I know!!

There's apparently an addon that does this, but it really should be part of the UI.

It's not like I'm going to use differnt buttons for Ultimate or email for different toons. Or colour-code my guilds differntly...

The game stopped resetting everything on each patch, that was when it was really bad. Some Addons have a check box for Global Settings, like the Master Merchant Mod.

There are Add-Ons to copy key bindings from one account to another, but since they stopped resetting those on each patch, I question the need. The only thing left is your add on settings for each character. And, since those settings propogate between patches now too, I question the real need for that.

The only time it's really an issue now is setting up a new character. I guess the Key Bind copy mod could help out with that. Not sure what to do with the Addons, but you can set what characters use what addons in the Character Select screen. Just choose the drop down on the left hand side. You can change all the characters add ons in one place without logging on to them or reloading the UI on each change.

So, this pain your feeling is a lot less than it was back before patch 1.4 (1.5?)

Nestor, you clearly have your settings established and do not need to change or tweak them any more.

I still tweak mine trying to find a balance, and any new toons just add to the problem. The add-ons do seem to do a better job than the base game, I am not so much worried about them, just need a stable solution for the game itself.

BTW, What add-ons, Nestor? I only know of one, and it is "discontinued"

Thank you, Danikat. I am trying out Binder. It is a partial solution.

I sure hope Zenimax comes up with a complete solution, especially if they expect to keep all those new customers they are hoping to get.

Binder works. Still works.
When ZOS accidentally reset everyone's ui with a patch last summer it was a life saver.
Wykkds also saves one for all characters as does Srrendar, pChat ,Azzura & many others.
