Core Behavior
CYAE extends key handling and keybinding lookup so tri-modifier actions only trigger when Ctrl + Shift + Alt are down.
Client Mixins
5
Key screen, lookup, key mapping, and keyboard handler hooks.
Language Keys
2
Custom category + action label shown in controls UI.
Persistent Store
1
Tri-modifier mapping file saved in the Forge config directory.
Input Handling Flow
- Assign a key in Controls while holding
Ctrl + Shift + Alt. - CYAE stores the binding in its tri-modifier properties file.
- Lookup filters tri-bind actions when tri modifiers are not down.
- Key down state is forced false if tri modifiers are missing.
- Display text is rewritten to show
Ctrl + Shift + Alt + Key.
Keybind Rules
These are the behavior rules CYAE enforces at runtime for keybinding assignment and activation.
| Action | Input | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Alternative Escape | Ctrl + Shift + Alt + Esc in-game |
Opens pause screen and cancels default handling. |
| Tri-bind assignment | Set key while all 3 modifiers are held | Binding is stored as tri-modifier-enabled. |
| Tri-bind clear | Press Esc while selecting a key |
Binding is removed from tri-modifier store. |
| Modifier key only | Attempt to bind just Ctrl/Shift/Alt |
Ignored for tri-bind capture. |
| Tri-bind activation | Key pressed without all modifiers | Action does not trigger. |
CYAE behavior is client-side and focused on input handling rather than content progression systems.
Binding Search
Search known CYAE behavior patterns by context, trigger, or label keyword.
| Binding | Context | Trigger |
|---|---|---|
| Alternative Escape | In-game | Ctrl + Shift + Alt + Esc |
| Tri-Modifier Assign | Controls Screen | Select key while holding all modifiers |
| Tri-Modifier Clear | Controls Screen | Press Esc while selecting a key |
| Display Label Rewrite | Controls Screen | Shows Ctrl + Shift + Alt + key |
| Lookup Filtering | Input Lookup | Tri bindings hidden unless modifiers are down |
| Down-State Guard | Key State | Key returns not-pressed without all modifiers |
These rows are documentation summaries of CYAE input behavior, not data-driven recipe content.
