  In some games a macro is considered a 3rd party software, in this game it isn't really clarified in the Game Rules themselves. Some games consider macros as a bannable offence, while other games don't care too much for them. It really depends on the game you're playing and what that macro does to impact your gameplay.

  In the case of using it as an automatic struggle button (as an example), it's not really known if that's ok or not. I'm sure it was asked somewhere before, but I don't really know where that would be if it was said at all.

  Also, some players have issues with pressing a button repeatedly over and over, it's been an issue for some players for awhile now and I can understand WHY it's an issue if you suffer from a medical issue (for example). But besides all the reasons to WHY you'd use a macro, I still don't really know if it's ok or not.

  I'll try to dig deeper to get you an answer, but unless a Dev or Mod comes in than... I don't really know if I can find you one. The use of macros in this game is really niche anyways, so not many people ask or mention this to begin with (from what I've seen anyways).

  Thank you for the reply and your help around this topic, I totally agree with you.

  To speak again about the "wiggle" functionnality. I Wonder if the developpers have set up a speed limit for the inputs (as example, maybe pressing q+d every 0.001 seconds will not fill the wiggling jauge faster than pressing them every 0.75 seconds).

  If there are such mechanism, I think it could be authorized in the game. However, as you said, the best would be to get an official answer from a Dev or a Mod.

  First of all, thank you for your constructive answer (that I consider as a point of view and not as a fact like you warned me).

  I must to admit that i'm not confortable with the terms of "3dr party software" (in the deep meaning of the term), that's why I'm asking these questions in order to clarify if a macro natively enable in a keyword is considered as a 3rd party solution which falls under the hacks category.

  My main problem is that I don't know if a handicrafted keyboard macro is consider as a cheat. In one hand, it can avoid some human mistakes, making, as example, a wiggle the fastest possible (that's why I wonder it wouldn't be allowed), but in the other hand, this isn't impact the gameplay of the others players (if we compare that to the sadly infamous "flashlight macro" which can make the others players crash in-game).

  I really enjoy this game and the Community that makes it live. That's why I only want to use macros if this isn't consider as a cheat or an unfair playing style (even if this isn't consider as a bannable offense).

  I think it could be a good suggestion for Behavior to clarify this aspec in the Games Rules.
