RebindMyKeys
RebindMyKeys lets players change keys that vanilla Minecraft fixes in place, including the debug and HUD shortcuts that the game does not expose in its controls screen.
What it does
Keybinding changes made in the controls screen cover most actions, but several debug and display shortcuts are locked to fixed keys. RebindMyKeys opens those shortcuts to rebinding, so the F3 debug menu, the HUD toggle and the show-hitboxes option can each move to a key the player chooses. An unbind button clears a binding, which lets a key that is needed for escape be freed up when a rebound action uses it.
The mod adds entries for pause, close menu, the debug menu, toggle HUD, debug combinations, show hitboxes, dismount and refresh server list. Dismount and refresh server list were both suggested by players during development. Users who dislike having the F3 debug menu share a key with the F1 HUD toggle can separate the two.
RebindMyKeys requires Fabric API. The mod is published for Fabric only, across five release versions, 1.20 – 1.20.4, with 3.0+alpha2.1 for 1.20.4 as the latest file. It runs on the client alone, so servers do not need it. The code is open source under the MIT License, and source and issue tracker links are public.
Key features
Rebindable debug menu
The F3 debug menu key can be moved to another key, so it no longer has to share space with other shortcuts.
Toggle HUD binding
The key that hides the HUD is a normal keybinding, which the player can change or clear.
Unbind button
A button in the controls screen removes a binding, freeing a key for another action.
Debug combinations and hitboxes
Debug key combinations and the show-hitboxes option are included in the list of rebindable actions.
Server list refresh
The refresh server list action can be assigned to a key, which the author added at player request.

How it compares
Render Distance Keybinds is client-side only and open source under the MIT License, with files for 1.19 – 26.2, so it covers a wider version span than this mod. NarratorBeGone is also client-side only, but it is open source under the Apache License 2.0 and built for 1.16.1 – 1.20.1, which is an older range. RebindMyKeys covers the debug and HUD keys that neither of these handles.
