Minecraft has some behaviour that is special-cased on macOS, so that it "Thinks different" like the rest of the OS. Unfortunately, some of these changes are unintuitive and break existing functionality.
The changes currently overridden to "Think same" with every other platform are:
- Holding
ctrlwill not cause left click to become right click - You can drop stacks with
ctrl+qlike on every other platform (cmd+qwould just quit the game, so it was completely broken functionality) - The
cmdkey is not used for cut, copy, and paste shortcuts.[^1]
[^1]: This is a side-effect of the implementation of the other overrides. Fixing this would be possible, but would require extra effort to support all versions, and so is not worth the effort in my opinion. If someone would like to see this fixed, they are welcome to email me a patch or fork the mod themselves.
