Keymap
by Einjerjar
Keymap lets players remap Minecraft's key bindings visually, with a screen that shows which key each action uses.
What it does
Keymap replaces the standard controls screen with a visual key mapper. Pressing the grave accent (backtick) key below Escape opens the mapper while playing, and the search box can be focused to find an action by name. Mouse buttons beyond the standard ones can be registered by clicking them directly. A modifier system lets a binding use modifier keys by default.
The mod is client-side only, so only the player's game needs it and servers run without it. It requires Fabric API and works alongside Mod Menu, which is optional. Builds exist for Fabric, Forge and Quilt across the 1.17.1 – 1.19.2 range, with the latest files for 1.19.2 on Fabric and Forge and for 1.18.2 on Quilt. The files are beta releases, and the Quilt build is tested on loader 0.18.x betas while 0.17.x still works.
Keymap is open source under the ISC License, with public source code and an issue tracker. It was first published on 2022-12-09 and last updated on 2023-07-01. Its interface also includes a credits screen and Japanese and Simplified Chinese key layouts.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Players who use the client on Fabric, Forge or Quilt and want a visual way to change key bindings. Only the client needs the mod, so server owners do not have to install it.
How it compares
New Visual Keybing is also a visual key mapper and is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, with files for 1.19 – 26.2 on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt. AeroBind is a Forge-only, client-side mod for 1.12.2 with the All rights reserved license, so it is not open source. Multibinder is a Fabric-only mod for 26.2 under the MIT License, and it is not open source either.

Currently not working w/ Quilt loader 0.18.x betas (0.17.x is still ok), I'm trying to find a proper solution, but in the meantime workaround mentioned Here should do. EDIT: all good
