    yeah, i code on LUAU daily, that's one of those things that every new programmer should know since it's so useful.

    Only for the control's params of the anchoring it does, yes.

    As each control is anchored by default to it's parent control, you can leave the anchorTo controls empty and it will just use the parent control to anchor to then.

    Other params like anchorMySide (e.g. LEFT) to the otherControlsSide (e.g. RIGHT, where otherControl would be parent then) will still bed used properly.

    Often you'll find code like this at the top of functions too:
    param1 = param1 or false

    or

    param1 = param1 or {}

    It will just make sure the param1 will not be nil in the end and errors due to that if param1 will be accessed, so that's another way of definig a "fallback".

    If the variable is not existing because nothing was assigned to it, it's nil and it's okay to have it in the code "until you try to access that variable somewhere". This will raise a nil error then.
    -> The control's anchors accept nil values for some params (anchorToCntrol e.g.) so this would never error there for that param! If a reference control in an anchor is nil it will just use the parent control automatically afaik.

    And you are using LibAddonMenu2 in your lua file but it is not in your txt files dependencies!
    You should add it as LibAddonMenu2>=36 and name all the (optional)dependencies at the addon description site please, as described here:
    https://www.esoui.com/forums/showthread.php?t=10790
    Thank you

    Another hint about LAM:
    registerForRefresh = true, is only needed if you got e.g multiple controls in your LAM panel and changing control1 should update the ohr controls's disabled state etc. (setfunc of control1 will run getFunc of all other controls of your panel then).
    So currently it does not make sense to enable that in your LAM panel.

    Found global leaking variables:

    In function UI2Clipboard.ResetWinPos
    vMP
    Should be local vMP=UI2Data.vars["MenuPos"] I guess?

    In your function UI2Clipboard.SetupMenu, line 220 you anchor a control to the control cButDrop
    butTxt:SetAnchor(CENTER, cButDrop, CENTER, 0,hgtOS)
    But cButDrop will be created later at lines 233ff so it is nil at that line 220


    Your function TextToClipboard should be either local, or added to your global table UI2Clipboard.TextToClipboard instead of having it with that non-unique name.
    Or rename it to UI2Clipboard_TextToClipboard for example.
    Thanks for the help, All done. (unless i forgot something, which i hope i didn't)

    About the nil var in the anchor, yeah, i usually use software that marks those things out for me, didn't think this project would justify installing VS so i just went with plain old Notepad++, guess i missed one, or two, considering vMP wasn't defined but still assignable, ESO's LUA is kinda weird coming from LUAU.
