Can you show ctrl-click not working? We definitely have this functionality.
Is this because you want to jump back to the selection, or is there another use case you have in mind? Because for the former, you can now press “F” to jump to your most recent selection.
Note , i forgot they was added my request just for now
This has nothing to do with Downloads folder. It has to do with which UI technology the UI in question was built with.
The Windows Explorer has a fresh set of paint in Windows 11 but it’s still built with old style Win32 UI. Anything built with modern metro UI like the settings menu or the updated Notepad application does not have the behavior you’re talking about. It’s only old things built with Win32 UI that have the behavior you’re talking about.

I love QoL improvements. Little things that most people don’t think of but everyone can appreciate.

When I do CTRL + Z on the Explorer text field it doesn’t trigger undo, instead it seems to want to trigger redo, because it thinks I am pressing Y and not Z, but I am pressing Z.
My keyboard layout is QWERTZ and not QWERTY.
Also, when I click on Workspace and click on the letter S, it doesn’t go to ServerScriptService unlike the Old Explorer.
I wonder if there is an RFC somewhere for lists.
e.g. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/select does this support
maybe here?

It seems to be called “Type-ahead”. If Roblox wants to do a clean Qt replica then they should inherit all of that.

Nice catch on the visibility settings, the interaction between settings is subtly different, that was not intentional.

+1 on the second point.
itd also be great if disabled ParticlemEmitters/Beams/Trails could have a darker tint to their icons, to let users know theyre disabled at a glance.

while focused on a script in the main window, you cant duplicate objects in the explorer even if you click on them and do the keybind. just open a script and try to duplicate something with the keybind after clicking on it
I could give you a workaround, but I am not sure how it will look like. Personally, the workaround works, but I don’t like it…
So, you can influence Studio’s DPI behavior in some sort of way. I am not sure how good this actually is, because this method doesn’t work on the Roblox Client.
This changes QT_SCALE_FACTOR_ROUNDING_POLICY when ran with that .bat
.bat file
@echo off
setlocal
for /f "usebackq tokens=2*" %%a in (`reg query "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\roblox-studio\DefaultIcon" /ve 2^>nul`) do set iconPath=%%b
if "%iconPath%"=="" (
echo Path not found
goto :eof
)
set iconPath=%iconPath:"=%
set QT_SCALE_FACTOR_ROUNDING_POLICY=RoundPreferFloor
:: Run
start "" "%iconPath%"
:end:
There’s also other options you can try, but again. I don’t really see them as working solutions, I don’t know how good they interact with Studio and especially Roblox’s UI stuff.
https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/highdpi.html if it would be Qt 6, you’d have to choose Qt 6.
This option for me actually breaks the Old Explorer’s spacing and some other stuff, while fixing a few things. It’s a forceful toggle and breaks things.

I don’t like it, can i switch it back to the old one?
I dislike that i have to go through sub-menu to access features i use frequently
is there a way for me to set those features to not be in a sub-menu?
Go to Beta feature and disable it to revert back

It did change since some people were complaining about how it was too small and blurry (Same with the + icon to insert)

I don’t have a plugin named “ExplorerPlugin” or anything like that so not sure why I get this error when using ctrl+click to select multiple parts. Didn’t happen with old UI
When editing a script, certain keybinds fail to work unless I exit said script and return to the viewport window.
The ones I know of so far are:
Duplicate
Delete
Group into folder
am i missing something or is there really still no ‘save as local plugin’? kinda important!
a second note since im here, rather than compromise on a set hierarchy density and please nobody, why not make it customizable and please everybody :D.

It’s set to only show up when selecting a Script or Folder since almost all plugins use one of those two as their root Instance type. Though that’s possibly too restrictive.
What Instance type were you trying to save?

compromising speed for readability in menus is the right move imo. Otherwise u overwhelm new users who rely on these menus for all functionality, and bottleneck yourself on future features. Experienced users should be using keybinds. that’s my take at least.

Please tell me this is gonna be toggleable and not forced. I compared those two and the old explorer is way nicer to use and less horrid.

Not just that, the context menu in the old Explorer was literally so long that you couldn’t see the whole thing on smaller laptop screens 
There’s a debate to be had about what to show at the top level but some stuff had to go (into submenus).
