawback is that you will need more click than with current hotbuild to build a unit.
This comes with the ability to reverse cycle, by pressing alt-hotkey. This come in handy if you have a lot of template for example, and you want to build one of your last template.
On top of this, you now can build factory template with hotkey. Btw if you prefer the hotbuild preset layout, but you like the factory template hotkey, you can bind it in the f1 menu.
As usual you can test that on the FAF feature mod : FAF develop
