When pressing cycling buttons in vanilla screens, such as the create new world screen's game mode button, the options can be navigated forward (e.g. survival to hardcore) by clicking or navigated backwards (e.g. hardcore to survival) by clicking while holding down the shift key. However, this is not possible with the 7 buttons in the terminal screen, creating an inconsistency in user interface functionality.

This behavior occurs in at minimum version 1.6.10 with Fabric and Minecraft 1.20.4. The vanilla behavior has existed since at least Minecraft snapshot 20w46a.
