About this project
What does KeyShift add?
KeyShift lets you keep multiple keybinding profiles — complete control layouts for combat, building, exploration, or any playstyle — and switch between them instantly, in-gam e, with a single hotkey. No restart, no re-doing your Controls screen every time.
✨Features:
🔄 Instant profile switching
- Switch with per-profile hotkeys, or cycle with Next/Previous Profile hotkeys (wraps around)
- Hotkeys support keyboard keys, mouse buttons (including side buttons 4/5), and Ctrl / Shift / Alt combos
- Changes apply immediately no restart, no menu digging
- On-screen notification + optional sound confirm every switch
🧩 Smart inheritance system
- Your existing controls are captured as the Default profile the first time the mod runs — installing KeyShift changes nothing
- Other profiles store only their differences from Default; everything else is inherited. Fix a binding once in Default and every profile follows automatically
- Changes made in vanilla's Controls screen are absorbed into the active profile — nothing gets lost
⌨️ Full keybinding editor
- Edit every binding in the game vanilla and from all installed mods (bindings are discovered dynamically, nothing is hardcoded)
- Instant case-insensitive search, category grouping, and clear markers showing exactly what each profile overrides
- Per binding reset and one click Reset All
- Save Layout button: snapshot your current controls into a new named profile at any time
- Overrides for mods you later uninstall are preserved and reactivate if the mod returns
🛡️ Safe & lightweight
- 100% client-side works in singleplayer and on any server
- One config file (
config/keyshift.json); corrupt configs are backed up and regenerated instead of crashing - No macros, no automation, no input recording, no telemetry it only manages which keys map to which game actions
📖 Quick start
- Bind Open KeyShift in Options → Controls (KeyShift category), or use the Mod Menu config button
- Create a profile → Edit Keybindings → change what you want
- Give it a Hotkey → press it in-game → done
📋 Requirements
- Minecraft 1.21.11 · Fabric Loader 0.19.0+ · Fabric API (required)
- Java 21
- Mod Menu (optional, adds a config button)
