Tanya's Keys
by TanyaEvil
Tanya's Keys is a Fabric HUD overlay that shows live WASD, SPACE and mouse inputs with click counters, for players who want their movement and clicks visible on screen.
What it does
The overlay draws the movement keys in real time, with indicators that light up as each key is pressed. Optional indicators cover Space, Shift and Left Ctrl, and separate indicators show the left and right mouse buttons. Accurate CPS counters track left and right clicks per second, which suits PvP recordings and speedrun or livestream footage where viewers want to see inputs as they happen.
Settings live in an in-game configuration screen reached from the Controls section of Options, under Key Binds. Six built-in color themes and four layout presets are available, and any preset can be adjusted key by key to build a custom layout. The mod is a lightweight client-side Fabric mod for 26.2, released under the Apache License 2.0 and open source, with its source code public. Only the client needs it, so servers and other players do not have to install anything.
