About this Mod
Tap Tab
Tap Tab allows player to cycle the hotbar through inventory. Double-tap the ⇥ Tab key and see what happens!
Double-tapping ⇥ Tab moves all the lines of slots in your inventory down with a fabulous animation, including the hotbar. You can access the first line above the hotbar each time by doing this, and keep tapping ⇥ Tab in a short period of time can cycle again without the need of double-tapping. After a cycle of 4 times, your hotbar will be in the original position again.
Holding ⇧ Left Shift while tapping ⇥ Tab will cycle in another direction, which enables you to access the first line below the hotbar(which equals to the third line above the hotbar) each time.
Holding ⌥ Left Alt (Left Option) while tapping ⇥ Tab will only cycle the column where the main hand slot is.
All the keys mentioned above can be configured in the Key Binds option page.
