@a, @e, @p, etc.

When I use @p in a command, sometimes the person who activates the Command Block is not always the closest. I would like there to be an option that is different from @a (all players), @e (all entities), @p (nearest player), @r (random player), and @s (self) so that you can only effect the player who activated the Command Block.

Example: /tp @o (operator, player who activated Command Block) x y z

    This is a highly requested feature but commands don't have the ability to "trace back" through the physical world to find who activated it. This has been requested many times before but I don't think it'll be coming soon. @p (nearest player) is the closest you'll get to that.

    I know I'm really late, but..

    There's an @initiator command that targets the player, but it only works with the NPC mob (Bedrock) So perhaps you could interact with a hidden npc that runs the command, but it's not a good solution.

    The closest way we have to do what you require is by using @a along with scoreboards. For example, you can apply an effect to all players (@a) who have reached a specific score, like:

      /execute if entity @a[scores={objective1=1}] run effect give @a[scores={objective1=1}] minecraft:regeneration 5

    and then reset their score after applying the desired effect with:

      /scoreboard players reset @a[scores={objective1=1}]

    That's my proposal to achieve that. I'm sorry for commenting so late haha.
