Auto Hot Key.

Does anyone know if Blizzard had a detection mechanism if you are merely using this program while playing WOW ? I want to use this program for some non-character controlling(non cheating) purposes eg chat functions/ notes. There are some legitimate purposes I have been just dying to use AHK for in WOW but I'm obviously pretty concerned about any actions Blizzard might take if it determines I am using an 'illegal' program. Is the mere use of AHK against the rules, and does Blizzard have anything in it's software to detect it ?

try using it on a F2P account?

Auto Hotkey isn't a real "bot". Well, it's pressing down keybinds automatically but doesn't inject anything into the WoW.exe

Which means the warden cannot detect it.

Therefore you can't be banned/suspended, except if a player reports you ^___^'

Thank you for your response. Your conclusion may be correct, but the logic you used to get there I'm sorry to say is not.
"doesn't inject anything into the WoW.exe
Which means the warden cannot detect it."
I know that it is possible for one program to detect which other programs and/or processes are running on your computer at the same time. So they wouldn't need you to inject anything into the WoW.exe to detect if you are running a particular program. What I don't know is if they put an AHK detection into it or not.
