I was thinking...(yeah it is a miracle)
When you are ratting or running mission everytime you need to fire on a new target you need to press each gun shotcut, one by one.
When you have like...30 rats over you, this is simply boring. Can the devs demi-gods plz create a "fire all weapons" button? Likem you right click on one of your weapons and on the menu apear a button like "fire all weapons on the choosen target".
Simple and effective.
Please

Is it expensive?
By the way...why everyone has to buy a new keyboard when ccp could simply add a new button to right click menu?

Well...tried to use autohotkey...but i failed completely to create a hotkey sequence (scripts doesnt like me). only managed to change one hotkey for the other.
Therefore...tried a different "sollution"
I set the following keys to fire my highslots (in sequence)
alt+z + alt+a + alt+x + alt+s + alt+c + alt+d + alt+q + alt+w
try it on your keyboard, is faster than pressin f1 to f8

Cant you paste the script for autohotkey to set a single key to press f1 to f8 at the same time?
Talking about it...someone said macro...autokey is illegal?

Well, just sent them a petition asking about the program and because it helps only about hotkeys if we can use it. Also said that I didnt had the real opportuniy to use it (I really dont, just tested outside the station without shooting).
Lets see what they have to say about it.

Rules are supposed to be flexibe, well at least this is one of the ways of thinking on the study of law. If the ccp devs are legalists, people who use autohotkey will be **cked up.
But if the stop to analise and comprehend that this program only helps to bypass a lack of EVE, they will allow its use like they allowed Teamspeak before.

I didnt knew also...I was just thinking..."man this program is sooooooo cool, isnt it supposed to be forbidden?"
What I knew...automation softwares that allow the player to leave the game running while he do something else...this ones I knew for sure that where forbidden.
Other prograns that give a small hand..well...i didnt knew that this ones are also forbidden...since teamspeak are allowed...and they help the game playability as well...

I received the following aswer in my e-mail today...
"Petition: Autohotkey third party program
You can follow up on your petition on:

Hi,
I don't see any problem with you using autohotkey to speed up or
organise your button presses in the game. It still requires you to be at the
keyboard pressing keys to active the button presses.
Best Regards,

Hy, I was looking for a legal way of speed up my hotkeys in the
game...on the forum people told me about the autohotkey program and got amazed
on how it could help me.
Dunno how to really use the program, still learning, but before I try
it in game I would like to know if a program used only to set my hotkeys
in the way that I like is forbidden or not.
I know it is technically a third party, but I am still playing, still
at the front of the pc and so on.
Finnaly, well...thats it...I would like to know if the program is
forbidden or if I can use it.
Thanks in advance.
(plz dont ban me for trying it for 3 minutes before thinking..."hey, is
it illegal?" and sending you guys this petition)"

I just pasted the aswer from my petition here, I didn¦t change anything. I am pretty safe now that this specific program is allowed. Posted it here basicaly to help other players who said here that use it and were afraid of being banned.
Use it or not, is your choice. But dont question my honesty, plz.

You have a point, my apologies...
But if you really want a proff, I can take a screenshoot of my mail box with the e-mail if you want.

Well, so far, I got the ok to use the software. Of course, it is the opinion of one GM, which legaly speak in the name of CCP when aswering petitions.
CCP can still ban me (simply because they have the power to do it) if they see me using autohotkey (I didnt had time to use it yet), but I have the e-mail to say "hey, you guys allowed me" and since we got no official response from any gm¦s, moderators, and dev¦s in this topic. I stay with my aswer.
Just in case, I recommend t everyone who wants to use the program as well to petition asking and explaining why it should be allowed; from that we got two consequences.
-After so many requests they will probably make an official statement about the matter.
-Maybe they change the hotkey system to make not necessary to use prograns like autohotkey.
