*This is Purely an Idea I have no intent of Trying to Create this Myself as I am not skilled enough to do so, and if something like this exists I could not find it anywhere and please tell me if it does*
How it Would Work :
So after getting really annoyed with many controls in modpacks, or just while using a few mods themselves, I run out of control room, I'm sure there is plenty of mods that help with this problem, however I specifically would find a Control Wheel type of thing for all of my controls very useful, for example, you hold a key, a wheel pops up with any controls you assigned to the wheel, you can create different wheels, with different names, and all wheels will be assigned to different keys, now I'm not sure how hard this would be to accomplish creation wise, but I don't think it'd be TOO difficult, but I could be completely wrong (definitely not something I could do), for example, many mods add keys that do practically all the same things, like emotions, or special attack keys for a special weapon, you could set a wheel named "Emotions" and then you could set all the emotions from the mod, except the controls are set to this wheel instead of an actual control, you hover over the emotion you want to use, and click it, this would be extremely helpful and easier for many players to use than the usual way of settings controls, at least I would personally prefer it, as I could have more hot keys for actually important things, and less for random controls I want to use only a few times.
Now this is just some other random junk I had thought of that is not really necessary but may be helpful:
There could as well be a config file (I mean obviously), where you can set the amount of commands a player can have per wheel, with blacklisted commands for wheels, and even potentially a cooldown for commands? (Mostly useful for server owners perhaps) the last one was kinda going out on a stretch. The Circle GUI that would appear would show the Current Keybind whatever Control you are looking at is set to, and the name of the control, both copying the name and keybind from your controls, if no keybind it'd just say none (as coming from the controls menu), and also the name of the wheel, on the bottom or top. The only other thing I had imagined (That is completely useless) was customization of the GUI (Changing Color of the Letters like the Keybind and the Name of the Control) and a customizable block behind each tab of the wheel (Split like a Pie Graph). The only other thing I could really ask for is the name of the mod the control comes from while in the wheel but that'd be pretty useless however it still would be pretty neat. I'll attach a really bad example of what the GUI/Circle would look like, that I made super quick.
It'd be nice if someone had the time to create this but it is very unlikely however if someone were to I'd love to know just so I could use the mod myself.
If anyone has any extra ideas or thinks this would be a nice idea then feel free to say so!

This actually a really good idea.
I always get pissed off whenever i run out of keys to use. I get sooooooo angry
So i hope someone steps up and actually develops this mod
Really good mod again
the potato looked at me. I looked at the potato. I was the last thing it was going to see.
This is actually a very good idea, looking into it...
