This is how I use the keyboard for tanking..

Z = War factory bookmark.   THUMB uses Z.   TIP: Use the numeric keypad arrows to scroll map and set perfect postion on map. Best used if you are using E (select all) and don't want the truck to be selected.

W = Battlefield bookmark.    INDEX uses W , E , Q.

This is how I use the keyboard for infantry, building and when I don't need to make teams..

Index finder on H..  I keep my Barracks and War  factories close my CY.. The Index finger hits T (repair), Y (sell) and G (guard).

Middle finger on R.. R is the battle bookmark..  use the mouse hand to hit ctrl to make the bookmark.. or buy a microsoft laser mouse.. it has 3 programable buttons on it.. one is ctrl, one is shift and the top scroll button can be used also.. i set it to A (attack) to play starcraft, but in RA I use it to ally or I use my pinky to ally.

Ring finger on E (selects all).

Pinky on Q.. use Q to send out infantry and Q tanks. Pinky hits W & Z bookmarks & S (stop).

Thumb is not used.
