improving the interface for 1- handed player use

stupid accident => main hand in a cast for some time => trying to play ESO 1-handed

So here's my feedback and plea for some improvements to the interface :
1/ Please , make all the pop up windows act the same way !
atm, if you talk to a merchant /banker /fence/crafting station , you will be abble to do 99.99% of the stuff with mouse only : right-click on item to select an action, then the confirm /cancel /exit commands are all accesible through clickable zones at the bottom ot the dialogue window. Only need for keyboard is to enter a price.
BUT if you loot / steal from a container, then the only clickable option is R for steal/loot all. Can't right click to loot just 1 thing, can't close the window without using keyboard. Not only is it not handy but it is not even coherent with the way the interface behave in other cases ! Could you plan on an update to add the right-click action + exit button to looting and stealing please ?

2/Combat : if you plan on doing anything exept light atttack, you have to use keyboard (controler is not an option with only one hand !) . And I could do that fairly efficiently ... IF ONLY WE COULD LINK KEYS TO MOVING CURSOR / POW LEFT OR RIGHT ! Cause now, if monster gets out of my LOS, getting it aligned again with just the straffing L and R, ARGH !!! Whereas if A and D keys could be set to turn you char, turn + move forward /backward is enough mobility for pve , and mouse would not be needed for combat.

None of those changes seem tremendous to me, and that would sure improve the accessibility of your game to some disabled people a lot !

@ZOS_GinaBruno , any chance of devs looking into that ? (and would be good com for ZoS to be abble to claim they are working on making their game handi-frendly, to help hide the current disaster with last patch ...

PS : my apologies for any funky spelling, i blame it on my off hand being illiterate ;)

    Only if there is something useful for RB, LB, RT and LT to plug in. Without there is no map zoom, way shrine, no light or heavy attack and no ultimates.

    5 - Interact
    7 - Quickslot
    8 - Ultimate
    9 - Weapon Swap

    Front Shoulder button - Mount
    Back Shoulder button - Roll Dodge
    Middle Mouse button - Auto Run

    12 key thumbpad mouse.

    saddly it's my right hand that is disabled. and ambidextrous / left handed mouse don't come with more than 5 buttons :( (including left and right click)
    That's enough for exploring (linked mount, autorun, interact with the 3 extra buttons) but not for combat
