How to Make Ctrl+Q Drop a Full Stack Instead of One Item on Mac

On Windows and Linux, Control+Q drops the entire stack you are holding. On macOS, the same keybind often drops only a single item because the Control modifier is not detected with the Q keypress. The MacOS Input Fixes Mod restores the expected behavior so Control+Q drops the whole stack.

Confirming the fix

1. Load into a world with the mod active.

2. Select a stack in your hotbar and hold Control, then press Q.

3. The entire stack should drop as one item entity rather than a single unit.

4. Release Control and press Q alone to confirm a single item still drops normally.

If it still drops one item

• Check Options → Controls and make sure the Drop key is still bound to Q and not remapped.
• Verify no other mod overrides the drop key or the Control modifier.
• Look at macOS System Settings → Keyboard → Modifier Keys and ensure Control is not swapped with another key.
• Restart Minecraft after any keybind change, since modifier handling is initialized at launch.

Related modifier shortcuts

With Control detection fixed, other Control-based shortcuts in inventories and crafting also behave correctly, so you can rely on the same muscle memory you use on other platforms.
