ALT+P shortcut will sometimes not work until you publish through top bar menu

[aaron_mccoy (PleaseDontBanAaron)]

For some reason on random occasions, ALT+P will simply not work for publishing until I publish from the top bar “File->PublishToRoblox”

Video proof:

I also have this issue. Although it is somewhat nice because I often press Alt + P out of habit even when I don’t necessarily wanna publish, lol.

Can you think of any consistent steps to reproduce? Does it seem to happen after doing some particular sequence of things?

[Kampfkarren (boyned)]

It’s as written–Alt+P does nothing until you click File > Publish.

I have been having this same issue lately! Thank you for posting. I thought my ALT key was broken.

I’ve also been having issues with the studio camera not moving when I scroll my mouse. I found a fix for it which only works some of the time.

This happens to me to, when on the latest version of roblox studio. None of my studio keybinds work, and I would have to manually do everything.

There’s no reproduces stepes because I don’t even know how I got here.

I have reported this issue as well. It seems to be related to the Faster Solo Play beta feature. It was reported awhile ago, but I can’t find the report now.

EDIT: Found it

Various aspects of Studio UI keep reverting and resetting

I’ve narrowed it down to not working until you press the file button to open the menu. Once you do that it will work. It started happening 1-2 months ago. I’ve also been having this issue with some shortcuts too. For example, i have set Alt+O as my shortcut to displaying/hiding the orientation indicator of a part. It wont work unless i open the “right click” menu for any of instances that have it (so a basepart). It doesnt have to be that exact part, but unless i open it it wont work. Same thing for the shortcuts i have asigned to select children (ctrl + ñ) and select parents (ctrl + shift + ñ). They wont work until i open the right click menu that “displays the options” and then they will work all the time. Happens regardless of what key combo i set it to.

This just happened to me. I just lost HOURS of work because I had been pressing Alt + P the entire time, and studio crashed. I came back to the world to find nothing in it. Turns out you have to click it in the menu now. Also, the game despite saying it made auto recovery files for the place, NONE EXIST. I am back to square one and need to rebuild an ENTIRE map for a game. THANK YOU ROBLOX, YOU’RE THE BEST EVER

I’m bumping this again, as it is still not fixed on my part and it’s extremely annoying.

[Bulldo344 (LawMixer)]

An update on this is @MeshOfPaul, more details:

Things I’ve tried

• Disabled all of my roblox plugins and roblox betas and it still didn’t do anything;
• Enabling/Disabling “Respect Studio shortcuts when game has focus”, it did nothing;

What has worked
Pressing “File” tab, and it will automatically fix itself for that Studio session, and if you switch places, it goes right where I started which is extremely annoying.

Technical Details

Reproduction Steps

• Launch Roblox Studio;
• Go to a place;
• Press ALT + P for your publish keybind;
• Boom, it doesn’t work;

Let me know if you need anything else, as this impacts my workflow greatly. Thank you again.

I’ve been experiencing this some time myself. It’s an issue. The P is recognized, but the ALT isn’t…so when I hit ALT-P, it prints a p into the script. Initially, I thought it was related to the Faster Solo Play beta feature. In fact, at the time, it seemed to, but now I’m not so sure.

[MeshOfPaul (Paul)]

Thanks! That team has this in their queue says there should be a fix within the next couple weeks.

[SlimenderYT]

I really hope this gets fixed soon because roblox does’nt allow you to insert stuff into all your games places workspace / anything at once. So, I have to manually load up each place and paste the new gui inside starter gui and now it’s only going to take longer since I can’t click Alt+P to publish.

[Bulldo344 (LawMixer)]

Hey, just following up - my team & I have been experiencing this since ~15d and has impacted our development workflow and has not been fixed. The solution I’ve put up, no longer works and if you ALT+P (to publish to Studio) while in a roblox script, it will type “p” in your script which is not feasible.

Thank you for the update and I look forward to this being fixed! Much appreciated.

[MeshOfPaul (Paul)]

I just checked the ticket for this and the fix has been tested/verified. It looks like it is slated to go out this week with version 629.

[Bulldo344 (LawMixer)]

We did it! It has been fixed this update, thank you @MeshOfPaul very appreciated!

Release Notes for 629

Hi everyone, and happy June 13. We’re just one week away from the northern hemisphere’s summer solstice, the longest the day of the year for approximately 90% of us. This variability in the length of our days, humanity’s ability to quite literally take the dark with the light as we move through the seasons, is just one of the many advantages of living on a planet with an axial tilt. Known issue: Some release notes are indeed being duplicated week over week. We’re looking into it.
