Equipping tool seven when chatting

Tor_Laws · February 22, 2018, 8:06pm

The issue is due I have a Norwegian keyboard I have to press “shift” and “7” to get “/” so I can chat. The issue is that while doing so it also equips tool number seven. It’s very annoying that I have to choose away tools in order to chat. This issue does occur 100% of the times I’m trying to chat with a tool at spot seven. I know a lot people with this issue and a lot of them hopes this issue will be fixed soon. Just to check out the issue you will find it pretty easy. Thank you.

After speaking with others around the Roblox community they said they agree on that this need to be fixed.

It’s dumb in general Roblox doesn’t check if you’re holding down a modifier key when you press a number, anyway.

Here’s the offending line…

          	-- Pass through keyboard hotkeys when not typing into a TextBox and not disabled (except for the Drop key)

          		local hotkeyBehavior = HotkeyFns[input.KeyCode.Value]
          		if hotkeyBehavior then
          			hotkeyBehavior(isProcessed)
          		end
          	end
          end
