- Ctrl+Alt+W to begin/execute script
- Choose Automatic or Manual mode (explanation below)

Automatic Mode: Automatic mode means the script is always looking for papyrus within range. Upon finding 1 or more, it will click them all immediately, non stop. You just worry about clicking the ground to keep running and the script will pick any papy it sees.
Manual Mode: This will not look nor pick papy unless you press the F1 key. But it will pick all the papy within range when you do press F1. After picking the papy, just run to the next patch and hit F1 again, repeat.
Pros and Cons to Automatic and Manual Mode:
While it would seem that Automatic mode is the easiest and least trouble, sometimes it is just the opposite. Lets say you come into range of a single papy, it will stop and pick it. But suppose there were 7 papy just a couple of coords out of range ahead. As you know with picking papy, even if you click ahead, your avatar frequently stops running when it stops to pick. So with that in mind, if you could prevent it from clicking that one single papy and wait until you were standing in the middle of the 7 papy and still in range of that 1 single one, clicking them all in one swipe would be better.
The first version of this script was actually only Automatic mode. But after quite a bit of runs, I found I was clicking more on the ground, to keep running to the next batch of papy (getting stopped by a single papy over and over). So I increased the range and added the Manual mode to see if I might like that better. Try both modes out, see which one you like the most.
Note on range:
It doesn't look too far ahead (north) of your position as this usually resulted in the "Too far away" message. But it has a longer range to the left and right of your avatar. It has a fair range behind the avatar too. But the range can be adjusted easily. Just see the notes inside the code.
This is rough visual estimation of the rectangle that it searches for papy as you are running.
Any papy within this imaginary rectangle will get clicked (via right click). This screenshot was taken at 1280x1024 resolution.
Video settings I am using:
Only Time of Day Lighting and Light Intensity should matter, all others, I doubt will affect the script
TIP: I was running Iggy's Gathering macro at the same time as this and it was able to handle gathering the slate and picking papy at the same time, without any misclicks. So if you're not in a hurry, kill two birds with one stone, and gather some slate while you're running down the river ;)
