How do I move a model/part using keyboard inputs?

Help and Feedback Building Support

I can drag using mouse, but is there a way to use the keyboard to move things?

2

Not that I know of. Is there a reason why you’re not using a mouse?

I’m doing something VERY repetitive that would be simply quicker with keyboard shortcuts.
I.e. I’m moving a part by a single stud in one direction within a model.

Mouse is too imprecise (I could drag too far, too short, etc.). Keyboard doesn’t have that problem.

you could use UserInputService or ContextActionService, they both have ways to detect a key, when you press W (in Enum would be Enum.KeyCode.W) then loop it with just a regular while loops or RunService if you need it to move by frame, or just increase a stud by modifying a CFrame property without a loop and that’s it.

I want to move it while IN STUDIO. I don’t need scripting support.

6

oh then that’s not possible zzzzzzzzz, it’s only possible by a mouse as far as ive heard rn

7

Only way to do it is via a script (as previously mentioned by others). In which case, this should be under Scripting Support.

8

well that sucks. feature request it is then.

press 2 (or ctrl+2) and use move tool;
No any other ways;
I also don’t see any reason for it to be a feature anyway.
You could make a plugin to do that tho.
