CMD + Delete

Fixes Minecraft’s text editing behavior on macOS so it has the proper modifier keybinds for cmd/option line/word navigation and deletion.

CMD + Delete

In Minecraft on macOS, pressing option and backspace deletes a single character, and pressing command and backspace deletes a word. This is completely inconsistent with the native OS, so I fixed it:

Important Context
