[Request] Hide Keybind Strips

[OSean980]

I made this request for the Azurah addon, but maybe it would be better as an independent addon or part of some other addon such as Hide Elements. First, I'd like to know if it's even possible to do.

Originally Posted by OSean980 I recently saw a dialog window that did not have anything other than the text options, and realized that a large reason I dislike ESO's user interface is because I generally dislike the display of key prompts that float out beside an option without any good visual integration. Is it possible to hide all the keybind strips through the UI? For example, on a dialog window, it will say "[E] Accept [Alt] Decline". I would like to have the keybinds hidden, so only the options are present such as "Accept Decline". Also in the default quest tracker window, it displays "[T]" beside the quest title to cycle through quests. Without having to unbind the T key, which also affects the death recap window, I want to be able to hide that key prompt. Hiding the E prompt for "[E] Search" and "[E] Interact", and the F prompt for player interactions, would be ideal as well. I'm not sure how the top and bottom bars in UI screens such as inventory would function if the key prompts are hidden, so maybe provide a toggle for that specific case?

Not tested ingame:
I'm not going to build this addon, just had a quick look at the keybind strip source and it might be this function here you could overwrite it so the keybinding's text won't prefix the (E) etc.

Src file:
http://esodata.uesp.net/current/src/...ls.lua.html#60

function name:

ZO_Keybindings_GenerateKeyMarkup(name)

function ZO_Keybindings_GenerateKeyMarkup(name)
    return ("|u25%%:25%%:key:%s|u"):format(name)
end

Your function:

function my_ZO_Keybindings_GenerateKeyMarkup(name)
    return name
end
 
--My version of ZOs function.
if ZO_Keybindings_GenerateKeyMarkup ~= nil then
   ZO_Keybindings_GenerateKeyMarkup = my_ZO_Keybindings_GenerateKeyMarkup
end

But there is another function located here, which might needs to be altered:
http://esodata.uesp.net/current/src/...s.lua.html#162

It will build the keybind text by help of function

bindingText, key, mod1, mod2, mod3, mod4 = ZO_Keybindings_GetHighestPriorityBindingStringFromAction(actionName, KEYBIND_TEXT_OPTIONS_FULL_NAME, KEYBIND_TEXTURE_OPTIONS_EMBED_MARKUP, alwaysPreferGamepadMode)

function ZO_Keybindings_RegisterLabelForBindingUpdate(label, actionName, showUnbound, gamepadActionName, onChangedCallback, alwaysPreferGamepadMode)
    local function UpdateRegisteredKeybind()
        local bindingText, key, mod1, mod2, mod3, mod4
        if gamepadActionName and (alwaysPreferGamepadMode or IsInGamepadPreferredMode()) then
            bindingText, key, mod1, mod2, mod3, mod4 = ZO_Keybindings_GetHighestPriorityBindingStringFromAction(gamepadActionName, KEYBIND_TEXT_OPTIONS_FULL_NAME, KEYBIND_TEXTURE_OPTIONS_EMBED_MARKUP, alwaysPreferGamepadMode)
        end
        if not bindingText or #bindingText == 0 then
            bindingText, key, mod1, mod2, mod3, mod4 = ZO_Keybindings_GetHighestPriorityBindingStringFromAction(actionName, KEYBIND_TEXT_OPTIONS_FULL_NAME, KEYBIND_TEXTURE_OPTIONS_EMBED_MARKUP, alwaysPreferGamepadMode)
        end
        if showUnbound or showUnbound == nil then
            bindingText = bindingText or ZO_Keybindings_GenerateKeyMarkup(GetString(SI_ACTION_IS_NOT_BOUND))
        else
            label:SetHidden(bindingText == nil)
            bindingText = bindingText or ""
        end
        label:SetText(bindingText)
        if onChangedCallback then
            onChangedCallback(label, bindingText, key, mod1, mod2, mod3, mod4)
        end
    end

Not sure if this would need to be altered as well, and if there are other functions to consider.

Awesome. Thanks for digging to find all this Baertram.

Once I motivate myself to figure out how lua and zos api works, I'll make this modification. (Probably never going to happen )

If any kind addon author wants to take on this task from me before then, I would be very grateful.
