GMS, is this 3rd party bannable?

Since the game does not provide me with a keybinding to toggle sprint on and off I made my own using AHK (autohotkey) and literally all it does is toggle shift on and off. Here is the script:
Source := "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz1234567890-=[];'\,./"
State = 0 ; variable used to toggle shift state

Loop, parse, Source
Hotkey $%A_LoopField%, PressKey
return

LShift::
if !State ; if state = 0
State++ ; sets state = 1 to turn on
else ; if state = 1
State-- ; sets state = 0 to turn off
return

PressKey:

if (State = 1 && InStr(Source,SubStr(A_ThisHotkey,2))) ; if toggle state on and key exists in source list
Send % "+" SubStr(A_ThisHotkey,2) ; send shifted key
else
Send % SubStr(A_ThisHotkey,2) ; send unshifted key
return


I know some scripts in AHK can get you banned because they provide automation, would you guys consider this automation or should I just accept the fact that I will need surgery in a few years on my left pinky because of this game?

    Did they remove the key binding for sprint? I would have sworn you could just remap it.

    He wants a toggle, not a press-and-hold keybind

    But the toggle won't do any good because you will run out of stamina and slow down.

    When horses run out of stamina they are like energizer bunnies, THEY JUST KEEP GOING AND GOING!

    Except on a horse were sprint is still oddly enough, infinite.

    Well I need to revise my script because that one does what I want but prevents other actions, regardless can I use a shift toggle or is that considered automation?

    If a horse keeps sprinting after their stamina runs down, then this sounds like a bug.

    It's not.

    And horses don't have a stamina bar.

    Horses have a combined health+stam bar.

    If you continue to sprint, your horse will be fast, but youll be at 0 health, thus 100% vulnerable to being knocked off. Even a lvl1 mudcrab could take down a VR10 in 1 hit.

    It's by design. Risk being knocked off easily for speed, or manage your bar.

    re: op - simple macros like that are fine.

    Why don't you just use the Num Lock key? It's the alternative run key.

    Horses keep sprinting because their stamina also effects how many hits they can take before you get knocked off. If they have 0 stamina you are falling on your butt when running through creeps.

    Technically it is against the TOS for ESO.

    I doubt they would ban you for it... but they could if they wanted to since it is a technical violation of the rules.

    Oddly enough doing the same thing using my Nostromo would not be, since it is a game controller, programmable or not.

    Just to chime in on horses: It is by design. We had this conversation with dev's during PTS and the response was that sprinting forever was by design. That you get slightly more speed out of your horse by tapping every few seconds for quick little bursts of speed and that holding sprint resulted in slightly slower sprinting, yet for longer periods of time.
