*EDIT 5/5/3013*
AFTER SOME PATCHES AGO THIS DOES NOT WORK, THE ONLY THING THAT WORKS NOW IS MAKING THAT DIRECTORY, AND CHANGING THE ACTION MAPS!!!

Everyone always wonders about how to constant fire TAG. The whole editing the main profile does work, but can be a pain in the ***. So basically, instead of going the edit route which could get patched. I use a macro that is VERY EASY to use. Basically go here: http://www.autohotkey.com/ download and install autohotkey.
I'm going to be nice and put the actual script you need to run here.

Spoiler

#MaxThreadsPerHotkey, 2
looping = 0

$6::

keywait, 6

looping := !looping
if (!looping)
Return
loop
{ If (!looping)
Break
send, {6 down}
sleep, 0
}
Send, {6 up}
return

Basically open up notepad copy and paste the exact code into it. Save it as mwo.ahk then save as all files. Then just double click it and It will run. Basically then group your tag to Weapon-group 6 and whenever you press 6 It will automatically keep firing it. Then when you want it to stop, say you get out of game or want to type just press 6 again and It will stop auto-repeating.

Have fun and your welcome.

AHK is useful for so many things... haven't found too much a use for MWO though.

If "they" aren't ******** their pants about it I'd be glad to help design some scripts if the community wants them.

Also I just want to point out how many LRMS are wasted by people using TAG when there's no way they can hold it long enough for LRMs to hit.

Is there any way to set it so it doesn't type 6666666666666666666 into chat?

Why so cumbersome? Just bind weapon group 6 to a key that is far away from the others you are using (for example some key on the numpad if you're running WASD setup), make TAG a group 6 weapon and put something on the key that is heavy enough to hold it down. GG!

Use my script. It just sends the up and down messages once so it doesn't spam.

It's bound to tab (you can change that) and you'll have to press the tab button twice to start tag again if you open the map. I still have to fix that.

#NoEnv  ; Recommended for performance and compatibility with future AutoHotkey releases.
SendMode Input  ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and reliability.
SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir%  ; Ensures a consistent starting directory.

toggle := 0
Tab::
if(toggle){
   toggle := 0
   send {6 up}
} else {
   toggle := 1
   send {6 down}
}
return

Tag lasers work both ways. So you want to use it selectively.
