My HotkeyNet tutorial video series is well underway. I'm really enjoying making these videos and I hope the community gets some use out of them. Rather than spamming with a bunch of small videos I've created a playlist which I will link here:

I hope you all check back every once in a while for updates. Enjoy! :)

I've been using HotkeyNet for a while without really understanding what each section of code does. Your tutorials help paint a picture, so thanks again!

Bit of a random question: during a LaunchAndRename command, would it be alright to have HotkeyNet log you into WoW as well? Having your password in a notepad document doesn't sound like a safe idea though.

Storing your password in plain text is never recommended, and having software automatically do something for you, not matter how big or small, is considered to be automation.

Are you going to get in trouble for doing it? Highly unlikely. Do we recommend that you, or others, partake in it? No. Can you do what you want? Yes.

It is indeed possible. I used to have a script which included it but what MiRai said is correct. I also seem to remember it was a pain in the arse to get working right and didn't always work 100%. I think I settled on sending all keys to all clients during login (I don't usually play with all keys sending just select keys) so I only had to type my password once.
