Fix Keyboard on Linux

by ishland

Fix Keyboard on Linux repairs a set of keyboard bugs that affect text input on Linux systems, for players on Fabric.

FabricClient-side onlyMIT LicenseOpen source1.18.2 – 1.21.11

What it does

The mod targets keyboard behavior that works differently on Linux than on other systems in Minecraft text fields. Its author describes it as a simple fix for these annoying bugs, and the mod changes only how keyboard input is handled. Installing it on the client is enough, since only the client needs it, and no server component is involved.

Key features

  1. Select All shortcut

    Ctrl-A selects all text in a text input field, as expected on other platforms.

  2. Copy and paste shortcuts

    Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V copy and paste text inside text input fields.

  3. Other text input fixes

    The author notes that further keyboard shortcuts on text input may also be covered, beyond the three named shortcuts.
