Vanilla Keys

Keybinds

Rebind or switch off the keys Minecraft hardcodes — F1 Hide GUI, F3 Debug, F5 Perspective and the F3 combinations. These are not in Controls and vanilla gives you no way to change them. Set a row to a different key to move it; press ESC while binding to switch it off entirely.
