Modifier Key Fix
by fureniku
Modifier Key Fix corrects a vanilla bug in which a keybind that uses a modifier key also triggers the base key on its own.
What it does
In the vanilla game, a binding that combines a modifier with a key still fires when only the base key is pressed. This Forge mod stops that behaviour, so the modified binding responds only to the full combination. It is a small, single-purpose fix. Keys still appear as clashing in the controls menu, because the conflict is reported by the game rather than removed by the mod. For more control over bindings, the author suggests a key management mod such as Keyboard Wizard. Only the player's game needs it, and servers run without it. Files are published for Forge across six release versions, 1.12.2 – 1.20.1, with 1.1 for 1.20.1 as the latest file.

What the author says
This is a super simple mod I whipped up to fix a problem I've been having, and figured others might find useful. Please note, the keys will still show as a clash in the key menu. This would be a bit more difficult to fix and isn't a huge problem, I recommend using a key management mod like Keyboard Wizard to help…
