Does AHK can lead to Red Trust Factor?

Can Valve detect AutoHotKey?
Can I get VAC banned for it if I use it for Bhop or Recoil control?

Or can it lead to red trust factor?

no

If can lead to an overwatch ban, why are you looking to use external tools to gain an advantage over the other players?

I am not using it right now, but when I first installed this game I came across AHK & used it for a couple of days which lead to low TF. Nobody reported, because I was playing with my friends only.

I'v removed every of these external tools from my computer but the damage as been done already.
I was wondering if my tf is low because of AHK or not.

This is my smurf account, on my main prime account I never used anything else.
Now my concern is, why isn't valve taking any action against AHK, because I'm seeing players with 50hrs on their account spraying AK like they've been playing for 10000hrs.

That's because VAC can't detect AHK scripts, I'd guess.
Those players are very likely already shadow-banned anyway, just like you and your main account.. Valve prefers to keep them alive and running a little to gather some intel about what kind of softwares they do use.. Otherwise, I can't explain it.

What do you mean by Shadow Ban? Is it a real thing?

Meaning, the system has you in the queue of accounts that have yet to be banned, which does explain why're so many accounts not banned despite the fact that they've started to cheat, say, two years ago, and do use cheats even nowadays with the same account.

I have no other explanation as for why shall bans be delayed.
Surprisingly to me, which furthermore supports my assumption, the delay has been longer and longer with each passing day.
Back in the day, in 2016.. Cheaters were getting banned in the middle of the match, a few months afterwards. Nowadays, it takes VAC over two years to catch up to them, Overwatch is just a matter of time.
