About this project

What does CMD + Delete add?

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

  1. If you use this mod on Windows or Linux, and you don't use custom mappings, nothing will change from vanilla Minecraft.
  2. 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! :)
  3. 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.

Builtin Mappings' Shortcuts

By default, CMD + Delete will detect if you're using macOS, and if you are it'll set you to those shortcuts, otherwise it will set you to use Windows/Linux shortcuts.

Action macOS Windows / Linux
Delete previous word option + backspace ctrl + backspace
Delete next word option + delete ctrl + delete
Delete to start of line cmd + backspace N/A
Delete to end of line cmd + delete N/A
Move to previous word option + ctrl +
Move to next word option + ctrl +
Move to start of line cmd + home
Move to end of line cmd + end
Move to start of text cmd + ctrl + home
Move to end of text cmd + ctrl + end
Select to previous word option + shift + ctrl + shift +
Select to next word option + shift + ctrl + shift +
Select to start of line cmd + shift + shift + home
Select to end of line cmd + shift + shift + end
Select to start of text cmd + shift + ctrl + shift + home
Select to end of text cmd + shift + ctrl + shift + end
Select up one line shift + shift +
Select down one line shift + shift +

Other Builtin Mappings

CMD + Delete also now provides these other builtin mappings:

  • builtin:emacs_windows_linux the standard Windows/Linux shortcuts for text navigation in Emacs to the best replication I can make (they're not perfect).
  • builtin:emacs_mac the standard macOS Cocoa shortcuts for text navigation in Emacs to the best replication I can make (they're not perfect).
  • builtin:readline the standard shortcuts for text navigation in GNU Readline to the best replication I can make (they're not perfect).
