New Studio Command: Group as a Folder

I absolutely love this addition. Something really simple but extremely useful. I find myself using folders for most things these days.

What would be an interesting feature would be some kind of macro editor for Studio, so that users can define actions to be run using custom keybinds. I think this would really improve a lot of the tedious things with Studio; although this may already be possible with the likes of Plugins.

This should be a great update then! I have been annoyed in the past where I wanted to group some values together but had to create a new folder and drag them in which I guess was ok but just slows down work flow a bit.

It is in addition to the key binds. Model group command still stays so you don’t have to worry about it :slightly_smiling_face:

You’re probably referring to the Studio Design Refresh - Docking Overhaul & Ribbon Upgrade changes which rolled out to everyone this week, please comment with any particular issues on that thread.

Glad this is finally a thing! I personally have updated my keybind to Ctrl+F as when trying to reach for multiple keys like Ctrl+Alt+G does wrap my fingers around it.

Not sure if anyone else got that struggle I be trying to use putting my finger placement like this

CTRL - Pinky Finger
ALT - Thumb
G - Index Finger

I seems more convenient to have to set to Ctrl+F as its a unused keybind.

One of the big uses of folders is organizing scripting elements, which you will often be doing in with a script document open, so Ctrl+F which conflicts with Find there is off the table.

We were more interested in having consistency in the shortcuts (Ctrl+G, Ctrl+Shift+G and now Ctrl+Alt+G all perform grouping operations of some kind) than maximum ease of use, since as you point out you can remap it to something easier to hit with one hand if it is something you plan on using a lot.

We’re also planning on introducing more Studio shortcuts for navigation in the near future, so the shortcut real-estate will become a bit more pressured than it has been historically.

I really like this feature, I’m sure it’ll come in handy. It was super annoying to have to shove all the items into a folder manually.

Is there options for swapping the Ctrl + G and Ctrl + Alt/Opt +G? Because I sometimes prefer folder over model, since I am not usually working with building.

Perhaps a better question: When will there be options for rebinding key commands?

The Roblox Team has been pumping out updates hourly :scream: Little features like this make a huge change thank you, keep it up!!!

New feature is cool, i like it.

This is a great change - but just to confirm, will this keybind be rebindable?

Yup, every context menu / ribbon bar command’s shortcut can be customized (see the reply a couple above here which points out where to access shortcut customization).

So glad this is finally a feature!! I just tried it out and it’s nice you can conveniently ungroup both folders and groups with the same hotkey. I made a plugin for this some time ago and have been using it, but I find this would work so much better as I have issues with ChangeHistoryService not always working, that or my brain, heh.

Thank you srsly to whoever made this possible! :smiley:
