Aenathel's Keybinds Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 1.10.1

by: Aenathel [More]

This add-on adds 30+ new keybinds that allow you to do more without reaching for the mouse.

I would have liked to make it possible to keybind almost everything in the UI, but ESO unfortunately has a shadow limit on the number of defined keybindings. After the limit is hit, new keybinds will not be saved, so I'm trying to limit keybinds to the ones I deem essential.

Dependencies
The following dependencies are needed for the add-on to work:

LibAddonMenu-2.0
LibChatMessage

Although not a dependency, I highly recommend Votan's Keybinder so you don't have to repeat the keybinds on all your characters.

Dealing with existing keybinds
This add-on allows you to use Ctrl/Alt/Shift/Command in bindings, for example Ctrl+B to open your inventory.

In order to fully utilize this, you will probably want to bind Crouch (Ctrl) and/or Character Windows (Alt) to something else.

I personally bound Crouch to C and Character to Ctrl-C and unbound Character Windows (since ESC closes them and I have specific keybinds to open the character windows I use), but it's ultimately up to you.

The keybinds
The keybinds are divided into four categories: Chat, Game Menu, Miscellaneous, and Tabs.

Chat
The first chat keybind allows you to toggle the chat window.

The rest of the chat keybinds allow you to write to a chat channel without typing /p etc. first.

This is useful if you're in a group, but need to fire off a quick message to your favorite guild.

The following channels are supported:

Group
Guild 1
Guild 2
Guild 3
Guild 4
Guild 5
Zone

Game Menu keybinds
The game menu keybinds allow you to open the add-on settings and keybindings menus.

Additionally, if you have libAddonKeybinds, the keybindings keybind will toggle between standard and add-on keybinds.

Miscellaneous keybinds
These keybinds are for odds and ends that don't fit in any other category.

First, there is a keybind to travel to your primary house.

Second, there is a keybind to focus the primary search box, if there is one, in the current view.

The following view's primary search boxes are supported:

Collections > Collectibles
Collections > Outfit Styles
Friends > Friends
Guilds > Guild Roster
Help > Tutorials
Main Menu > Settings > Addons
Outfit Station > Equipment
Outfit Station > Costume and Hat
Quest Journal > Achievements

Additional primary search boxes are supported for the following add-ons:

AwesomeGuildStore
- Guilds > Guild Trader (Traders)
- Guilds > Guild Trader (Guilds)
Circonians Addon Selector
- Main Menu > Addons
LoreBooks
- Quest Journal > Lore Library
Votan's Keybinder
- Main Menu > Controls
Votan's Search Box
- Bank > Withdraw
- Bank > Deposit
- Crafting > Blacksmithing > Deconstruction
- Crafting > Blacksmithing > Improvement
- Crafting > Clothing > Deconstruction
- Crafting > Clothing > Improvement
- Crafting > Jewelry Crafting > Deconstruction
- Crafting > Jewelry Crafting > Improvement
- Crafting > Woodworking > Deconstruction
- Crafting > Woodworking > Improvement
- Fence > Sell
- Fence > Launder
- Guild Bank > Withdraw
- Guild Bank > Deposit
- Guilds > History
- House Bank > Withdraw
- House Bank > Deposit
- Inventory > Items
- Inventory > Craft Bag
- Inventory > Quickslots
- Mail > Send
- Store (Merchant) > Buy
- Store (Merchant) > Sell
- Trading House (Guild Store) > Browse
- Trading House (Guild Store) > Sell
- Trading House (Guild Store) > Listings

Tabs keybinds
The tabs keybinds allow you to open essential tabs directly and also provides a way to switch to the next/previous tab/subtab where possible.

The following tabs can be toggled specifically using keybinds:

Collections > Sets
Group > Group
Group > Endeavors
Group > Dungeon Finder
Group > Battlegrounds
Guilds > Home
Guilds > Roster
Inventory > Items
Inventory > Craft Items
Inventory > Currency
Quest Journal > Quests
Quest Journal > Antiquities
Quest Journal > Achievements
Map > Quests
Map > Locations

Additionally, the following special tab behaviors are supported:

Champion points menu: Switch between constellations

Feature wish list
Things I want to make work if I can:

Breaking the keybinds up into modules that can be enabled/disabled
Switching items in vertical lists (for example quests in the quest journal)
Travel to favorite house (for example guild house)

Known issues
If you have many add-ons that define a lot of keybindings, you might hit keybindings shadow limit imposed by the ESO client. If your keybinds stop saving, you have hit the shadow limit.

