Ability to Disable double tap to sprint

Now that there is a dedicated button for sprint it gets really annoying that you cannot toggle off double tapping W or rapidly moving left stick twice to sprint. Just adding the option to turn this feature off would really help.

    I play with toggle sprint, but double tap w makes it so you walk for a split second while sprinting and makes a nauseating effect by the slow down and speed up, please let us disable double tap sprint

    I have been playing the Bedrock edition on the Xbox One and this is still not an option as far as I can see. I can not tell you how many times this "feature" has really screwed me over. I honestly do not see them lifting a finger for this issue either and I say that because they have continuted to ignore this post that was from 2019 and still sees attention to this day.

    In PvP, it is very annoying to have to double-tap the forward's button to run making w tapping extremely hard.

    If you could add an option to disable walking it would be very helpful to many people who have and haven't viewed this post, thanks.

    I smashed the keyboard after my character threw himself into the lava because of the double-tap sprint.

    There is no way to get back that diamonds gear set. Literally, I feel I got lynched by Mojang.

    Why do I have to get suffered for the character's sudden outbursting madness? Please let users decide.

    I think I need a rest away from Minecraft for a while.

    Driving me crazy that this still isn't a thing. There's mods to fix it in Java edition, but not Bedrock. Like another comment brought up, sprinting doesn't just occur when double-tapping W, it also happens if you hold W and tap A/D. Why in the world did someone think that was a good idea?

    Just went careening into the floor of a ravine because I was trying to inch forward. For a game that's been out this long it's ridiculous that there's no option to disable this.

    Please, please just let us disable this terrible "feature". It's so annoying (especially considering the fact that it takes the left and right movement keys into account) that it's actually turning me off from playing the Windows version anymore. I'm clearly not the only one too, judging from this thread.

    The double tap to sprint behavior is problematic with a controller where the value drifts a little bit when pressed fully forward. The game will interpret the instability in the stick reading as a double tab and turn sprinting on and off in weird ways causing a stuttering type of movement. Using the dedicated sprint key does not mitigate this issue. The only thing that will fix this is to disable the double tap forward to sprint behavior.

    Here we are in 2023 and this still isn't fixed. I just threw myself off a cliff because of this double-tap nonsense because I'm used to playing games where I can move around a lot without worrying about sprinting suddenly from fast WASD movements. Pathetic.

    Please for the love of God make this a thing, the stick drift on my controller makes me sprint every 2 seconds and it drives me crazy, I can't afford another controller

    This is like a 2-point task at most, and certainly should be something users can opt out of. Some people micro-adjust when they move, and don't want to accidentally sprint off cliffs. Come on, folks, let's get this option in there.

    Just wanna be another voice in the crowd. it's so frustrating to accidentally sprint when you're carefully navigating high up where small errors can result in death

    stop-and-go-actions are just not possible. It will always result in a stop-and-sprint. Seems like a minor problem but it's not especially in situations where you don't want to sprint, like at edges of high builds or on farmland. Please also disable Auto-Jump by default.

    PLEASE add this!! This feature is the main reason I dont play this game, it is very annoying! I dont understand why im able to rebind sprint, but i cant disable double tap sprint. I would much rather my analog stick be a normal stick, the constant go stop go with the sprint when i dont even want to sprint is very unintuitive and forces me to play a very specific way, like im walking on eggshells all the time. I would like to move around as much as I'd like without the worry. I play on PlayStation 4, please please please add this!! Complete rebind and toggle would make this a more comfortable and enjoyable experience for me. Thank you
