How to signal on the minimap in Starcraft 2?

Nothing to add to the title of the question.


2 Ways:

  • Alt+G, then click (can be changed to a different key in the keybindings)
  • Ctrl+Alt+Click (can be changed to a different key in the keybindings)
  • Click on the ping icon next to the minimap, then click.

The clicking can be done either in the game window, or on the minimap.


The Keybindings can be found under:

Menu->Options->HotKeys->Global->Unit Management

And either:

  • Ping Minimap
  • Quick Ping
  • Choose Ping Target

Also, you can click directly at the game window, no need to go to the minimap (even though the keybinding says "Ping Minimap"


Two ways:

Click the Ping icon (looks like radio waves, sorta like ((•)) ), then click anywhere in the minimap.

Press Alt+G on the keyboard, then click anywhere in the minimap.


1) You can hold alt and click on the minimap.

2) Hold alt + g and click on the map.


You can modify the keybindings in the menu - for example, I changed my ping back to ALT + Left-Click.

Patch 1.5 also modified the behavior so that you could ping your minimap by ping-clicking on the actual playfield you're looking at. Thus you no longer have to mouse down to the minimap, find your current view location, and then ping - you can simply ping-click the main playfield in front of you and the ping appears on their minimap at the correct location.
