Bard kiting/strafing keystrokes question

[DBStrong]

Without being at home to experiment with these suggestions (downtime at work = forum time) I think I have tried similar approaches without yielding success.
Using the R or T is somewhat akin to the double-tap of the enter key, correct. I'm fairly sure I've tried just about every iteration of similar keystrokes without working properly, or at least the way I 'intend' for it to work.
Also, once auto-run is engaged, the moment I hit another key, it 'takes over' and will strafe- as long as I hold it down, but will disengage as soon as I release it. The whole idea is to lock-in auto-strafe.

I appreciate the help, and I'll certainly try each of these once I'm at my game comp, but I believe the answer is still out there somewhere...
Thanks for such quick replies
