No.
Simplest work around: Put hasten on auto, then bind w "+forward$$powexecname accelrate metabolism"
Where to now?

Nice idea.
I had my 1 and 2 keys macro'd once to do this:
/bind 1 powexec_slot 1$$powexec_auto Hasten
/bind 2 powexec_slot 2$$powexec_auto Accelerate Metabolism
with the idea it would fire them both off as I button mashed in combat. And 2-1-1 or 1-2-2 would turn them both off in Wentworths.

Turn them off? Those are both click powers, right? I wasn't aware you could 'turn off' a click power.|

Although I suppose the new 'walk' power might turn them off? I should try that out...

I remember I used to have Hasten bound to W, A and Spacebar and Domination bound to S, D and R (autorun) on my old Mind/Ice permadom
Me likey!
More for my /SD and /SR guys for Hasten and click mez protection. My one perma dom will be adopting this too.

DrMike2000 doesn't really mean turning off the click power. More accurately, it would turn off the Auto-fire on the click power.|

Also, using the autofire function instead of directly activating the power means that you wouldn't get the annoying "power not recharged" sound every time you moved forward.

tbh, I don't like binding forward (or any direction key) to use a power. More than once I've had the following scenario:
Positioning myself in the center of a mob
Queued up a nuke
Final adjust to position or getting ready to retreat
the "auto cast" power that has been binded to my positioning key replaces my queue'ed up nuke.
Me wondering what happened to my nuke as I wax the floor with my face =/
I bind my "auto cast" power to my tab key.
/bind "tab" "target_enemy_next$$powexec_name <name>"
I also use the "ctrl+tab" to get an extra auto cast
/bind "ctrl+tab" "target_enemy_near$$powexec_name <name>"

Yeah, I just tried this one. It does get a bit annoying seeing "recharging" float out of your head every time you hit W

Stay Gold, Paragon. Stay Gold.
Nolite te bastardes carborundorum.
TL;DR/Goal: To have Hasten and Accelerated Metabolism on auto-cast, with no concern about manually casting either one.
I have virtually-perma-hasten on my rad controller. The catch is, while I have Hasten on auto-cast, I have to *remember* to refresh AM manually, or vice-versa.
Are you able to auto-cast macros? Or is there a work-around to let you have two (2) powers on auto-cast at the same time?
I am dreading I know the answer to this already, but one can hope
Thanks in advance
