Does anyone know why User Input Service IsKeyDown doesn’t detect Left Control while it detect all others keycode like Left Shift etc?

local Game = game
local UserInputService = Game:GetService("UserInputService")

local function OnInputBegan(InputObject)
	if InputObject.KeyCode.Name == "LeftControl" then print("Hello world!") end
end

UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(OnInputBegan)

This is working for me.

It is probably because of your keyboard. I had the same Issue too (tried making a c to crouch) but when i pressed c nothing happened. I then switched keyboards and then it worked. Not quite sure the reason behind this tho…

Yes but when I use left ctrl just using input.Keycode it works. But when I use isKeyDown it doesn’t work.

this is working fine for me.

local UserInPutService = game:GetService("UserInputService")

local function IsControlKeyDown()
	return UserInPutService:IsKeyDown(Enum.KeyCode.LeftControl)
end
UserInPutService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input,gp)
	if gp then return end
	if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.LeftControl then
		if IsControlKeyDown() then
			print("Key Is Down")
		else
			print("No, key is not down.")
		end
	end
end)
