Many popup windows do not respond to keyboard

Bug Reports Studio Bugs
#1

Reproduction Steps

Example:
Change something in a Package Linked object and publish to Roblox

Expected Behavior

This popup window (and many others in Studio) should respond to the keyboard (left and right arrows to change buttons, Enter to confirm, etc).

Actual Behavior

For example, the popup window to delete breakpoints is keyboard responsive:

However, the window to publish changes (and many others) is not keyboard responsive:

nsD1e4xjOV

You must maintain a STANDARDIZATION of keyboard behavior for all Studio windows.

Workaround

I am obliged to use the mouse in cases where the keyboard does not work.

Issue Area: Studio
Issue Type: Other
Impact: Moderate
Frequency: Constantly

This isn’t only good for commodity but also accessibility. People with certain mobility issues might find it hard to work with a mouse and would have an easier time navigating everything with keyboard shortcuts.

I think if you had tested it before asking, you would see that the problem still persists:

I would like to add, that in the new Roblox desktop app, the search does not properly respond to keyboard input.

On the website, you can do a search, and use arrow-down key, to select other items in the dropdown.

Not so, on the new Roblox desktop app, where keyboard accessibility does not seem to have been a design parameter.

Unfortunately there’s not a single or simple fix here to get universal keyboard navigation in all windows. But we have been keeping keyboard nav in mind as we are working on the new UI systems and Studio architecture. We also have a Shortcuts overhaul on the later part of the 2024 roadmap where we should be able to make some progress in this area.
