Interesting points. I can see what you mean for someone of your skill level (Masters). I wonder though for someone in a lower league, who does not have all the hotkeys memorized if this would be as easy for them.

The other thing that may be worth looking at is the arguments presented in this book: https://www.amazon.ca/Peak-How-Master-Almost-Anything/dp/0670068764

It argues that the best way to learn a complex skill (chess, violin, sc2) is to break it down into small components (how to draw the bow across the strings, or how to split marines) and then deliberately practice those aspects. Apparently this has been shown to be true for decades with increasing evidence and explanation for why this holds true as of late.

Having said this, I wonder about whether the Hotkey Trainer is the "pinnacle" of hotkey drilling. There may be other exercises that are more suitable to training the muscle memory for hitting hotkeys to issue commands. The book argues that not all fields have developed enough to have identified, through trial and error, what the best drills are. Piano and Violin for example have those drills identified as a result of 300 years of trial and error. SC2... being quite new, may not. I personally would love to see a new generation of arcade games that try to use different drills to teach specific component skills for sc2 so that we can see what seems to work best.
