Default Rebinding with AutoHotkey considered cheating?

Hello,

I'm a returning EverQuest player and I have a question about using the program AutoHotkey to play EverQuest. This program has a wide range of features that allow you to rebind keys on the keyboard, rebind keys to the mouse, and execute strings of keyboard strokes according to predefined patterns.

Because AutoHotkey is so powerful, it has the potential to allow 'cheating' or 'botting' through written scripts that detect what is on the screen before executing a keystroke. However, my intent is not so malicious: I would simply like to rebind mouse movements to the keyboard. I hear that if you don't use the mouse, it is actually healthier for the hand, so I thought it would be something to try for a more positive play experience. I was also considering rebinding some EverQuest functions to keystrokes near the 'home key' region.

In light of this, are we allowed to rebind keys and mouse functions with AutoHotkey at all? Or is the use of AutoHotkey forbidden?
