Command Keys Mod FAQ

10 questions players actually ask, answered.

How do I open the config screen to set up my first hotkey?
Open Mod Menu (usually by pressing M by default), find Command Keys Mod in the list, and click on it to access the config screen where you can add new commands and assign hotkeys.
Can I use the same hotkey for multiple commands?
No, each hotkey can only be bound to one command or message. If you try to assign a hotkey that's already in use, it will overwrite the previous binding.
What's the difference between sending a command and sending a chat message?
Commands start with a forward slash (like `/gamemode creative`) and execute server/client functions, while chat messages are regular text sent to the chat without a slash and will be visible to other players.
Do my hotkeys work in single-player and multiplayer servers?
Yes, hotkeys work in both single-player worlds and multiplayer servers, but commands you send must be allowed by the server—some servers restrict certain commands for regular players.
Can I use hotkeys that conflict with other mods or Minecraft's default controls?
It's possible but not recommended, as conflicting hotkeys may cause unpredictable behavior; try to choose keys that aren't already bound to other mods or game functions.
Will my hotkey settings save if I close the game?
Yes, all your hotkey configurations are saved automatically and will persist when you restart the game.
Can I bind hotkeys to commands that require arguments, like teleporting to specific coordinates?
Yes, you can include the full command with all arguments in the config—for example, `/tp @s 100 64 200` will work as a hotkey.
What happens if I press a hotkey while typing in chat?
The hotkey will still execute and send your command or message, potentially interrupting what you were typing; close the chat box first if you want to avoid this.
Does this mod work on Fabric and Quilt servers?
This mod is designed for Fabric and Quilt clients; it won't affect server-side functionality, so you can use it on any server regardless of what the server runs.
How do I delete a hotkey I no longer need?
Open the config screen through Mod Menu, find the hotkey entry you want to remove, and delete the text or use the mod's removal option if available, then save your changes.
