Snap Tap
by betterclient
Snap Tap changes how the two strafing keys behave when both are held, so the last key pressed takes priority for fast direction changes on a Fabric or Quilt client.
What it does
When both the A and D keys are pressed at once, the mod reads the key that was pressed last and gives it priority, which allows very accurate strafing movement. Keyboards from some makers, Wooting and Razer among them, are the usual target of this kind of input behavior. Snap Tap runs on the client alone and needs Fabric API on both loaders, which is listed as a required dependency.
Files target the 1.15 – 26.2 range across 42 release versions, and the mod is published for Fabric and Quilt. The license is CC0 1.0 Universal, so the code is open source and free to reuse, and the source code and issue tracker are public.
Key features
Last-pressed strafing priority
When both strafing keys are held, the key pressed most recently is the one that counts, so the character moves in that direction.
Accurate direction changes
Rapid switches between left and right movement register precisely, which is the purpose of the input change.
Client-only operation
The change happens on the player's own client, so a server does not need the mod to play with it.

Use cases
Keyboard setups with strafing hardware
Players using Wooting or Razer keyboards for fast strafing movement may want the last-key priority behavior.
Who it’s for: Players who want the last-pressed strafing key to take priority on a Fabric or Quilt client. Server owners do not need to install it, but some servers have rules about input changes like this, so players should check them first.
How it compares
Wooting Compat is a Fabric, Forge and NeoForge mod for 1.19.2 – 1.21.11, client-side only and open source under the MIT License, so it covers more loaders than Snap Tap. No Double Tap Sprint is a Fabric and Quilt mod for 1.18 – 1.21.4 under the MIT License and also client-side only, but it changes sprint behavior rather than strafing. Tap Tab is a Fabric and Quilt mod for 1.18 – 1.20.4, client-side only and open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only.
