Fixes MC-122296

Fixes MC-121772

Fixes MC-59810

Fixes MC-22882

Fixes control + tab and control + escape not being detected

Specific fixes:

  • Correctly detects left click while control is pressed
  • Make trackpad scrolling not scroll a ridiculous number of items at once
  • It also fixes momentum scrolling (which changes the number of scroll events based on how quickly you did it, even by like x5-10, meaning you couldn't easily scroll to the correct item)
  • On the trackpad it also only considers scrolling while fingers are on the trackpad (and the same for any fancy mice that support the relevant api e.g. probably apple's fancy mice/trackpad thing)
  • It also fixes scrolling being broken when shift is down on some older mice.
  • When dropping an item, Minecraft checks for command + the key, since the default key is Q, this doesn't make sense, so this mod allows both control + key and command + key to work
  • Fixes control + tab and control + escape not being detected
  • Brings back inertial scrolling in intefaces on macOS

Menu Options (under Mouse Settings Screen):

  • Option for trackpad scrolling sensitivity (macOS only)
  • Option to enable momentum scrolling on hotbar (macOS only)
  • Option to disable workaround for smooth scrolling in interfaces (macOS only)
  • Option to reverse scrolling of the whole game
  • Option to reverse scrolling of the hotbar
  • Option to disable the fix for the ctrl + left click becomes right click bug (macOS only)
  • Option to lock scroll while attacking / using (useful for magic trackpad/mouse)
  • Option to revert MC-307336 to return the original saturated look (macOS only)

 

On platforms other than macOS, the mod does nothing (except the aformentioned menu options), so it can be safely included in any modpack.

Requires Fabric Loader 0.18.5+

Requires Minecraft 1.14+

NOTE!

If you get an error like the following, you need to update Fabric Launcher to the version specified above. Some launchers may require you to update fabric launcher, remove macos input fixes mod fully, and then re-add macos input fixes mod. See github.com/hamarb123/MCMacOSInputFixes/issues/60 for the original issue. Note that the "More details" section is very misleading, and parts around it about my mod should be ignored (try disabling it, after the steps before for re-installing, if you are still getting errors to confirm that it is actually an issue with this mod).

And yes, I know I need a better icon ;)
