Settings Keybinds
by LittleLily
Settings Keybinds lets players bind keys to change game options such as view bobbing, subtitles, sneak, sprint and GUI scale, without returning to the settings menus.
What it does
Each setting that can be toggled or cycled gets its own key binding. Pressing the key changes the value directly during play, so a player who needs to switch view bobbing or render distance quickly does not have to leave the world, open the options and search for the right row. Difficulty can be bound as well, though it only changes in single-player worlds.
The mod is a client mod for Fabric and is published only for 1.18.1, with the latest file 2.3.1 dated 2022-02-06. Because the environment is client-side only, servers do not need it and players can join a server without installing anything. The code is released under the MIT License and is open source; the source code and issue tracker are public. Settings Keybinds has no required dependencies beyond Fabric itself.
Key features
Toggle view bobbing and subtitles
Bind keys to switch view bobbing and subtitles on or off without opening the video or accessibility settings.
Tooltip and HUD options
Advanced item tooltips, held item tooltips and the attack indicator each get a key that flips them on or off.
Sneak and sprint toggles
Toggle sneak and toggle sprint can be bound, so the mouse and keyboard controls change while playing.
Render and framerate settings
Render distance, simulation distance and max framerate can be adjusted from a key press in the middle of a session.

How it compares
Settings Keybinds is open source under the MIT License and runs on the client only. View Bobbing Keybind is also client-side only and open source under the MIT License, but it targets 1.21.8 – 1.21.11 and only covers view bobbing. Toggle Sneak & Sprint is client-side only, open source under CC0 1.0 Universal and published for 1.19 – 1.21, so it does not cover the full settings list. Toggle Controls is client-side only, released under All rights reserved and not open source, for 1.21.5.

Adds key bindings to change Minecraft settings. This allows settings that were previously only configurable through the settings screen to be changed in game through the use of a key binding that can be set by the user, saving time going back and forth through menus in the case of needing to quickly switch settings…
