Creating a Macro
Search for, download, and install AutoHotKey.
Open Notepad, copy and paste the script posted below.
Save the file as .AHK
Run the AHK file you just saved (like it was a program), voila!

To stop the script, find the macro icon on your taskbar and close it. Easy Peasy.

Sick of smashing keys and "pReSs X tO nOt DiE" mechanics, plus my keys pop off randomly and it was driving me nuts. Now to wiggle left and right when carried just hold "Z", and to struggle while on the hook hold "Q".

Easily editable script, change to your own key preferences.

*Thanks to ThatOneGuy for making the macro only run during gameplay

Using third party apps may get you banned by the anti-cheat. Good luck with what you're doing, but the devs won't help you for getting banned for this.

@Cheee For Mouse4 you'd change the three lines that contain q and change it to, I believe - XButton1 or XButton2 - I'd test but I just have a generic poor man mouse.

yeah i would believe the people saying it is not bannable with proof over the people just saying it is without any proof

A Dev-Community Manager said that they do not actively ban for macros in this forum.

Nope, the DbD forums said macros are frowned upon but not catagorized as cheating. Sorry if their game mechanic breaks my keyboard, unless they wanna buy me a new one I’ll be macroing

Having an alternative to spamming wiggle or struggle should be considered from an accessibility standpoint. Disabled players should not be punished due to being unable to physically maintain the struggle at the required level.

this is definitely against the ToS so dont go crying on the forums afterwards for unban

honestly they should just remove the struggle mechanic and replace it with something like skillchecks
