We all only know what the
Play Nice Policies say, ie.:

5. You may not use third-party programs on Project 1999.
The use of any third-party programs on Project 1999, including but not limited to, Macroquest/Macroquest2(MQ/MQ2), ShowEQ(SEQ), or any other program that interacts with the Everquest Titanium Client, is strictly prohibited. Use of any third-party programs will be detected and will result in the permanent banning of your account(s). No exceptions will be made, and once a ban has been enacted for violation of this rule it will not be reversed.
This includes programmable keyboards or other devices that creates multiple inputs for a single keystroke or automated task.
Wineq2 by Lavishsoft is the exception to this rule. In addition, any program that strictly reads log files is acceptable.

is the only one that even
comes close to supporting your position. However, it doesn't, because it clearly doesn't cover programming a keyboard (or mouse) in a way that
doesn't involve creating multiple inputs. The only way it could is if keyboard(/mouse) software was considered "third-party" ... but the line I quoted strongly suggests that keyboard/mouse software isn't unless it meets that criteria.
Side note: As it happens, I'm responsible for that line being added to the PnP ... but in my defense, I did not propose that verbiage (and wasn't a fan of it). I was just happy to see something added to the PnP at all, so I didn't push back on the potential issues I saw with what GM Derubael wrote (I think it was him; this was years ago).
For the record, I think the standard should be "you can't program your input devices to do anything a normal mouse/keyboard can't otherwise do". But, the staff writes the rules, and as written the PnP doesn't explicitly prohibit what Zura has proposed.
