    I'd like to see auto-run adjusted so that only keydown events for forward, back, or the auto-run key would stop auto-run.

    Currently, the following event will stop auto-run, which reduces the usefulness of auto-run:
    1) left/right. This prevents you from moving diagonally while auto-running.
    2) releasing forward. This prevents you from smoothly transitioning into auto-run. For example, if you're being chased, you may want to transition without stopping momentarily from manually running forward (holding down forward key) to auto-running (pressing auto-run key, then releasing forward key).

    My old suggestion was to set the auto-jog toggle on the Caps Lock key and if we had the Caps Lock + holding down the Forward key we would sprint.
    Where if we want to break auto-run then we'd hit Caps Lock again.

    Unfortunately Richard vetoed any keys with Shift or Caps Lock since those are to be used for the Chat/Quest system. *sigh*