I plan to break up the keybinds into separate modules that you'll be able to disable if you don't use any of their keybinds.

Additionally, I'm aware of the following issues that I, unfortunately, cannot do anything about currently:

Focus primary search box doesn't work in Guild Store > Browse with AwesomeGuildStore, as I cannot reliably look up the control.
Show next subtab and Show previous subtab don't work in the Alchemy window, as the tabs don't have proper descriptors.
Show next subtab and Show previous subtab don't work in the Guild Store with AwesomeGuildStore, as AwesomeGuildStore doesn't use a proper ZO_MenuBar.
Show next subtab and Show previous subtab don't work in the Outfit Station window, as the tabs don't have proper descriptors.
The Dungeon Finder and Battlegrounds keybinds select the wrong entry in the navigation list of the group window. This appears to be a bug in the ESO UI.

1.10.1 - 2021-06-03
Removed startup message.

1.10.0 - 2021-06-02
Updated for Blackwood, including a new keybind for Endeavors.

Known issue: The Dungeon Finder and Battlegrounds keybinds select the wrong entry in the navigation list of the group window. There doesn't seem to be anything I can do about it, though.

1.9.0 - 2021-04-17
Updated for Flames of Ambition.

Added the following keybinds:

Collections > Sets
Quest Journal > Antiquities

Additionally, the Focus primary search box keybind is now also supported in the following locations:

Main Menu > Addons (with Circonians Addon Selector)
Main Menu > Controls (with Votan's Keybinder)
Main Menu > Settings > Addons

Also fixed the following bugs:

Fixed focusing primary search box in quick slots.
Fixed switching between champion point constellations.

1.8.0 - 2020-05-29
Updated for Greymoor.

1.7.0 - 2020-05-17
Subtab switching is now supported in most windows using these new keybinds:

Tabs > Show next subtab
Tabs > Show previous subtab

Additionally, the Focus primary search box keybind is now also supported in the following locations:

Outfit Station > Equipment
Outfit Station > Costume and Hat
Trading House (Guild Store) > Browse (without AwesomeGuildStore)

1.6.0 - 2020-05-16
Added support for switching between champion point constellations with the Show next tab and Show previous tab keybinds.

1.5.0 - 2020-05-12
You can now use the Show next tab and Show previous tab keybinds in a lot more places.

I have also added the following new keybinds:

Chat > Toggle chat window
Miscellaneous > Focus primary search box
Miscellaneous > Travel to primary house

You can read more about the new features in the add-on's description.

1.4.2 - 2020-05-10
The startup message will now actually only be printed once per login. Sorry about that!

1.4.1 - 2020-05-09
The startup message will now only be printed once per login.

1.4.0 - 2020-05-05
Removed "nonessential" keybinds to prevent hitting the ESO keybindings shadow limit.

I hate having to do this, but I would rather do it now, when it doesn't impact as many people, than later.

The following keybinds were removed:

Chat keybinds

Write in Emote
Write in Say
Write in Yell
Write in Zone - English
Write in Zone - French
Write in Zone - German
Write in Zone - Japanese
Write in Officer 1 to 5

Tabs keybinds

Alliance War > Overview
Alliance War > Campaigns
Collections > Collectibles
Collections > Stories
Collections > Housing
Collections > Outfit Styles
Friends > Friends
Friends > Ignored
Group > Zone Guide
Guilds > Ranks
Guilds > Recruitment
Guilds > Heraldry
Guilds > History
Help > Tutorials
Help > Customer Support
Help > Emotes
Inventory > Quickslots
Journal > Cadwell's Almanac
Journal > Lore Library
Journal > Leaderboards
Mail > Inbox
Mail > Send
Map > Key
Map > Filters
Map > Locations

I hope to find a way to support them later, if nothing else then by getting ZOS to increase or remove the keybindings shadow limit.

1.3.0 - 2020-05-03
- Tab switching in the Crown Store panel now works reliably.

1.2.1 - 2020-05-03
- Fixed a bug that could occur when switching from certain panels to inventory or map tabs.

1.2.0 - 2020-05-03
- The inventory and map tabs are now supported.

1.1.0 - 2020-05-02
- The add-on now enables chording so Ctrl/Alt/Shift/Command can be used in keybinds. This allows keybinds like Ctrl+B, Ctrl+Shift+B, or even Ctrl+Alt+Shift+B.

