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

Version: 1.4.5

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.

I have not had any problems in my environment and this add-on has not been updated recently.
I thought your keybindings were broken by other add-on.

Technically, there is no such thing as a unique ID number to identify an add-on.
There is only the string of the add-on name.
The index of the action layer is not unique either.
This add-on save data structure makes a lot of sense. You are completely missing the point.

Hi votan, I've been dealing with the same issue, it's been vexing, but I think I found something that might be able to help you patch it. In a specific example, I have Ulrich's Skill Point Finder and Beam Me Up installed, which appear immediately next to each other in the addon keybinds menu list.

Ulrich's has only one keybind, which I bound to "B". However, after setting up my keybinds (after fully reinstalling Votan Keybinder) and moving to a new character to load it, it unbound pretty much everything, but notably, it moved the "B" keybind to the next item on the list, which was the first keybind for Beam Me Up. Now, when I disabled Beam Me Up, it automatically MOVED the "B" keybind to what became the next add on the list after Ulrich's. So I'm thinking that the bug is some sort of indexing or offset error, where the process of saving keybinds and loading them are not in alignment.

Hope this report helps! I really would like this add on to work so I can play my alts, and at least be able to use Alpha Gear for trifecta raids.

Can you show me how your Controls binding menu looks like?

QuantumFate Forum posts: 0 File comments: 3 Uploads: 1	My keybinds across all my characters endup randomized Hey! I tried many of the previous solutions to setup my kebinds proberly but everytime I set things up I have random actions bound on my keys that I setup to be global. One quick question: Is it not advised to have every possible keybind checked to be global? I tried so many different things. Uninstalling the addon, resetting my keybinds, etc. but I always end up in the same exact scenario. It's probably worth mentioning that I use the DVORAK keyboard layout so I already have some keybinds to imitate the QWERTY way to play the game. (Keys W, A, S, D from QWERTY movement translate to <, A, O, E in DVORAK). My basic keybindings for ingame functionality are always fine but most of the time addon-specific binds end up all over the place.

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.
