Listen for key down event, then open a gui (1.16.4)

[Craftit7]

So, I want to listen for client pressing H and then open a custom gui. The mod is a mod that will contain custom text that will be sent in the chat, sending in chat using command "say {msg}" works, the problem here is opening a gui on key press. Can anyone help? Btw, I still don't have a custom gui, i need help on how to do that too.

Hello, I wasn't able to make what you said. Can you maybe link the docs? I really need them. Or just provide a working example of what you said.

Ok one moment please

[Craftit7]

I wasn't able to find anything about "ClientTicks".

Here is my mod main file:-
 

package com.craftit7.fpsbooster;

import org.apache.logging.log4j.LogManager;
import org.apache.logging.log4j.Logger;

import net.minecraftforge.common.MinecraftForge;
import net.minecraftforge.eventbus.api.IEventBus;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.Mod;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.event.lifecycle.FMLCommonSetupEvent;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.javafmlmod.FMLJavaModLoadingContext;

@Mod("customchatembeds")
public class FpsBooster {
	
	public static final Logger LOGGER = LogManager.getLogger();
	public static final String MOD_ID = "customchatembeds";
	
	public FpsBooster() {
		IEventBus Bus = FMLJavaModLoadingContext.get().getModEventBus();
		MinecraftForge.EVENT_BUS.register(this);
	}
	
	private void setup(final FMLCommonSetupEvent event) {}
}

you're not forced to code in eclipse. other options are IntelliJ, or VSCode (although vscode requires some setup, and therefore is not really recomended)

I do all my own coding without an IDE and had to set up Eclipse for this, too, and honestly I'm kind of loving it? The nice thing about being a stickler for simple DIY approaches is you get to fully appreciate modern conveniences when you're forced to try them. Being able to jump right to function declarations by right clicking on them has been a lifesaver for me so far!

Oh wait, I can use IntelliJ with forge modding?! That is gonna be amazing, im gonna try it
