I am not sure if this is a bug but in order for me to sprint I have to just tap the ctrl key while holding the W key and it will only stop when I let go of the W key.
I have talked to friends who also use ctrl or other keys to sprint and they told me they can only sprint while holding down the key and when they stop holding it they walk (all while holding W).
Is this a bug on my end? If not then how can I set up my controls so that I only run when I HOLD the sprint key?

@EliteHog, the sprinting is set to hold because I'd like to stop running and just walk after not holding the sprint key anymore but it doesn't work.
Reported ctrl behavior is consistent with double-tapping W.
Once forward movement speed is switched to sprinting, the only way to revert to non-sprinting is to stop movement, bump into a block, or exhaustion due to food depletion.
If this is intented behavior, it's weird. The way it works is actually a better Toggle Sprint, as it stops when hitting obstacles or let go of Forward key. But it's not a HOLD SPRINT, the name literally implies you should hold the Sprint key to keep sprinting.
Sounds more of a bug. If intended, it should be reworked like this:
Hold Sprint: only sprint when holding the key
Toggle Sprint: press once to keep sprinting until hitting an obstacle or letting go of the Forward key
Sticky Sprint: press once to toggle between sprinting and not sprinting at all times, stopping and resuming movement remembers the set mode (current Accessibility mode of Toggle Sprint)
This is actually the intended behaviour; see MC-165192.
Please check if sprinting is set to "Toggle" in your Accessibility Settings.
