Hello

I've got two accounts that i play on one PC via the non-steam eve launcher.

I want to sync the keyboard shortcuts and any other settings from my main account to my secondary.

Is this possible?

Sync as in so they are the same on both accounts

Or

Sync as in press 1 key and both accounts do something at the same time?

I believe it may be possible with the new launcher, but I've not explored that capability yet.

I wouldn't try it with the old launcher, as that could be mistaken as client modification.

i want to copy all settings from my main account onto my secondary account without having to go through the whole thing manually.

sync probably wasnt the right word to use

It supports multiple settings profiles

For each client you launch, you can select a settings profile. This is somewhat simplistic, though - really all that is happening is you are selecting a settings folder to use for the client.

Create yourself a batch file in windows and use the following to help you, I do exactly what you describe all the time. If you don't know what the batch functions are look them up on google to work it out. but the short version is it changes directory to your specific settings folder then copies one of my characters settings files and pastes them to the same folder. It will overwrite existing files so get the source right. Then it jumps to account settings and does the same, using the same account as source as my "main" character is on.

Easiest way to get the numbers you need since they're not named is to use EVEMon and have a look at the Character select page, it's got the numbers related to the characters and account on there.

@echo off
echo check directory is correct!

cd C:\Users\Moonlit\AppData\Local\CCP\EVE\c_eve_sharedcache_tq_tranquility\settings_Default

echo copy main's settings to all other toons?

If brute force isn't working, you're just not using enough.
