On a Macbook, It's good to use "fn" key as sprint key. It's easy to use than the Ctrl key.
I use it all the time in old versions of Minecraft on my Mac. But it doesn't work now. Please bring it back.

Yes, in 1.12.2. and all past versions can use "Fn" key. Not like a PC keyboard, ctrl on the left corner . Fn key is on the bottom left corner on a Mac keyboard, the ctrl key is on the right of it. So it's more easy to use it as sprint key.
The engine of snapshot version looks changed a lot, I don't know why the new one can't access this key. But I think this function is really convenient to our mac user.

Usually the Fn key is only to access other keys on your keyboard, so it's actually not a real key. At least it's like that on Windows, I have no clue how it works on macOS.
Also, just to make sure: You were use the Fn key as a control setting in 1.12.2, right? Is that what you mean by "old versions"?
