GunsNMuffins, you know, if pressing on spacebar instead of mouseclicking is considered similar to bots in rules then let them block my account right away =)
Checked some threads on reddit and it looks like I'm not alone.
Just finished testing it.
So far there are 3 hotkeys:
End turn.
Target enemy hero.
Clear deck.
The only problem is that currently it will only work fine for 1280x800 resolution.
Can you please advice what else should be added from your perspective?
i do like the idea of the "target enemy hero".... can't even remember how many times i've given myself a virtual hot-foot while playing a mage. I believe "end turn" might also be useful. I'd set that up on a mouse button, because lots of times I start thinking about '"whatever" & forget to hit it.

YuriyR It's possible to create an modest hotkey apps by programs like Autohotkey or AutoIt also offering features for any resolution.
Certain a lot of people can misunderstood this 'features' by calling it bot. For example: 'find on the screen the yellow/green switch and left-click this' but it's not the case since to construct bots you also needs AI to choose for you cards by situations and other things. So you can construct the script only for that purpose and expect no retaliation from Blizzard - but you really can't blame them.
I'd like to see ON SCREEN (like an addon): .Enable / Disable "Show a countdown to end each player's turn." .Enable / Disable "Show how many cards left on each player's deck."
AND something more advanced maybe like: .Save match's history with all that happened in board from the beginner until the bitter end. * could be amazing to study every turn you made and find a mistake. ** or even to consult here, decks used against you based on opponent cards. *** you can also take advantage by registering (real-time) every card used on board to forecast next draws.
Hmmm, why don't you just run a recorder during your match? I have OBS & use it sometimes (like when I just can't seem to get over a hump). It's a free program. Also, although I don't know of any software that specifically targets the opponent's cards, Hearthstone Tracker's latest version will keep track of what cards you have already drawn from your deck, and the same with the cards your opponent has played.
It also keeps a running probability count of two factors, which I have really not paid much attention to, since mathematical probabilities are something I was always allergic to in math class! :) I just pulled it up on my screen to read what it says again, and while it seems pretty straightforward in regard to the player (myself, for instance), I still don't really get what is says about the opponents card & deck probabilities.
Hearthstone Tracker is also a free program & keeps track of a lot of your stats concerning the games you've played and which decks are more successful against which classes, etc. Here's the link if you want to check it out https://github.com/Epix37/Hearthstone-Deck-Tracker/
It's pretty neat, since it gives you an overlay of the cards which you can keep sort of in the edge of your attention. On the right you have the complete card list of the deck you are playing, and when you play a card from your hand it changes the color of the text on the overlay, so you can easily see which cards you played & which ones are still there & could draw in the future.
On the opponent's side (left) it will build a card list of all the cards they have played & keep a running tab of the probabilities of card draw or inclusion that I mentioned before.
I'm probably not making myself real clear here & I feel tacky about inserting all this info into a thread about hotkeys, but you sounded like maybe you hadn't been exposed to these programs before & might enjoy using them.
Why try to tie a involved macro to a hot key, when there is an existing, pretty slick program that will give you what you want.

Yes, I checked for various tools before writing and seen pretty good apps that keep track of cards or can import a deck from file. Interesting thing is that it can't export existing deck probably because image recognition can be not so trivial.
But there was nothing that adds hotkeys. So I should focus on that.
I actually thought about searching by pixel colors. I remember that for some reason it didn't worked well for one of my other scripts. But I'll definitely play with it for some time. If it wouldn't work then all that needs to be done is just get coords for several common resolutions. Or write setup script which asks to make several clicks.
Anyway, I see by the poll that I'm not the only person who needs hotkeys. So I'll continue trying make it more universal for others to be able to use it. Because for me it is already working great =)

Wow! Totally missed it! This 'Hearthstone tracker' is exactly what i needed! Pretty awesome!! Thanks a lot.
Enough experiments with searching by colors. I will add simple utility that will help get coordinates in 10 min. So everyone can use hotkeys for any window size. I think I'll share it on Monday. And maybe make a video showing how it works and how to configure it.
Hello.
I really like playing Hearthstone. Just another great game from Blizzard. But the lack of hotkeys makes me feel a bit sad. Especially after StarCraft.
So I decided to make a small tool that adds some hotkeys. Like "space" for end of turn.
I was wondering maybe someone else in the Hearthstone community had the same feeling?

For all of you voted "Yes":

Configuration is easy. Please check readme file.
Shortcuts for "My Collection" would really be the minimum.
Especially from the company that made Starcraft.
It is very sad that "PAGE UP" and "PAGE DOWN" do not work in My Collection in PC version !
CTRL+F or F3 for "Search"
BACKSPACE for "Back"
CTRL+Z to undo a change in a deck
And as in Starcraft, make these customizable
Maybe emotes since they normally take two clicks so they'd be a priority.
