About Roblox Studio Keybinds
The complete searchable reference for every Roblox Studio keyboard shortcut — from testing and script editing to camera controls, model transforms, and Explorer navigation.
Knowing your keyboard shortcuts in Roblox Studio is one of the biggest productivity multipliers available to any developer. Expert developers rarely reach for the mouse when a keyboard shortcut is available — the saved time across thousands of daily interactions accumulates into hours of additional development time every week.
The most impactful shortcuts to learn first are the testing shortcuts. F5 starts the game in Play mode, F6 runs the server without a local player (useful for testing server-side scripts), and F8 stops any running simulation. These three shortcuts alone eliminate countless trips to the toolbar during testing.
For Transform operations, the three core shortcuts are Ctrl+T (Move), Ctrl+R (Rotate), and Ctrl+E (Scale). Combined with the F key to focus the camera on any selected object, these four shortcuts cover 90% of positioning work in the 3D viewport. Press Ctrl+L to toggle between local and global transform space when rotating objects.
In the Script Editor, Ctrl+Space triggers autocomplete, which is essential for writing Roblox APIs quickly. Ctrl+/ toggles line comments, Tab/Shift+Tab indents/un-indents selections, and F9 toggles breakpoints for debugging. Ctrl+K formats the entire document with proper indentation — similar to using our Lua Formatter tool.
The camera controls are often overlooked by beginners. Holding Right Mouse Button and using WASD provides first-person camera flight through the viewport, which is dramatically faster than any mouse-only navigation. Holding Shift while flying increases movement speed. The Scroll wheel zooms in and out, while Middle Mouse drag pans without rotating.
Learning keyboard shortcuts is an investment. Start with the 10 most-used ones and practice them until they become muscle memory. Once mastered, each shortcut feels invisible — and your development speed increases measurably.
