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.

ForgeClient-side onlyAll rights reserved1.12.2 – 1.20.1

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.

Key features

  1. Modifier bug fix

    Keybinds that use a modifier no longer trigger when only their base key is pressed.

  2. Clash menu unchanged

    Conflicting keys still show as clashing in the controls menu, since the mod leaves that report alone.

  3. Single-purpose change

    The mod changes only the keybind behaviour and adds no blocks, items or screens.

Questions

Does Modifier Key Fix still show clashing keys?

Yes. Keys with a shared binding are still listed as clashing in the controls menu, because the mod only changes how the bindings respond.

Which mod does the author suggest for managing keybinds?

The author recommends a key management mod such as Keyboard Wizard for more control over bindings.

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…
