Is having Autohotkey running for productivity purposes bannable?

Hi, this is my first post. TLDR: Whenever my computer is on, I always have AHK script with various macros running in the background for productivity purposes. Can I get banned for this?

For the past year or so, I've always had AHK running in the background anytime my computer is on. This script contains various macros I use as a computer science student to quickly program, and macros to navigate my computer efficiently such as ALT+Del to turn my computer off.

I was recently told having AHK even running can result in a ban. Since the day Apex launched, it has been my main game and I have committed much time(and some money) to it. That being said, I'd be devastated if I got banned one day out of nowhere. 

I have also read that AHK is EAC blacklisted though I can't seem to find a blacklist or whitelist for EAC. If it is, another question I have is why does it let me in the game if the script is running? 

If I could get an official statement on this topic, that would be great. Thanks!
