Attempting to bind (unusual) alternative keys as the open/close inventory keybind causes the rebound key to only open, requiring use of ESC to close. This can be particularly tedious for those using right-sides of a keyboard.
In my personal use-example, I utilize a side mouse button (MOUSE5 or MOUSE4) as my inventory open/close bind, but it will only open, will not close.
I am pretty certain this is directly relative to MC-145691, though why that was fixed without impact on this bug I'm not sure.
For what it's worth this bug at least with the mouse buttons has been around years, just never got around to reporting it until now (finally bugged me enough).

Ah thanks on referencing that, I did try looking but my use of terms inventory and close mostly just kept bringing up ones related around other keys (or the original tab one), and since a dev said about opening up a new report in MC-145691 (but the person they said it to apparently never did), figured I'd open one up. Seems there's a surprising amount of inventory binding issues with all sorts of buttons over the years lol.
