ViewBoard
by ALostMagic
ViewBoard changes how the keybinds screen in the controls menu is laid out, and it shows which keys each action has been assigned.
What it does
The controls screen lists every action with the keys bound to it, and ViewBoard makes that list easier to read and filter. Conflict rules can be set to ignore or group bindings that share a key, and a conflict filter narrows the list to clashing entries. Width modes for the keybind list are saved between sessions, so the chosen layout stays in place after a restart.
The mod is client-side only, so players install it alone and servers do not need it. Fabric API is required on every loader it supports, and the files target 1.20.1 – 26.1.2 across Fabric, Forge and NeoForge. The code is not open source; it is released under All rights reserved. Snapshot builds are not covered on the Modrinth page.

Use cases
Modpacks with many keybinds
Large packs add many keys, and the filter and grouping rules help find which ones overlap.
Working alongside FancyMenu
The author lists improved compatibility with FancyMenu, so the two can be used in the same setup.
Who it’s for: Players who run heavily modded clients and want to check their keybinds without reading every line, and anyone editing controls through a mod that changes the menu.
How it compares
Enhanced Keybinds (More Binds) is open source under the MIT License and runs client-side only on Fabric and Quilt for 1.21.4 – 26.2. Command Keybind Changer is client-side only on Fabric alone, covering 1.20 – 1.21.8 under All rights reserved. KeybindHider is client-side only on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1 – 26.2 under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license, so it shares ViewBoard's loaders and environment while being a different tool.
