Votan's Keybinder

Overview

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.

Dependencies

- libAddonKeybinds (optional, but recommented)

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. :)

To Do

ABOUT THIS LISTING

This page describes Votan's Keybinder by votan. The description and screenshots are the author's own, imported from their listing on ESOUI on 24 October 2026: https://www.esoui.com/downloads/info1174-VotansKeybinder.html

Mythiq.net hosts no files for it. The download button goes straight to the release file on cdn.esoui.com, so you are downloading from the author's own host, not from a copy of ours.

The download count, rating and comments on this page start at zero and count Mythiq.net only. The source's own figures are not copied here — they measure a different site, and a number that cannot be checked against our own ledger is not worth printing.

Requirements

Game versions
  • 11.3.0
  • 11.2.0
API VERSION

Built for ESO API version 11.3.0, 11.2.0. After a patch the game marks add-ons built for the previous API as out of date; the "Allow out of date add-ons" checkbox in the add-on menu loads them anyway, and most work.

LIBRARIES

Many ESO add-ons depend on a shared library — LibAddonMenu-2.0 above all — which is installed separately, exactly like an add-on. A dependency that is missing shows as the add-on simply not appearing in the list.

CONSOLE

Add-ons are PC and Mac only. There is no way to load them on console.

Installation

1. Download the archive with the button on this page and unzip it.

2. Move the unzipped folder into your add-ons directory:

Windows — Documents\Elder Scrolls Online\live\AddOns

macOS — ~/Documents/Elder Scrolls Online/live/AddOns

3. Start the game, and at the character select screen click Add-Ons.

4. Tick the add-on. If it is greyed out and marked out of date, tick "Allow out of date add-ons" at the top of the same panel.

5. Log in. Most add-ons need a /reloadui after they are first enabled.

UPDATING

Delete the old folder first. ESO loads everything it finds, and two copies of one add-on is the usual cause of "an add-on has produced an error" on login.

This release downloads from cdn.esoui.com, not from us, so there is no checksum to compare against. Scan the archive before you unpack it.
