just checked in-game, and seems that all actions where you need to hold key down to feel the effect, is not enabled in macro (kind makes sence ;-)

so, cant use movement keys in macros ;-(

for myself, i move in a number of different ways.
The arrow keys, occasionally.
the End key, press to start running, then just steer. Great for travelling long distances through easy areas, (like Fyros :p )
find someone else travelling the same way, and activate "follow" on them, steering is then their problem :)
probably what I use most is the mouse, holding right button down for mouse-look then just adding the left button to start motoring along.

having Follow in a macro, available on a simple keypress, is one of the most convenient things I have done to the UI. That and the aggro watch-list :)

In surveying or combat, I would like to use the arror keys with my right hand for moment and when just traveling, use the W, S, A, and D keys with the mouse to just move and look around. I also use my thumb buttons on my mouse to move forward and backwards. It's mainly a convenience and not a show stopper per say, but that's what I mean about binding mutliple keys/mouse buttons to a single action, mainly movement.

if you want to change certain keys press K there i changed the movement keys myself to WASD to walk and did my action book to the spacebar and use the END button to run long distances or using the follow option

goodluck
