keybind/HUD save function across characters

[Hamada]

Can you please implement a way to save and restore keybinds&HUD layouts across characters?

Everytime I create a character or switch PC's I have to recreate my keybinds/HuD layout. On PC I can atleast copy my character data folder over to another PC but that only works for characters Ive already set keybinds/layouts for and only on PC.

It would be nice to create a character and just implement the keybinds from another character or system easily without having to take 15mins to an hour setting up everything I had the way I had it on my other characters.

I know it is not what your requesting and I agree it is something they can do because they have done it for FFXI. However the bold is wrong. What you do is figure out the folder name of the character you want to copy TO. make a copy of the folder you want to copy FROM, move it in a space like desktop so it is safer to rename, then rename it by copying the name once you find out the file name of the other character. Walla, you cloned your layout.

This doesn't necessarily work well for PS4 users though and I do play across both systems.

In regards to windows though, do you know which files have the keybind/HUD? I dont want to risk accidently wiping out something. (Of course I do have my character data backed up regularly to an external drive in the event of a crash)

You have to figure it out by trial and error, copy all the folders and put them somewhere, then delete the folders that you game reads one by one.
On the copied versions, edit the name by putting the name next to the numbers, so you know in the future. (then make more copies when you put them back and new destination, editing the name extensions out on the new copies)

I have an alt account, both accts 8 chrs each soo... I know from experience.

I hate that. I can understand why they save HUD layouts on the computer you are using, since different computers can have different set ups that might not work the same. But why in gods name are gear sets stored in the same place? ...sorry I think I was triggered.
