Is this cheating: Using chess.com keyboard extension AND autohotkey

On this thread a moderator already said it's okay to use the keyboard extension. (I think it should be an actual feature of this site but that's just my opinion.) But what if I use autohotkey to rebind keys so my hand wouldn't fly around the keyboard to type in moves. Is that okay? Like instead of typing Ngh7, it's more like Cqw7.

Edit: Support team said yes.

I think that was no mere mod.

LOL my bad. 😅

Honestly, the more I think about this, the more I think about accessibility. Like chess for blind people. Maybe I'm being too ambitious.
