Jump Macro?

I've been testing out SuperJump on a character and so far I like the power but I find it kind of annoying that I have to continually tap the spacebar. In CoH I used a macro for SJ that would cause a character to jump over and over again until either the macro button or the spacebar was pressed again. Does Champions have anything like that? I've searched but can't seem to find out one way or the other.

    There is nothing built in to CO to do what you want. You can use an outside program (like AutoHotkey), however.

    That's disappointing. Ah well, thanks for the info.

    No offense, but those limitations are built in on purpose. To use a program to circumvent them is kinda like cheating. If you want a travel power where you don't have to do anything, just take flight and use autorun...

    No offense taken, though I think it's a bit of a stretch to call it cheating.
    I just like having a travel power that doesn't require near-constant key pressing to use. The reason I asked was because of my experiences in CoH, which though it is no longer a Cryptic product was originally made by them. What I described I was looking for is exactly how Cryptic did code things over there. Hence the reason for my question.

    It's just a convenience thing, not a deal breaker for me by any means.

    You shouldn't have to hit the space bar repeatedly, holding it down should be sufficient. ...like in CoH/CoV.

    Hahah, yeah, can you imagine someone trying to 'bot' with Superjump as their means of getting around? LoL. I mean, it's probably just as feasible as any other travel power, but it just doesn't seem like it, and I'm almost positive swinging would be near impossible, unless you used /location commands and did a lot of correction programming that parsed log files for locations, but with the amount of programming you'd do, it wouldn't be much like cheating, it'd be creating artificial intelligence.

    However, botting to farm something doesn't often require moving, and certainly not at travel power pace, walking would suffice, so the travel power is inconsequential.
