why no account-wide keybindings?

My question stems from recently picking up a controller and turning on gamepad mode, I realized I had to setup everyone's control scheme individually, across 14 characters; it was mind numbing why can't this be account-wide setting? There are addons that allow your settings and changes to be account-wide if you turn it on that way, as in an option that lets you make any changes on one character it will apply to all your characters without having to do it again on each one. Why isn't it a thing to have the base game Keybindings be set as account-wide instead of going to each and every individual character to setup their keybindings if I'm going to make them all the same anyway?

    Someone from Zeni acknowledged this once and there was a suggestion it might be something they'd do in the future.

    I imagine its low priority and not as simple a job as many think (controls are stored server side). But agreed, it's frustrating.

    Not sure if there's something in the API that'd let a modder grab these from one character for later saving to a new character. Have you had a good rummage through add-ons to see if someone tackled it?

    Try the add-on Votan's Keybinder ( http://www.esoui.com/downloads/info1174-VotansKeybinder.html ).
    Whenever I make a new character all the key bindings are set.

    CROWN CRATES: It doesn't affect gameplay, it's not mandatory, it's cosmetic only. If it helps to support the game and ZOS, I support it! Say YES to crown crates.

    There's the addon called "Binder", which I'm using with all of my characters.
