Thanks for your patience. We’ve addressed the bug, and the beta feature is now live again. You can activate the Multi-line Command Bar feature in the Studio Beta Menu. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.

We have rolled back this beta to address a critical bug. We appreciate your valuable feedback and aim to reopen in about 2 weeks.

Hi Creators,

We’re introducing a series of features to the Studio Command Bar, making it easier to use for repetitive / complex workflows and modernizing it in general!

Developers on Roblox Studio frequently use the Command Bar to prototype scripts, automate repetitive tasks, and make bulk changes to their game environment. However, the nature of the Command Bar often limits this. One longstanding gripe is the inability to edit multi-line commands within the Command Bar. Developers often have to resort to keeping various commands in a separate tab, and paste them into the Command Bar solely for execution.

The Multi-line Command Bar project reduces friction for common developer workflows, enabling users to do more within the Command Bar and increase productivity.

With the new improvements, you will be able to

• Edit multi-line commands natively and ergonomically
• Save commands for repeated use: by clicking , you will save the current command to history, and you can find them from
• Undo/redo command execution results (as long as they aren’t permanently destructive)
• Access developer productivity features such as linting, in-line documentation, and code completion

Embedded Script Editor and Multiline Editing

The Command Bar is now an embedded script editor, which means it natively supports features like multiline editing, code assist, and linting. By default, the Command Bar will display 2 script editor lines. As you insert new lines, it will grow to a maximum of 10 lines. Once you’re ready to execute your command, you can click the “Run” button or hit Ctrl + Return.

Undo/Redo Command Execution

Make a mistake in your command? No worries! The Command Bar now integrates with the Studio-wide undo/redo functionality so you can rollback any change that isn’t permanently destructive.

Saving Your Favorite Commands

Like before, the Command Bar will save your last 10 executed commands which you can view and load by clicking on the icon and navigating to the “Recent” tab. You can also quickly scrub through your recent commands by hitting Ctrl + Up/Down in the Command Bar. If you have special commands that you’d like to save you can click the , icon or hit Ctrl + B in the command bar. View or load your saved command through the “Saved” tab in the history menu.

What’s Next

Our long term goal is that every action you can take in Studio, from moving a part to changing a setting, will be scriptable through Luau and Cloud APIs. The new command bar will be one of the main ways you can harness this power. We’re also exploring natural language input and integrations with Assistant to make these capabilities accessible to everyone, regardless of coding experience.

We’re excited to get community feedback on this change and hear your suggestions for potential improvements.

I like the offer, but in the long term, a full on sandboxed terminal would be better.

I like the solution of multi-line commands as it makes automation much easier for developers, but what’s even better is developing a unified and integrated command line for tedious work like packages, automations, in-studio or game configurations, and etc.

This is unless, we can have plugins automatically embed modules and make it easier to access, e.g. require(“@doe/studio-utils”), but terminal CLI would still be better for developer feedback.

FINALLY!!! I’ve been waiting so long for this

Command bar is good, and it is is better

[galmeowing (Quaywinn)]

thank u for releasing SLIM early

[THEsuperTERROR]

HYPE. Would also be awesome to be able to rename bookmarked code snippets.

[TheLavaCreeper5406 (EyeSeeYou)]

This is a huge step up from writing the code in a separate script and pasting it into the command bar. Thanks!

[ericamoura (MatheusPlayer)]

a good Roblox Studio update, That’s what i like

[IGOBOOM123]

Never use the command bar, but this is great.
Can we get a multi-line console bar now?

not that i use the console bar either, but it’d just be nice for every once in a century use

[TenebrisNoctua (Noctua)]

Great update! However I would like to give some feedback about the new design.

First of all, the multi-line feature is great! However, it poses certain problems:

The command bar should retain its single-line mode as it has existed in the previous version.
In fact, this even existed up until 2 weeks ago in this beta version, where it was suddenly changed by the always permanent two line mode.

This allowed users to easily press “ENTER” like how they would in the previous version and execute a command. Now, you have to specifically press “Run” in order to run a command.

Also, because the command line is in multi-line mode now, the buttons on the right cover the first line of the editor, preventing users from seeing and modifying the code there. This wasn’t a big issue in previous versions but now it is.

A great update, but definitely can be better.

The blue for the run button should match with the blue used for the Play button

[Stephex_s (Stephex)]

Yes. A million times yes. Probably one of my favorite studio updates this year

[GunsForGuns34]

Undo for the command bar!? and favoriting commands!!! this is amazing!

[kasjmirr]

this is awesome, finally an end to copy and pasting snippets from my txt files

[Crazyblox]

Multi-line is good.

Hopefully you can find a home for that tacked on control bar which defies the horizontal alignment of every other tool in studio

Very good upgrade, well done Roblox and the team that worked on it.
this is literally what I wrote 10 minutes ago, so hard to see what’s happening ;-;
thanks for the update

[BackspaceRGB]

I wish there was some kind of stroke on the recent commands dropdown. It kinda blends in with other widgets currently, since they are the same color

[mvyasu (Yasu)]

Gone are the days were I insert a script just to write a simple snippet to past into the command bar. I love this beta and will definitely get a lot of use out of it. My muscle memory for pressing only enter to execute a snippet will have to adjust, but I can live with it.

Will there ever be the option to have it start off as one line instead of two? I like having it be compact when I’m not using the command bar.

[TenebrisNoctua (Noctua)]

In the early versions of this feature, a button to expand into the multi-line mode existed alongside Shift + Enter to create a new line to enable it. I think we should go back to one of those versions, or a similar feature should be implemented.
