SecondaryKeybind
by 6allal
SecondaryKeybind lets players assign a second key to any action already in the Controls screen, which suits alternative layouts and accessibility needs.
What it does
Each action in the vanilla Controls menu can take an additional key alongside its primary binding, so a player can press either one to trigger it. The extra keys are set in the same integrated Controls interface that players already use, and pressing K opens that screen directly. Saved assignments sit in lightweight configuration files, which keeps the setup simple to copy between installs.
The mod is useful for players who use non-standard layouts, one-handed play or input devices that favor different keys, because a second binding can sit under a comfortable finger without removing the original. It is a client mod, so servers run without it and players install it alone. Fabric is the only loader, and the mod is published for 1.20 – 1.21.11, with the latest file built for 1.21.11.

Use cases
Alternative control layouts
Players who rebind movement or actions to non-default keys can keep a backup key for the same action.
Accessibility bindings
A second key gives players with limited reach or a preferred input style a binding that fits their hands.
Who it’s for: Players who use alternative layouts or need several input styles for one action, and anyone who wants an extra key for an existing action without changing the original binding.
