I want to know the community consensus and create a written rule on the use of AHK scripts to change inputs to the game. I don't have a numpad on my tenkeyless keyboard so I've rebound the number keys to their respective numpad buttons so I don't have to use the cursor to type codes. Similarly, speedycube and I use the resolution script on Tombaugh to gain higher fps and make the launch more consistent.
I wanted to know how people feel about, for example, mapping the 1,2,3, and 4 keys to numpad3, numpad5, numpad4, and numpad8, respectively, to make the first code a simple consistent movement instead of risking a mistake in typing the code.
Another area where remapping may benefit the player outside of hardware limitations is remapping the scroll wheel to the F key or jump function. This would allow frame perfect button and screen interactions in the 0g sections and frame perfect jumps on sections where that would be beneficial.
I personally feel like remapping and AHK scripts should be allowed only to overcome hardware limitations like having a slow computer or no number pad but shouldn't be allowed like in the example in the two former paragraphs. If you guys feel like it's okay then I'll use it but I figured this discussion would be better had before hand.
I don't see a problem with rebounding the keys.
With the script, for remapping to the codes, like one mapping for fesenkov, one for pearson etc. I'm on board.
Also for the scroll wheel instead of f and space bar, can you go into detail? are you that much percise instead of pressing the buttons, i never tried it ^^
With the resolution script, my opinion, y not? We are abusing the Game mechanics so y don't abuse another mechanic (even if the game doesn't really support the resolution speedy was using xD). Speedy also wrote under his video that this scripts are some kind of standard in minecraft speedrunning.
When i find the time i might write a guide for newcomers and also provide a file, if the mods give their approval.

I should have worded my post better. It's not so much that you can be more precise, but it just makes it easier to press buttons and grab items faster since you don't have to spam click a key. I just thought I'd ask since remapping keys can only be done with changing the inputs.ini file and can't be done in game for some reason.
And yeah, scripts and remapping is standard for portal 2 as well which is the game I have ran the most. I think a good rule is just not having one key do multiple inputs which is also a standard rule for most games.
