Add a hotkey for "Show Orientation Indicator"

As a Roblox developer, it is currently too hard to quickly view the orientation of many parts. We view the orientation of parts very frequently, but there is no hotkey / shortcut available to show and hide the orientation indicator. Instead we need to go to the explorer, right click the instance, and press show/hide orientation indicator.

If Roblox is able to address this issue, it would improve my development experience because it would speed up this process a lot. In restaurant tycoon 2, the orientation of things is very important because it is a building game, so we would get significant time savings

Even a difficult hotkey like Ctrl + Shift +O or Ctrl + O would do the job perfectly.

Thanks!

your suggestion makes a lot of sense! having to right-click and toggle orientation indicators manually is definitely a slow process, especially for games like restaurant tycoon 2 where part orientation is so important. adding a hotkey like ctrl+shift+o or ctrl+o would make it so much faster to toggle and would save a lot of time for developers working with many parts. hopefully roblox can implement this because it would be a simple but super effective improvement. thanks for bringing this up im all for it!

You can use the Customize Shortcuts menu to map a hotkey for this:

I thought there already was a default hotkey for it, ctrl+b, unless I forgot that I set it myself back when orientation indicators became a thing.

But if there isn’t a default for it, there definitely could be.

( Now if only my hotkeys would stop breaking all the time )

This doesn’t work until it’s been enabled once using the context menu
