Improve PluginAction

[ToldFable (fable)]

As a Roblox developer, it is currently too hard to have Plugin shortcuts without having the user manually modify things in Studio settings.

If Roblox is able to address this issue, it would improve my development experience because Plugins could be plug-and-play and less clunky.

Problem in focus:

I was recently working on a plugin that modifies Studio’s default camera controls.
The plugin allows users to control their camera speed using the scroll wheel on their mouse.

The plugin is missing a small creature comfort: There’s a really nice “Zoom to” feature that comes with default Studio. Users can select a model and press F to teleport their camera over to whatever they have selected.

There’s no discernible way to replicate this behavior in my custom camera. I need to know when the user presses “F” on their keyboard, but it seems there’s no way for my plugin to do that (without having the plugin’s installation process be laborious)

How do you detect pressing F in Studio plugin? (how do you get a pre-existing Plugin Action?)

I’m working on a plugin that replaces Studio’s default camera movement with some custom movement. There’s a really convenient studio feature where you can select a model and press F on your keyboard to teleport your camera to that model. That feature uses Studio’s PluginAction feature.

EDIT:
Another use-case:

Show Key Presses V1 - Initial Plugin Release!

I’ve recently finished making this plugin that displays the keys which you press in studio, and I’m pretty proud of it: https://www.roblox.com/library/6544391806/Show-Key-Presses You’re probably wondering how on earth this could be useful. Thankfully, you are not the only one who asked that question. This plugin is designed for YouTubers and development tutorial creators who build or use some form of complex key presses in the studio viewport. This should be able to save them from having to w…

Sorry for bumping I was researching why UIS:IsKeyDown() not working… The year is 2024(close to 2025) and there been rarely any improvement to Plugin I just really really wish making plugin is like do this and it work instead I have to research for every topic of it work in-game but not in plugin. I hope this get picked up by pure chance.
