(Java Parity) Add all Java's UI shortcuts to Bedrock

under review

Inventory/containers:

  • Hovering over an item and tapping 0-9 moves the item to that hotbar slot
  • Middle clicking an item in creative clones the item
  • Shift + double click to move all of the same item type across containers
  • "X" slot in creative inventory to delete items, shift + clicking it clears inventory
  • In creative inventory, typing should automatically start typing in the search box (especially when I just clicked the search icon or pressed T to bring up the search bar)
  • F to swap item between mainhand/offhand
  • X + 0-9 to load hotbar
  • C + 0-9 to save hotbar

Text:

  • Ctrl + arrow keys to move cursor over whole words at once (MCPE-28492)
  • Ctrl + backspace to delete whole words at once
  • Ctrl + X to cut text
  • Show what text is selected (e.g: highlight in blue)

Function buttons:

  • F2 to take a screenshot (and display clickable link)
  • F3 to open debug info
  • F3 + A to reload chunks
  • F3 + T to reload edited packs
  • F3 + P to toggle auto-pause
  • F3 + H to toggle default item descriptions (IDs, damage values)
  • F3 + C to copy coordinates to chat
  • F3 + B to show hitboxes
  • F3 + D to clear chat
  • F3 + N to toggle between creative and spectator (when spectator is added)
  • F3 + G to show chunk boundaries
  • F11 to toggle fullscreen

Main menus:

  • Shift + arrow keys to reorganize servers

I've listed the mouse/keyboard combos that Java uses, but many of these shortcuts could also be implemented for touch/controllers. E.G: Long-press an item in creative to clone it, or double-tap on the X slot to clear inventory,

    These are no-brainer interactions that I find myself constantly missing when playing Bedrock edition.

    PLEASE add the inventory shortcuts, I beg you, inventory management is incredibly slow without them D:

    I really just want the mass move (shift + double click) but with controller, on bedrock

    It is completely baffling to me that PC users are still gimped by console limitations.
    Inventory management is extremely important in a game like this.

    Also for controllers add a deadzone slider please. We have no precision and it’s impossible for us to compete against pc players.
