I will suggest it’s not a good way to go about this. We want to protect people from making mistakes and this course of action would permit someone to overwrite their keybinds on some characters they don’t want to.
The better design would be copying keybinds from one specific character. Another great method would be the ability to save a few keybinds, giving them names, with the means to import the chosen keybinds settings.
Both means provide more control over an all or nothing design.

thats what some addons do
the one i used to use a long time ago that is defunct now was called "binder" which when you got on a character you selected another character to load the settings/keybinds from and thus it would synch the binds
at the time that was the only addon i knew of that did that, but it was still significantly easier than manually going through, i havent tried any of the new addons cause i havent really seen a need since theres actually relatively few keybinds i change from defaults, its mostly the game settings and non-acctwide addon settings that get kind of annoying

Please give us a toggle to make Settings account bound. It could be similar to the housing permissions, where we could choose which character to have these copy.
And since it would be a toggle those who prefer to keep them separate can still do so.

I just use Votan's Keybinder - works perfectly. Of course, useless for those on console.

This works great for keybinding, but not for account-wide game settings. For someone like me who constantly creates and deletes characters, it would be nice if ZOS just made our game settings were account wide. Like WHY does a new character start in first person mode when 99% of the players play in third person?? Why do I have to change my camera settings for every character, I hate the 'over the shoulder' viewpoint and want my camera centered. That sort of thing.
I know in several addons they allow for account-wide settings, but some allow you to type the name of the character you want the settings replicated from... so having something like that would save a lot of time. Because account-wide settings could be a pain if, for some reason, you wanted a change on one character but it kept reverting each time you logged in. I know some of my characters I have to adjust the camera height due to some characters being taller and others shorter- which throws the camera off.

Can someone suggest some good color codes that are readable? I’m having trouble with that 🙂
