# Better Selection<\/p>\n

This is a Fabric mod for Minecraft that makes text more pleasant to select by improving the “move by word” feature (Ctrl<\/kbd>+\u2190<\/kbd> and Ctrl<\/kbd>+\u2192<\/kbd>).<\/p>\n

## Q&A<\/p>\n

### Does it support non-left-to-right scripts?<\/p>\n

Yes, it does.<\/p>\n

### Does it support macOS?<\/p>\n

Yes, macOS should be supported properly:
\n– \u2318 Command<\/kbd>+\u2190<\/kbd> moves the cursor to the beginning of the line,
\n– \u2318 Command<\/kbd>+\u2192<\/kbd> moves the cursor to the end of the line,
\n– \u2318 Command<\/kbd>+\u232b Backspace<\/kbd> deletes everything to the left of the cursor,
\n– \u2318 Command<\/kbd>+\u2326 Delete<\/kbd> deletes everything to the right of the cursor,
\n– Shortcuts that use Ctrl<\/kbd> on Windows use \u2325 Option<\/kbd> on macOS.<\/p>\n

### Does it fix MC-121278?<\/p>\n

No, it does not. But I made another mod that does: Universal Shortcuts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
