Unable to use CMD + Shift + K keyboard shortcut

As of a recent Studio update, CMD + Shift + K keyboard shortcut is not registering at all. This is the default shortcut used for the “Delete Lines” keyboard command. Setting this shortcut to something else, in the following video, CMD + Shift 8 it works just fine.

I’ve asked my counterparts on Windows to use their version, CTRL + Shift + K and it works just fine.

In the following video I try various combinations (which also don’t work)- including CMD + Shift + J/K/L/M- but they do not register at all.

I’m running macOS 15.0.1

According to Apple support, this is a system shortcut:

So it’s possible that this is interfering with your system.

Try turning this shortcut off and see if that fixes it for you.

We have also had similar issues in the past when the user’s keyboard needed cleaning :sweat_smile:

In any case, if someone else experiences this, please let us know.

What the heck, this only started happening earlier in the week. That shortcut doesn’t actually do anything for me anywhere else in the system. It’s not available to be disabled in Keyboard settings. And it would be weird if Roblox had a default Studio shortcut that was overridden at all times by the OS.

Are you sure something in Studio isn’t broken that may be able to suppress system shortcuts?

Agreed, it’s suspicious, but I had this happen to me: eg a quiet system upgrade enabled some keyboard shortcuts under the hood.

OTOH if you’re the only one experiencing this would also be suspicious, thus the shout-out for any more people having this happen. Needless to say I immediately tested this out on my Mac and it’s not happening.

I’ll check with some other folks as well now…

Unfortunately we haven’t seen this behavior in house, so far but will keep looking. In the meantime, you could try KeyCue or something similar to see if the system is eating the shortcuts, this problem is likely specific to your machine, otherwise we would have heard reports of it…

Hi, I did more testing and checking with people. I could still not repro this but a colleague did by switching their locale to one of the Cyrillic alphabets. So that’s another thing to check if the locale is different from English for some reason in your Studio.

If that’s not the case, I would also try it with a physically different keyboard; sometimes keyboards do break!

Thanks for going to the ends of the earth to figure this out haha! I set CMD + Shift + K as in system settings for a random shortcut (hiding/showing dock) which works just fine.

In Studio, setting only CMD + K shortcut registers. As soon as I use shift it doesn’t :confused:
It’s not a big deal for me. Can keep this thread open in case someone else runs into this problem or I dig deeper into whats going on in the future.

Aw it’s just silly…

The only shortcuts that don’t work for me are the ones that are intercepted by something (OS, some global software like a password manager or search) so I would poke around there.

One more check would be to see if it works with either Shift maybe? Or Shift + K?

If not, maybe we should set this ticket to “Can’t reproduce” for now and if more people complain we reopen it.

Yup Shift + K works, CMD + K works. But the combination of those three doesn’t

I marked it as “Can’t reproduce for now”; if we there is any further development, I’ll reopen the issue.
