Key codes

This article is a work in progress.
 
Please help expand and improve it. The talk page may contain suggestions.
This article is missing information about: Bedrock Edition keycodes for both keyboard and controller.
 
Please expand the article to include this information. Further details may exist on the talk page.
It has been suggested that this page be split into Key codes/Before 1.13.
 [discuss]
If this split affects many pages, or may potentially be controversial, do not split until a consensus has been reached.
Reason: probably would make more sense to document historical stuff on a dedicated page so it isn't mistaken for present-day information. alternatively, it could go on the Flattening's page since it too is a series of changed IDs

This is a list of key codes used by Minecraft, which are used in configuration files such as the options.txt file in the Minecraft directory.
