Guild Wars 2

I’ve set one of my mouse buttons to toggle right click on and off. I click it and it acts as if the right mouse button is held down until I click it again or press the actual right button.

I know Anets rule on macros is “1:1 keybindings only and nothing that gives you an advantage” but I’m not quite sure how that applies here.

I suppose you could argue that it’s not a 1:1 binding because the button stays ‘held’ even when I’m not touching it, but that’s all it does. It allows me to move the camera whilst holding the mouse lightly instead of tensing my hand to hold the button down, and to run by pressing just the left mouse button (or W/up arrow). (The plan being that not having to hold the button down will reduce strain on my hand and make long play sessions less painful.)

I still have to have my hand on the mouse to actually move the camera, or to move my character and I can’t actually click anything while this is activated, I have to manually turn it off if I want to select an enemy or a skill or whatever.

So I think it should be fine, but I’d appreciate some other opinions because it’s not worth risking a ban over.

dude, that is one modification I’d like to have myself. what if you set right-click to be the toggle right-click?
I hold right-click down so much it would actually be easier to have it: “always aim my dude in the direction of the mouse, except when left-click is held.”

I did originally think about setting the actual right button to toggle but there’s times when I want to just right click on things too. Since I had a spare button I thought this made more sense.

There’s already a mod out there that essentially automatically holds down your RMB when in combat. I don’t use it, so I don’t know the specifics or all the other fancy stuff that it does, but since I know people who use it and haven’t been banned yet, I think you’d be fine with that keybinding.

That’s good to know.

Mine is mainly for out of combat use. I got the idea yesterday when I was doing jumping puzzles and found my hand getting sore from holding the button down, but if anything I would have thought Anet would be more concerned about what you do in combat so hopefully they should be ok with this.
