I’ve had this issue for years now where, sometimes upon log-in, my keybinding profile is swapped to Character Specific and is completely blank. I even have to mouse-click to bring the menu up. Once I toggle it back to global keybindings, everything works as expected. This used to happen once or twice every few months.
Since 8.1, this happens almost every log-in (but frustratingly enough, not EVERY login, so debugging it is not so easy). I have not been able to figure out a pattern, other than I am fairly confident it is an addon issue.
I know I can do a full UI reset and see if that fixes everything, but given how much I’ve set up with my addons on two separate accounts, I’m trying to avoid that.
Thus my question is simple - is there a script to toggle to Global keybindings that I can toss into a mod that runs on startup? Google wasn’t giving me helpful results, unfortunately. Debugging this problem would be immensely time-consuming and a full UI reset would be even worse, so a workaround to just swap my keybinding profile would be so much easier.
Thanks!
Sounds like you have an addon that’s switching you to char specific.
I’d try switching to global then back to char specific and see if it copies them over. If it doesn’t, hit the Reset to Default button in the bottom left, while on Char specific KBs, and see if that copies over your default.

I have no doubt it’s an addon causing it, I just haven’t been able to figure out which since the behavior is so erratic, and I am trying to avoid a UI reset to attempt to fix the problem if I can help it.
The Reset to Default thing does appear to work, and the couple of characters I have that DO use character-specific bindings are seemingly not affected.
For now I’m looking for a quick fix via an on-login script that will act as a workaround, but at this rate I’m guessing I just need to dedicate an hour or two to figuring out what mod is possibly causing it and actually deal with it.
EDIT: Nevermind! I seem to have found the culprit, unless the past few relogs were the lucky ones.

Perfect! Thank you.
I always forget to check the gamepedia site for API info, I always just google and pray. >.>
This happens to me also, but since the TOC patch and the options menu change unchecking character specific key bind no longer fixes it . What did you find helped?
