Auto-run, toggle F key? sticky keys

[Jack Schitt]

Anyone know what the game commands are for run/walk forward and 'use'? I'd like to make an autohotkey or C# script so I can double tap W to always run/move forward and only have to steer and when I'm mining by hand I'd like to double tap F to collect instead of holding it down the whole time.

I found a solution for this using autohotkey as I thought was possible. Here's an AHK script I found and edited to do most of what I wanted. Pressing numPad 1 continuously sends W in a loop until you press numPad 1 again or you can pause and restart it with the delete key:

Del::Pause 

W_WheelDown:
{
	SetKeyDelay, -1
	if( scrolledWheelDown )
		Send, {Blind}{w DownTemp}
	else
	{
		SetTimer, W_WheelDown, OFF
		Send, {Blind}{w UP}
	}
return
}

NumPad0::
{
	scrolledWheelDown := ( scrolledWheelDown ? 0 : 1 )
	SetTimer, W_WheelDown, 40
return
}

My reason for wanting this is I use wireless keyboard and mouse (trackballs comparable to m570s) and I'm sometimes over 10 -20 feet away from large screens. My concern is battery life as well as it's not much fun holding a single key down for 20 minutes to an hour or more when we have to manually run or fly or drive somewhere.

For flying in gravity, put your front thrusters in a separate group you can turn on and off with the hot bar. Then when you get the speed and bearing you want, turn the front off letting the down, side, and forward thrusters stay on with the dampeners. You can "cruise' that way.

Depending on the keyboard make and model, you might have some scripting or macro functions that come with the software.

That's a way of doing it but a lot of steps and complicated. This is 2 buttons. Press once, active. Press again, inactive. Easy peasy :)
