Rename ‘Shift Lock’ to ‘Camera Lock’

As a Roblox developer, it is currently too hard to understand why the camera lock feature is still named “Shift Lock”.

Many games on the platform rely on this camera-locking feature, and most of them use the default shift key for its activation, hence why it’s called Shift Lock. However, some developers have repurposed the Shift key for another feature within their game which, in turn, means they most likely have changed the activation key to another, like Alt or Control, thus losing it’s Shift component.

If Roblox is able to address this issue, it would improve my development experience because, well, I’m not exactly sure. But, it would let me sleep in peace.

I hope this change is considered. Please share any thoughts or opinions that you may have.

Thank you.
