Is there a way to configure things so that you can just tap a key to start walking/running, and then tap a key to stop?

the poster isn't looking for a way to toggle between running and walking, they are looking for a "start moving, whether it be in run mode or walk mode, and continue doing so until told to stop".

I'm not aware of SL having such an option.

One should be able to create an "simulate pressing the up arrow key and hold it down until told to stop" effect using the the program AutoIt.

It shouldn't be too hard to create a scripted object that you wear. It could listen for command liine commands, using some syntax you create. for example, you type

/1walk

and you start walking, and

/1stop

and you stop. It works by pushing you, or by figuring out which way you are facing, computing a spot a little infron of you, and then moving to there. Since you are attached to the object, you go along with it.

A project I once started (like a lot of my projects 8-( was to be able to type

/approach fred

or some such, and have my AV walk over to where the nearest person named fred is. Or

/follow fred
/kiss fred
/beside fred
/face fred
/infrontof fred

and have it do all those things...

Yeah, I was considering using AutoIt for this. I'd have done it already if I could figure out how to have AutoIt only capture the keystrokes while SL was in focus, hehe. I will probably still go this route. It's a bit simpler and less convoluted than using an object like Lee suggested -- a good suggestion, certainly, but the AutoIt solution will probably be a bit cleaner.
