Can you add the possibility to use key combinations? Like Ctrl, Alt,... etc.
This has been a standard in vast majority of games since... well, ages ago. I don't understand why is it not possible in ESO :(

And using addons for this just doesn't work (either at all or not too well).

    Actually, someone over at ESOUI told me that 1) the keybinds were saved on the server, and 2) there's a limit how many of them can be saved.

    Neither of this makes any sense... Especially with the sheer amount of addons you can install.

    Wouldnt be fair to console players.

    You can set your keybinds to use compound keys like CTRL-1 or whatever. You just can't *add* keybinds.

    The only additional keybind settings I'm aware of in the API but not the vanilla UI are for the quickslot selections, so you can bypass the wheel. This is pretty essential for those who need to use something other than the standard kbm setup.

    Huh? How, why?
    Are you saying PC players shouldn't have anything because console players don't have it either? (not like you even need to care playing on a controller)

    That's not what I am talking about.
    The base game doesn't allow for key combinations with Ctrl/Alt/Shift to be set as keybinds. I think it makes perfect sense for it to be changed.
