I thought that I remembered the ability to assign a hotkey to a location in SC1, but I don't see anything listed in the hotkeys for SC2 for such a thing. I'd like to be able to immediately switch the view to a particular location (like Backspace does for your base).
I thought I saw something in the key assignments that sounded like it for ctrl-F7 through F10 or something, but when I tried to set them and then use them it looked like they were set to do something else entirely.
