Here's a really good guideline when dealing with keyboards/software that do these kinds of functions.

Simply ask yourself, "Is this playing the game for me in any way, or am I still having to control my character and perform actions to complete the task I'm using the program to help me complete?" If the answer is "yes, it's playing the game for me" then it's not something you should be using here on Project 1999. If the answer is "no" it's probably safe.

This method applies to just about any third party program out there - SEQ (The program discovers mob/player locations for me), MQ2 (The program plays my character for me), other cheats/offsets (The program warps my character for me).

Clearly some of these are obvious, while others might be more unclear:

The new log mapping programs are legitimate because they aren't collecting information for you - they are simply displaying a map of the zone that you may very well already have in your head. Another good example is sound triggers - triggers that alert you with a noise are ok, but anything that automatically attacks a target that you were waiting to spawn would be off-limits, since it's automating a task (getting FTE).

So ALL of that being said, in regards to your particular question, the use of your keyboard in the way you are describing should be legitimate. If my understanding is correct (and obviously, correct me if I'm wrong) you are simply mapping one key to do several things at once? IE, /cast 1 /stopsong /cast 2 /stopsong etc. This is considered OK, as it is essentially the in-game "Macro" functionality already built into the client. Here is an example of something that would not be ok:

/target mob001
/doablity 1 (where 1= root)
/pause 5
/doability 2 (where 2 = nuke)
loop*1000

Since this is playing the game for you, it would not be allowed. Leaving a forage or trade-skill macro on and going AFK would not be allowed. Follow this guidelines and you should be fine.
