This add-on adds 30+ new keybinds that allow you to do more without reaching for the mouse.
I would have liked to make it possible to keybind almost everything in the UI, but ESO unfortunately has a shadow limit on the number of defined keybindings. After the limit is hit, new keybinds will not be saved, so I'm trying to limit keybinds to the ones I deem essential.
Dependencies
The following dependencies are needed for the add-on to work:
Dealing with existing keybinds
This add-on allows you to use Ctrl/Alt/Shift/Command in bindings, for example Ctrl+B to open your inventory.
In order to fully utilize this, you will probably want to bind Crouch (Ctrl) and/or Character Windows (Alt) to something else.
I personally bound Crouch to C and Character to Ctrl-C and unbound Character Windows (since ESC closes them and I have specific keybinds to open the character windows I use), but it's ultimately up to you.
The keybinds
The keybinds are divided into four categories: Chat, Game Menu, Miscellaneous, and Tabs.
Chat
The first chat keybind allows you to toggle the chat window.
The rest of the chat keybinds allow you to write to a chat channel without typing /p etc. first.
This is useful if you're in a group, but need to fire off a quick message to your favorite guild.
The following channels are supported:
The game menu keybinds allow you to open the add-on settings and keybindings menus.
Additionally, if you have libAddonKeybinds, the keybindings keybind will toggle between standard and add-on keybinds.
Miscellaneous keybinds
These keybinds are for odds and ends that don't fit in any other category.
First, there is a keybind to travel to your primary house.
Second, there is a keybind to focus the primary search box, if there is one, in the current view.
The following view's primary search boxes are supported:
Tabs keybinds
The tabs keybinds allow you to open essential tabs directly and also provides a way to switch to the next/previous tab/subtab where possible.
The following tabs can be toggled specifically using keybinds:
Things I want to make work if I can:
If you have many add-ons that define a lot of keybindings, you might hit keybindings shadow limit imposed by the ESO client. If your keybinds stop saving, you have hit the shadow limit.
I plan to break up the keybinds into separate modules that you'll be able to disable if you don't use any of their keybinds.
Additionally, I'm aware of the following issues that I, unfortunately, cannot do anything about currently:

Things I want to make work if I can:
- Breaking the keybinds up into modules that can be enabled/disabled
- Switching items in vertical lists (for example quests in the quest journal)
- Travel to favorite house (for example guild house)

Additionally, I'm aware of the following issues that I, unfortunately, cannot do anything about currently:
- Focus primary search box doesn't work in Guild Store > Browse with AwesomeGuildStore, as I cannot reliably look up the control.
- Show next subtab and Show previous subtab don't work in the Alchemy window, as the tabs don't have proper descriptors.
- Show next subtab and Show previous subtab don't work in the Guild Store with AwesomeGuildStore, as AwesomeGuildStore doesn't use a proper ZO_MenuBar.
- Show next subtab and Show previous subtab don't work in the Outfit Station window, as the tabs don't have proper descriptors.
- The Dungeon Finder and Battlegrounds keybinds select the wrong entry in the navigation list of the group window. This appears to be a bug in the ESO UI.
