Controls and Keys

How it works

Changing keys	Every row in the category tables can be rebound in Options, Controls, Key Binds. Toggle GUI (F1), Take Screenshot (F2), Toggle Perspective (F5) and Toggle Fullscreen (F11) are normal key bindings too.
Keys that work in menus	Take Screenshot, Toggle Fullscreen and Friends Screen also work while a menu is open. They do nothing while F3 is held.
Sprint by double tap	Tapping Walk Forward twice within 7 game ticks (0.35 seconds) starts sprinting. The window is the Sprint Window option, 0 to 10 ticks.
Flying	In a game mode that allows flying, tapping Jump twice within 7 game ticks (0.35 seconds) starts or stops flying.
Toggle Perspective	Each press moves to the next view: first person, third person from behind, third person from the front.
Saved hotbars	Creative mode only. Hold C and press 1 to 9 to save the current hotbar in that slot. Hold X and press 1 to 9 to load it.
Sneak, Sprint, Use and Attack	These four can be set to toggle instead of hold in the Controls options.
