Move & Chat
by Ynotnaexists
Move & Chat lets a player keep walking and turning while the chat window stays open, using a Ctrl-toggled command movement mode.
What it does
Holding the control key moves the player while the chat window remains open, so typing and walking can happen together. A toggle command switches the movement mode on and off, and Enter, Tab and Alt-tab each accept the current suggestion in different ways, so a command can be completed and sent without leaving the keyboard.
The mod is a client-side Fabric utility, so only the player's own game needs it and servers run without it. Files target 1.21.6 – 26.2, with 2.1 for 26.2 as the latest build from 2026-07-03, and the code is released under the MIT License, making it open source. Snapshot builds are not part of the listing.
Key features
Movement while chatting
Control-key movement continues while the chat window is open, so the player can walk and type together.
Command movement mode
A toggle switches between normal play and a mode where chat and movement are handled together.
Suggestion acceptance
Enter accepts the current suggestion and sends the command, while Tab accepts it and returns to normal mode.
Argument completion
Alt-tab accepts the current suggestion, adds a space and moves on to the next argument, staying in command movement mode.

Use cases
Typing commands while moving
A player walking through a world can type a long command without stopping to stand still.
Filling in command arguments
Stepping through arguments with suggestions keeps a multi-part command quick to finish.
Who it’s for: Players who type chat messages or commands during play on Fabric 26.2 and the other listed game versions, in single-player or on a server, since the mod needs nothing from the server side.
How it compares
Movement In GUI is also open source under the MIT License and runs client-side only on Fabric for 1.14 – 26.3, so it covers a wider version span, though it targets moving inside screens rather than chat. Higher Chat is open source under The Unlicense, client-side only and published for 1.20.1 – 1.21.11, and it moves the chat window above the armor bar rather than adding command movement. Hypixel Tab Completions is client-side only under All rights reserved, covering 1.21.2 – 26.3, and focuses on tab completion for a single server.
