hello, i want to know if this is posssible to AHK (Auto HotKey) the keys to do the jump trick when you press all 4 directions in sans battle. i mean, as i'm on my laptop, the keyboard doesn't count more that 3 presses for the directional buttons, instead of the others keyboards, which you can press the 4. so i made a AHK program that allow to do that, if i press right+down+left it press up for me. if it doesn't allowed, i can do the normal path but it's harder :/ (if you want i can send the program i wrote) and sorry for bad english :^)

Making any kind of script for a speedrun is banned (unless the rules for a certain game state that you can make one).

So no, it wouldn’t be allowed for this run.

If your laptop has a numpad, you can use the directional buttons on there while num lock is off.

As far as I know you are allowed to rebind your WASD keys to arrow keys, so you could do that for the sans battle.

Macros are not allowed. Rebinding the arrow keys to the WASD keys is allowed. Any other form of key rebinding is not allowed.

Let's also use turbo scrips to get perfect textmashing, eh?

can i macro a 9 turn pls

No but a serious answer, if you bind WASD to movement in Undertale (which is allowed) you should be able to get past the ghost-rollover that a lot of keyboards have built in, since it's usually 4 for letter keys and 2 for arrow keys. If not that, then you could hold W and A with one hand and right + down with another hand. I know it's not ideal, but it's at least something, and I had to do this on my old laptop.
