Better Selection
This is a Fabric mod for Minecraft that makes text more pleasant to select by improving the "move by word" feature (Ctrl+← and Ctrl+→).
Q&A
Does it support non-left-to-right scripts?
Yes, it does.
Does it support macOS?
Yes, macOS should be supported properly:
- ⌘ Command+← moves the cursor to the beginning of the line,
- ⌘ Command+→ moves the cursor to the end of the line,
- ⌘ Command+⌫ Backspace deletes everything to the left of the cursor,
- ⌘ Command+⌦ Delete deletes everything to the right of the cursor,
- Shortcuts that use Ctrl on Windows use ⌥ Option on macOS.
Does it fix MC-121278?
No, it does not. But I made another mod that does: Universal Shortcuts.
