Multi-function, zero-advantage macro?

I want to create a macro that hides the HUD, screencaps via sweetFX, and shows the HUD again. I’m pretty sure I could do it via my mouse’s official software easily enough, but I’m finding the official word on this subject a bit confusing. On the one hand:

“Does this program allow someone to play faster, better, longer, or more accurately than someone who doesn’t use it?”
-nope

“Does this program allow someone to ‘play’ when he/she is not at the computer?”
-nope

“Does this program allow the user to gain undeserved rewards?”
-nope

Clearly this function is without any impact on gameplay itself, mine or anyone’s. It’s solely a convenience, so I can be in the middle of something awesome and go ‘click’ instead of ‘taptaptap-tap-taptaptap’. However, it would need to press ctrl-shift-h, printscreen, ctrl-shift-h, and accomplish two or three things depending on whether the game pays attention to sweetFX’s screenshot or just the show/hide HUD commands.

So I guess I need to know if ‘You may not program a single key to perform multiple functions.’ applies to any function a key can possibly have in the game, or only ones that have an effect on playing?

I believe I answered this today in a support ticket. Thanks for your patience while I was away.
