Auto-run

A dedicated key to make the player continuously walk in one direction. This would make using inventory on the go a lot more convenient, and could let a player not have to use their keyboard all the time when travelling for long distances. The player would be able to dedicate a key to toggle autorun, and if the user makes any manual movement it would cancel the autorun. This already exists in Fortnite, and is great for convenience of play.

    BIG plus ones to this. I literally have to take days off of playing minecraft in between play sessions because my middle finger becomes swollen from continuously pressing W.

    In WoW I have a mouse button bound and it makes playing games much less painful.

    +1 for auto-run in general, but I would also love for this to work while boating again too!

    We used to be able to "auto-run" while boating and it was glorious, but then it was stomped out like a bug and not appreciated for the beautiful feature it was. :(

    One of my favorite activities is exploring oceans. Auto run would make this so much easier.

    As an explorer type player, I deeply long for auto-run. There used to be a "bug" where you could kind of auto-run if you opened your inventory while moving forward in a boat and that was gd glorious. I did most of my exploring by boat during that time because it was so much more pleasant. Please give us auto-run!

    No joke... my doctor says that I'm developing arthritis in my middle finger and the only thing I can think of that would cause it is pressing and holding on W in Minecraft... It's the only game I've played for years.

    You can also set up macro's to auto walk. It will be exactly the same as holding down the W key on a keyboard. For logitech software you can select macro->toggle->record keystroke-press w-stop recording keystrokes->press the 2nd recorded input which is the release of the w key->press delete->save.
