CMD + Delete
- By
A text navigation shortcuts framework for Minecraft, allowing macOS users to have native text behavior & everyone else to define custom shortcuts.
CMD + Delete
In Minecraft on macOS, pressing option + backspace deletes a single character, and pressing command + backspace deletes a word. This is completely inconsistent with the native OS, so I fixed it…
This mod also functions as a fully configurable text editing/navigation shortcut framework for Minecraft with custom mappings JSONs and sharecodes, in-game switching, and more!
Some Context
- If you use this mod on Windows or Linux, and you don't use custom mappings, nothing will change from vanilla Minecraft.
- If you have any problems with this mod, please report them as Issues on GitHub. This mod is Open Source and Pull Requests are very much welcome! :)
- For technical information about custom mappings and how the mod works, you should go to the CMD + Delete documentation.
Note:
CMD + Delete is a Fabric mod which also supports Quilt for Minecraft 1.14.4 to the latest version.
It also supports Forge 1.20.1 and NeoForge 1.21.1, but only with Sinytra Connector.
