Votan's Keybinder Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 1.4.4

by: votan [More]

Dependencies

libAddonKeybinds

Info!
With update 35 ZOS confirms there is a limit of 100 for custom key bindings. Key binds, which differ from default, to be exact. This includes unbinding keys or shifting the column just because it looks better.
Once update 35 is out, take that hints seriously and restore as much standard key bindings as you can. For example controller keys, even if you do have a controller.
Keybinder allows you to exceed this limit with account-wide bindings, because once ZOS does not store them anymore, they get re-bound on every login.
Do not blame ZOS or me for lost key bindings, once you get that red hint.

Description
Adds checkboxes to keybind dialog for OS user account wide (not ESO account) shared keybindings.

In addition, since v1.2.0, a text search filter looking for:

Category
Sub-category
Action name
Localized action name

Technically ZOS is right, if they say keybindings are a per-character setting, because they can differ. But in consideration of the human factor most keybindings will not differ. I (and this addon) assume everybody has a prefered keyboard-layout, which is used across all characters. Only a few keys will be re-used for different, character specific addons. If you agree, this addon may something for you.

It is tested with and supports Emacs to use key-modifiers like ALT, STRG etc.
It is tested and works with libAddonKeybinds, which splits the list of keybindings into standard and addon.

First Load!
Upon first load all standard keybindings are marked as shared. Please verify it's how you want it.
Once you log to other character these keybindings will be taken over!

New Characters
Shared keybindings are used for new characters, too.

Bugs?
Please let me know.

After this I had about 90 keybinds. Still a lot, but most of them are still disabled keybinds. I also checked, that I have flagged every keybind for use with all chars. After this I was surprised that every char has a different number of keybinds. Some less than the main char, but some much more.

Question: How do I synchronize all the keybinds for all my chars ?

btw. I noticed that ESO doesn't distinguish between "I" and "Shift+I" or "->" and "CTRL+->". This limits my options for meaningful settings and also results in wrong behaviour. I opened a ticket because Shift+I shouldn't be the same as I. But as expected they saw that I have a lot of off addons and of course they are responsible for this. Do you think that addons can do keyboard translates or can be responsible for this ?

I don't know, if I got you right.
But what you can do is:
Disable Keybinder, reloadUI.
Reset to Default for Keyboard and Gamepad.
Go to Extensions and clear unused keybinds.
Enable Keybinder, reloadui.

All currently available keybinds will be refresh (re-)configured as if loading a new character for the first time.

You need the addon Emacs to allow key-combos.

Hi, I did this yesterday:

- I deactivated the Addon Keybinder
- then went from char to char and reset the standard bindings (keyboard and gamepad) as well as the addon bindings (keyboard and gamepad). The reset resultet for each char either in 1 or 2 individual bindings, but non had 0
- after logout and login with each char, they all had individial bindings again (range from 40 to 80)
- I reset the bindings as before but didn't check a third time
- then I changed the keybindings on one char to the one I wanted
- then I deleted the saved variables for the keybinder
- after all I activated the keybinder and went from char to char and each char has a different amount of individual bindings (60 - 80)

I'm getting crazy

Re: Wipe-Restore Mode?

Originally Posted by TechyShishy

So, I was playing around with some of the API functions for keybinding today, and I realized that the way you're doing keybinding in this addon, it might actually be feasible to implement a "wipe-restore" functionality on logout/login as a way to sort of get around the 100-keybind limit. Since the issues with >100 keybinds seem to be tied to logging into a character who already has 100 keybinds persisted on the server, at least as far as I can tell (please let me know if I'm wrong).

Obviously this would be a dangerous mode, worthy of a user-toggle, but I could see it basically wiping the entire keybinding list on defaults on logoff, and doing its current setup methods on login, which would restore them all.

If my understanding of why the 100 keybind limit breaks things is correct, this might be a way to "cheat the system" as a local keybinder for those of us who want very specific (and very complicated) keybinding setups.

If my understanding is wrong on the other hand, please feel free to ignore me.

This addon checks the keybind of each action currently available (addon is loaded) and marked as account-wide. If it does not match the stored keybind, the keybind is assigned (again). The keybind could not match, because the server did not persist it (100 limit) or because two add-ons, not loaded at the same time, use the same keybind.
If you use more than 100 keybinds and do not mark them as account-wide, you may loose those not being default anyway.
This add-on does a restore on login (if required) and does nothing on logout.

I, as a left-handed person, wrote this add-on to massively re-configure the keyboard layout for every single (new) character I have. Overcoming the limit is just a nice, unindended side-effect.

Emacs is just the name of the addon. Ayantir name style. All it does is setting a built-in variable to true to allow key-chords.
And yes, it is still working.

Not in the scope of this addon. But I have a look, no promise.

No, sorry. The quick wheel is calling a private function. Activating it by custom key binds causes security errors.

daimon Premium Member Forum posts: 13 File comments: 148 Uploads: 0	I was really struggling to find out what was crashing my game randomly, even on login screen. There were a few internal ZOS related UI error messages a few times and those gave me the idea that it might be a keybind related issue. No addon showed errors though. After you updated this it seems to be stable again. But yea.. it was a bit nasty to figure out as no error message indicated your addon directly. I hope people figure out to update if others are having the same issue. Thanks for the update. Last edited by daimon : 08/11/22 at 03:11 PM.

I log into each character and notice they are all changed. I now realize that it is this add-on messing with our key binds, because we all have different key binds, sometimes use the same computer and your add-on loads up automatically for each account that logs in. There are 7 ESO accounts in our family with 6 different key bind settings with 4 computers we share.

I missread the:
(Adds checkboxes to keybind dialog for OS user account wide (not ESO account) shared keybindings.)

Is there a way you can make it so we can turn off the computer wide key binds and make it ESO account wide key bind settings instead.

There are indeed two use-cases. Some have multiple accounts for themselves, others have multiple players and accounts within one OS account.

Find in Main.lua near the end of file:
addon.account = ZO_SavedVars:New("VotansKeybinder_Data", 1, nil, addon.accountDefaults, "Default", "$Machine", "$UserProfileWide")

And replace "$Machine" with nil.
addon.account = ZO_SavedVars:New("VotansKeybinder_Data", 1, nil, addon.accountDefaults, "Default", nil, "$UserProfileWide")

This should change it to ESO account wide. But you have to re-check the checkboxes.

Has this been verifed? I am having the same issue in my household.
