Player Specific activation commands

I think that there should be a option that makes the command work only for whoever activated the command. Something that would work like /give minecraft.diamond_sword @{option}, which would give the sword to the player that pressed the button, regardless of whether there was another player closer or not. It would make some maps work better as sometimes there are redstone workings that take more than 5 seconds to work and it would allow for the player to walk away instead of standing close to the button/lever/hopper they activated, and would stop other players from stealing that sword from the person who activated the command block.

    I don't think this should be added. A button translates player input into a redstone signal, but once the redstone signal is sent it is impossible to find out who pressed the button. You can't "trace" the redstone signal back to the button that started it, much less trace the press of a button to who pressed it. What you want is a target selector that targets the player that activated the command which is @s. When a command block activates, "the player that activated the command" is the command block itself, which is why @s doesn't apply. The redstone signal didn't activate the command; the player that pressed the button didn't activate the command; the command block itself activated the command.

    Like others have said, you can use JSON text to circumvent this because clicking JSON text means that you, the clicker, ran the command, so @s would apply there.

    Just put /give @s diamond_sword on the command block, it will activate whoever presses it
