Think same
by mpfaff
Think same is a Fabric utility that changes how macOS handles keyboard and mouse input, so Minecraft behaves more like it does on other platforms.
What it does
The mod patches input behavior that Minecraft special-cases on macOS. Holding Ctrl no longer turns a left click into a right click, and Ctrl+Q drops the stack under the cursor instead of quitting the game. Some of these changes are unintuitive and can break existing functionality, so the patches are meant to be read before use. Environment: client-side only, so servers run without it and only the player's client needs the mod. Released under the MIT License, and it is open source. Files target 1.16 – 1.20.1 across 18 release versions, and the latest Fabric file is 1.1.1 for 1.20.1.
Key features
Ctrl-click fix
Holding Ctrl no longer converts a left click into a right click, matching the behavior on other platforms.
Ctrl+Q stack drop
Ctrl+Q drops the item stack under the cursor rather than closing the game, which is the macOS Cmd+Q pattern moved to Ctrl.
Source available
The source code is public, so anyone can check which behaviors are changed and how they are overridden.

How it compares
MacOS Input Fixes covers a similar macOS input area, is client-side only, is open source under the BSD 3-Clause License and targets 1.14 – 26.3. RebindAllTheKeys is also client-side only and open source under the MIT License, but it targets 1.16.2 – 1.21.1 and works as a key rebinding tool rather than a macOS patch.

What the author says
Minecraft has some behaviour that is special-cased on macOS, so that it "Thinks different" like the rest of the OS. Unfortunately, some of these changes are unintuitive and break existing functionality. [^1]: This is a side-effect of the implementation of the other overrides. Fixing this would be possible, but would…
