Using AutoHotkey considered a hack? Will it get me banned?

I assume you are trying to rig the game to work properly with a gamepad? Can’t think of another reason as to why you would not want to use the mouse at all. I would not assume that A.Net “forgot” to implement k/b controls for look up/down either. They may not want people using gamepads at all. Technically, that could fall under the “create an unfair advantage over other players in any way” clause, but that is just a guess…
You’re wrong. I don’t have or intend to use a gamepad.
For me it is the fastest and most accurate way of playing with both hands attached to the keyboard, only moving the fingers and not the whole hand. Since the good, old days of DAOC I’m used to the NumPad for all moving action plus the right hand is in range of additional keys (e.g., targeting), more than even the Naga Hex will grant me.
The classic WASD-controls don’t fit for me, cause with them the left hand is blocked für movement instead of firing actions through 1/F1-x. Even when I adapt and switch my habit to the left hand for all the movement and the right for the actions by remapping all the F- and number-keys to the NumPad for example, this won’t work, because I can’t look up- and downwards unless I use the mouse …

For me AHK is a topic, because I’d like to play completely without a mouse.
Actually this isn’t possible, because Arenanet “forgot” to implement the option of looking up- or downwards through the keyboard (e.g., DAOC). Especially in WvW/PvP it is an essential function and so I’m forced to use/move the mouse. The only option to bypass this usability-horror (for me), seems so far by using AHK, and so I’m more than eager to know, if the use of AHK leads inevitably to a ban.
