What do you use to control the game?
Keyboard scroll minimap, tacmap?
Only Cursor + grid Hotkeys?
or Classical hotkeys?

I control the camera with a pair of Dk Bongos while using gridkeys on a dvorak keyboard.

I use grid hotkeys and use Autohotkey to bind the tacmap to one of my mouse's side buttons. I use cursor on the edge of the screen to move it mostly. Though I should probably try scrollwheel panning.

If...if...We didn't love freedom enough...We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”― Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn , The Gulag Archipelago 1918–1956

wasd autohotkey script + grid keys + tacmap bound to mouse button all the way. i use shift to disable the script when pressed to be able to use both wasd camera movement and grid keys at the same time. took a while to get used to but i haven't looked back ever since.

One of my people although i basically just moved the WASD keys to the side rather than a disable command.
My controls weren't working
And if they were, you were playing dishonorably,
And if you weren't, you were playing without skill,
And if you were, it's not fun to play that way,
And if it is, you only care about winning.

I don't use the tact map, instead I find myself clicking the squad portraits on the top right to jump to a specific unit or reinforce. Jumping to the retreat point (ambulance) to reinforce everything in the area is something I frequently do. Use F1-F4 hotkeys to build units is a lifesaver too. Brits get F4 for Forward Assembly and OKW get F2 for medic truck which is awesome. I wish I could bind my Ambu to F6 or something.
I have map scroll speed set to very high, something I brought over from when I played Starcraft 2. That way you don't have to move your mouse to the edges as much. For small map adjustments, I use MMB to readjust.
I use default hotkeys too since I'm used to T retreat and R to reinforce. Never got used to grid hotkeys in SC2. I used default hotkeys in Dawn of War 2 too.

I didn't know you could adjust edge scrolling speed! Nice. Here's an interesting thing to note: if you give a squad a control group, when you double press the number you will center your camera on them. Just something I thought you might not know.

you could hold ctrl and press 3, then you would make the ambulance control group 3, then whenever you double-tap 3 you will center on the ambulance. For squads when you give them a control group you will automatically select them when you press the number.
I give my engineers the 2 control group. When I pull a damaged vehicle from the frontline I can just hit 2 and then the vehicle and the engineers will go to repair without me even having to see them on the screen.
Oh and also if you click a squad while holding ctrl you will select all squads of the same type. If you hold shift you will add squads to the selection. (I.e. you could bind a grenadier and a panzergrenadier to control group 1 without them having to be next to each other.)

Great tips!
I usually use all my command groups from 1 to 0.
1 - 2 :: Tanks
3 - 4 :: Infantry
5 :: ATG
6 :: Repair squads (REs or Engis)
7 - 0 :: Artillery or indirect
I find double clicking the ambulance faster than reaching over to 0 for it, just IMO though.
You can also use tab to scroll through the units in your selection or simply by clicking them in the middle-bottom. Helps to retreat a single squad.
Shift clicking the squad will remove it from the selection too. Useful if you have one damage squad in a selection. Click damage squad to move to ambu, shift click it out of the group.
