Way too many binds
by Ancar
Way Too Many Binds gives the controls menu a search box, so a keybind can be found by its name, category or translation key rather than by scrolling through the list.
What it does
Players who keep many bindings, or who use a few of them rarely, often scroll the controls screen to locate one. Typing into the search box filters the list by a bind's name, its category or its translation key, so a query such as key.inventory returns the same entry that the name Open/Close Inventory would. The search stays inside the existing controls menu, and nothing is changed about the bindings themselves.
The mod is a port of TooManyBinds by Ryhon0, which is licensed GPL-3.0, and it is associated with earlier work by NebelNidas and dzwdz. A pair of switches near the upper-left of the display turns the search on and off. Fabric API is required. Only the player's game needs it, and servers run without it. Files are published for 1.21.11 and 26.2, with 1.3.0 for 26.2 as the latest, under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and the code is open source. Support for releases before 1.21.11 is not provided here, so a different mod is needed for them.
Key features
Search by bind name
Typing a word into the search box lists every keybind whose name contains it, without opening subcategories.
Search by category and key
The same search also matches the category of a bind and its translation key, so one query can cover several entries.
Upper-left switches
A pair of switches near the upper-left of the display turns the search box on and off while the controls menu is open.
Quick access to rare binds
Keybinds that are used only occasionally can be located at once instead of being hunted through the whole list.

How it compares
Inventory Search is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only and is client-side only, with files for 1.21.3 – 26.3, so it covers a wider version span than this mod. Multibinder is closed to source, under the MIT License, and is published only for 26.2, matching this mod's newest build. Too Many Binds Plus is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, works on Fabric and Quilt for 1.20.2 – 1.21.10, and is the option for servers that still run versions older than 1.21.11.

What the author says
instead of hunting through the controls menu. Handy for anything you use too rarely to justify a key of its own.
