[Explorer Beta] Copy, Paste, and All Explorer Shortcuts Stop Working While Script Is Open

When I have a script open, the Cut, Copy and Paste actions completely break in the Explorer. All of the other Explorer-related shortcuts break, although those options still function if triggered through the context menu. If I switch back to the 3D viewport, all functionality returns.

Worth noting that in particular, Enter to rename (should be F2 but that’s already reported) does continue to function no matter what.

Studio version 0.653.0.6530693

We have this bug filed and know the root cause and how to fix it, we will hopefully have ship that early next quarter (the deadline has passed for our this year for a change like this).

The issue is that script editor hijacks the existing shortcuts in order to make sure that you can do things like press delete to remove text in the script editor. It would then pipe these events to Explorer if it suspected you were over it. We have a system in place for these kinds of contextual actions that we need to get script editor on.

Thanks!

That’s good to know, thanks! Was this issue present on the old Explorer as well and I just never noticed?

No, it’s hardcoded to work for the Qt Explorer. Very funky.

This ought to be fixed now, let me know if it isn’t. Thanks!

Just saw this reply and unfortunately the issue is not fixed for me, all of the shortcuts still seem to do nothing. Current studio version is 0.664.0.6640713. Running new studio UI beta and explorer beta.

Whoops–I forgot to deploy the second part of this fix. Will get on that ASAP :slight_smile:

I’ve updated studio to 665, restarted studio and still having this issue (explorer v0.14), was this forgotten?

Not forgotten, and likely won’t align with a Studio release anyway (Explorer deploys separately). Some other stuff getting in the way taking priority, but within a week I expect.

The fix for this will likely come Monday.

This should now be fixed if your explorer reads v0.17 (restart a few times until it does). Can you confirm?

It does say v0.17, but still doesn’t work

Dang :confused: will look into why that would be

Where should I be looking for the 0.17? I’ve opened studio a fair few times, even a force reinstall, and I haven’t seen the number appear on the Explorer header. Is it located somewhere else?

It should be in the title bar. You need to make sure all Studio windows are closed when restarting. I don’t know if there’s other systems behind it that could block it…

That being said, it doesn’t fix the issue (though I’m about to get in a fix for next Studio release that I pinky promise swear fixes it or I’m going to go nuts)

It is my strong hope that this bug is now fixed, again :slight_smile:

Can confirm that it’s fixed for explorer v0.21, however ctrl + d/g (duplicate/group as a model) are not working

And also when editing name, text becomes darker

It should be white, unsure if it was always white and not slightly dark

I believe duplicate and group is a separate issue we have tracked. And good catch on the color, I know what messed that up.

v0.23: Duplicate is working just on GuiObjects for me, Group and Ungroup are still not working for some reason and Delete also does not work :pray:
Is there any possible way for us to revert to the old explorer while waiting for new versions of this one? It’s turning out to be very annoying without those shortcuts :face_holding_back_tears:

This issue still occurs for me in v0.23 when having a script open.
