Keybindery

by trevlar

Keybindery lets players hold several keys together as one chord on the Key Binds screen, and it sits under the Controls menu of Minecraft 26.3.

What it does

Multi-key chords are assigned from the Keybinds button in the pause menu and from the Options, Controls, Key Binds path. Each row has a chord button, so a player presses the chord they want, holds the keys together and releases them to save it. Pressing Escape cancels a capture, and the chord is stored in the mod's own config. Vanilla single-key bindings keep working, and mods that do not opt into chords behave exactly as before.

The Key Binds menu gains a search box that filters bindings by name, category or key chord, with options to show only conflicting binds or only unbound ones. The list is grouped by category and sorted alphabetically by default. The mod opens over the current screen, and the player sees the active filter at once; a single clear action removes it. Keybindery needs Fabric API and MenuKit, and it is published for Fabric only, for 1.21.11 – 26.3. Its bundled YACL 3.9.7 is included in the jar, but a separate YACL install is also possible.

Key features

  1. Multi-key chords

    Several keys can be held together as one binding, and the chord is recorded when the keys are released.

  2. Searchable controls screen

    A search box on the Key Binds menu filters bindings by name, category or chord and can be cleared in one step.

  3. Conflict and unbound filters

    Filters limit the list to bindings that conflict with another or to bindings that have no key assigned.

  4. Vanilla bindings preserved

    Single-key bindings keep working, and mods that do not use chords are unaffected.

Drop the jar in your mods/ folder along with Fabric API. YACL is bundled inside the jar. YACL 3.9.7 comes bundled, so there is no separate install.
