Tips and tricks of StarCraft 2 part 2

Multiple queen spawn larva Using the method described earlier ("Faster spawn larva"), if you have queens at multiple bases, you can order them to spew their acid via the minimap. Whichever queen is closer to the hatchery will automatically do it, and so you now no longer have to put them on different hotkeys, or be concerned about if you have the right queen going to the right hatchery.

F1 Idle pick I know most everyone probably knows that you can hit F1 to choose your idle worker. But you can also hold down Ctrl button while hitting F1 to select all idle workers!

Serial unit commands For units that have specific abilities (casters, tanks, stalkers, etc.) you can use shift to send them future commands. For example, if you have a lot of marines/marauders holding a cliff, and you are waiting for the tanks to come for long attack, if you pick the tanks and hold down shift, you can tell them to A. move to a exact location and then B. go into siege mode when they get there. Then you don't have to wait for the tanks to show up and then give them the command to go to siege mode - they'll do it automatically when they arrive.

Ultra fast warp-in Again, going with the shift + commands. With Protoss, if you hold down shift while warping in a unit, you don't need to keep clicking the hot key for that particular unit to remain warping them in. You can select your warp gates (w, if you're new here), choose a unit (i.e. "z" for zealot) and then hold down shift and click in as many zealots as you have warp gates without having to hit "z" again.
