    *edit* multiple edits throughout. Rather then replying to myself, it seemed more precise to clarify my response"

    The addition of logic (and/or, true/false, if/then) sounds exactly like prohibited automation to me. But if the addons are doing it all within the Blizzard provided API, that should be OK. If for some reason Blizz doesn't like that, they'd change the API.

    ... You can even do 2 actions from a single keystroke as you can legally trigger action on key press and then the second one on key release and it isn't automation...
    I don't think the above is accurate. I've always thought Blizz was clear that the rule was 1 action per 'keystroke', and that keystroke included both the 'keydown' event AND the 'keyup' event.

    Basically, im wondering if using Keyclone to send the same signal to multiple clients with one keypress is acceptable.

    Im looking for a solid yes or no answer here

    Yup, keyclone is fine.

    Just make absolutely certain that you’re not making more than one keypress (for the purposes of the word ‘keypress’ this includes a single key press AND release with no delays), or including delays between key-presses with each action.

    Essentially, if you could legally create the command as a functional macro within the default user interface, then it should be okay.

    We're talking about an addon, which has a security system that WoW can enforce. See https://wow.gamepedia.com/Secure_Execution_and_Tainting

    The "per keystroke" thing is a rule for external programs that WoW cannot internally enforce.