About the worldmap, you can use this function e.g. to change the worldmap tabs (right panel): Lua Code: --Show the worldmap ZO_WorldMap_ShowWorldMap() --Simulate click on the zo_menubar of the worldmap (ZO_WorldMapInfoMenuBar), at button 4 (from the left) -> selected via it's descriptor): ZO_MenuBar_SelectDescriptor(ZO_WorldMapInfoMenuBar, ZO_WorldMapInfoMenuBar.m_object.m_buttons[4][1].m_object.m_buttonData.descriptor) This will change to the 4th button (as table index ZO_WorldMapInfoMenuBar.m_object.m_buttons[4] was chosen). Maybe you can find out the descriptors of the buttons more easily as well somehow so you do not need to crawl all the way through ZO_WorldMapInfoMenuBar.m_object.m_buttons[buttinIndex].m_object.m_buttonData to get the descriptor. Player inventory: Via the settings menu -> keybindings -> Inventory https://github.com/esoui/esoui/blob/912d077a98c278b9074b9a7c630c92086a4d56a4/esoui/ingame/mainmenu/keyboard/zo_mainmenu_keyboard.lua#L110 I found the menu category MENU_CATEGORY_INVENTORY. and then with a search for this keybind I found the function in the global keybinds: https://github.com/esoui/esoui/blob/912d077a98c278b9074b9a7c630c92086a4d56a4/esoui/ingame/globals/bindings.xml#L362 Lua Code: SYSTEMS:GetObject("mainMenu"):ToggleCategory(MENU_CATEGORY_INVENTORY) With the inv opened: Lua Code: ZO_PlayerInventoryTabs.m_object:SelectDescriptor(index) index is a number from 0 (All items) to 8 (Junk) (or even 9 if you use additional addons like Harvens Stolen Filter which adds filter buttons there) Last edited by Baertram : 05/02/20 at 03:36 PM.

Player inventory:

Via the settings menu -> keybindings -> Inventory
https://github.com/esoui/esoui/blob/...board.lua#L110

I found the menu category MENU_CATEGORY_INVENTORY.
and then with a search for this keybind I found the function in the global keybinds:
https://github.com/esoui/esoui/blob/...dings.xml#L362

Lua Code:

SYSTEMS:GetObject("mainMenu"):ToggleCategory(MENU_CATEGORY_INVENTORY)

With the inv opened:

Lua Code:

ZO_PlayerInventoryTabs.m_object:SelectDescriptor(index)
index is a number from 0 (All items) to 8 (Junk) (or even 9 if you use additional addons like Harvens Stolen Filter which adds filter buttons there)

Thanks for the tips! I've been looking at that part of the code, but hadn't managed to connect the dots yet.

Baertram Super Moderator Forum posts: 4979 File comments: 6039 Uploads: 78	Found another way for the inventory: SCENE_MANAGER:Show("inventory") inventory is the scene name of the inventory. You can also open other scenes via their name like this. Some of them are defined here, or at least named here: https://github.com/esoui/esoui/blob/...gamescenes.lua Just a hint about keybinds: The server got a "shadow" limit! YOu can only enable like 150 to 200 keybindings. If you enable more because you use so many addons which use keybindings, the server will not save the keybindings anymore! They work if you set them, for the current session. After logout they are gone again. You need to disable addons then to be able to set the keybinds for the other addons. So better do not add "too much" with 1 addon (or include all needed keybinds in 1 addon, which is simply not possible ). Last edited by Baertram : 05/02/20 at 05:04 PM.

Yeah, I got that far myself. Showing the inventory wasn't the issue, showing the correct tab and switching between them was.

I'm aware of the keybindings limit, but I don't actually bind every single one of them--and I don't expect users of the add-on to do so, either. But I like to give people the choice, hence all the chat keybinds, for example, even though I personally only use 3 of them. I'll put a note in the description, though, so users have a chance to find out.

Maybe I could even check how many keys have been bound and warn the user if they have bound too many...

So there goes my dream of adding keybinds for most things.

I guess I'll slim it down to the keybinds I find essential, but of course that might limit the usefulness of the add-on for other people. Such a shame. All just because of this stupid limit.

Unfortunately they do not need to be bound, just need to exist as it seems

But to be honest: I'm already at the keybindings limit on my keyboard with all the addons active + chording enabled.
Most keybinds cannot be used in some windows as e.g. W or s + shift will "Move your character" as the s is global -> Menu closed, keybind not working.
And so on

Has anyone tried asking ZOS to increase/rework this limit? I imagine it's a storage concern, but storing unbound keys shouldn't be an issue...

I just released a new version that has an Antiquities keybind!

Incidentally, guess who just started working on Antiquities...
