Ensure console keybind respects chat #1989

totallytavi · 2025-09-19T20:55:16Z

Roblox has recently introduced a change that results in ContextActionService ignoring chat inputs. CoreGui is made nil, so CAS won't properly detect that the events are game processed events.

See this DevForum thread: https://devforum.roblox.com/t/userinputservicegetfocusedtextbox-returns-nil-with-the-chat-box-focused/3940424

Minimum reproducible example

Since CodeRabbit is so angry I didn't do this.

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

UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input: InputObject, gameProcessedEvent: boolean)
	if input.KeyCode ~= Enum.KeyCode.Quote then
		return
	end
	
	print(
		'Quote key processed',
		gameProcessedEvent and "GPE" or "Non-GPE",
		TextChatService.ChatInputBarConfiguration.IsFocused and "Focused" or "Not-Focused",
                UserInputService:GetFocusedTextBox() and "Textbox" or "No-Textbox"
	)
end)

Summary by CodeRabbit

Bug Fixes
- Improved keyboard input handling across UI themes: console toggle and key-driven panels now ignore input when chat or text boxes are focused, preventing unintended toggles.
- Tab and other key interactions for player list, settings, and user panel now respect chat input focus and game-processed events for more reliable behavior.

Thanks for pointing out the ones I missed @ari-party. I'll submit some more fixes for this later

GalacticInspired · 2025-10-04T23:17:23Z

Wasn't this already fixed by simply checking gameProcessedEvent?
#1984

totallytavi · 2025-10-07T16:39:34Z

Potentially, let me see.

Hi, have you managed to check this out yet?

totallytavi · 2025-10-15T18:46:35Z

I opened a baseplate and had a weird issue with Adonis. I'll see if I can make a reproducible example

totallytavi · 2025-10-22T16:42:25Z

@GalacticInspired
Seems to fix it, since Roblox will mark the event as a gameProcessedEvent. I don't trust that Roblox will keep this so just for safety, I'll implement both GPE and IsFocused in my PR

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

UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input: InputObject, gameProcessedEvent: boolean)
	if input.KeyCode ~= Enum.KeyCode.Quote then
		return
	end
	
	print(
		'Quote key processed',
		gameProcessedEvent and "GPE" or "Non-GPE",
		TextChatService.ChatInputBarConfiguration.IsFocused and "Focused" or "Not-Focused"
	)
end)

totallytavi · 2025-10-22T16:47:58Z

As @ari-party pointed out, #1984 didn't account for a few other UIs so I'll drop that into my PR as well

* Ensure textbox is a boolean in checks * Add fallback of false for all checks * Add gameProcessedEvent to checks

* Add logic to check for all instances needed * Add fallback in the event none exist * Remove unneeded "or false" from textbox check

Looks good overall, just some minor issues. I'm not exactly sure if this PR should be merged (considering that the underlying issue has been fixed by #1984), so I'll leave it open for others to comment.

MainModule/Client/UI/Aero/Console.rbxmx

 	BindEvent(service.UserInputService.InputBegan, function(InputObject, gameProcessedEvent)
-		local textbox = service.UserInputService:GetFocusedTextBox()
-		if not textbox and not gameProcessedEvent and rawequal(InputObject.UserInputType, Enum.UserInputType.Keyboard) and InputObject.KeyCode.Name == (client.Variables.CustomConsoleKey or consoleKey) then
+		local textbox = service.UserInputService:GetFocusedTextBox() ~= nil


Consider renaming textbox to textboxFocused for clarity.

Will do that. VSC can probably search and replace

Expertcoderz · 2025-11-12T03:56:11Z

MainModule/Client/UI/Aero/Console.rbxmx

-		local textbox = service.UserInputService:GetFocusedTextBox()
-		if not textbox and not gameProcessedEvent and rawequal(InputObject.UserInputType, Enum.UserInputType.Keyboard) and InputObject.KeyCode.Name == (client.Variables.CustomConsoleKey or consoleKey) then
+		local textbox = service.UserInputService:GetFocusedTextBox() ~= nil
+		local chatFocused = service.TextChatService and service.TextChatService.ChatInputBarConfiguration and service.TextChatService.ChatInputBarConfiguration.IsFocused or false


Prefer using service.TextChatService:FindFirstChildOfClass("ChatInputBarConfiguration") to get the ChatInputBarConfiguration instance. ChatInputBarConfiguration is not a property of TextChatService, but rather a child instance under TextChatService.

Right, it can be renamed

Expertcoderz · 2025-11-12T03:56:57Z

MainModule/Client/UI/Aero/PlayerList.rbxmx

-		local textbox = service.UserInputService:GetFocusedTextBox()
-		if not (textbox) and InputObject.UserInputType==Enum.UserInputType.Keyboard and InputObject.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Tab then
+	service.UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(InputObject, gameProcessedEvent)
+		local textbox = service.UserInputService:GetFocusedTextBox() ~= nil


Same thing as the first comment: rename textbox to textboxFocused.

Expertcoderz · 2025-11-12T03:58:59Z

MainModule/Client/UI/Aero/PlayerList.rbxmx

-		if not (textbox) and InputObject.UserInputType==Enum.UserInputType.Keyboard and InputObject.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Tab then
+	service.UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(InputObject, gameProcessedEvent)
+		local textbox = service.UserInputService:GetFocusedTextBox() ~= nil
+		local chatFocused = service.TextChatService and service.TextChatService.ChatInputBarConfiguration and service.TextChatService.ChatInputBarConfiguration.IsFocused or false


Same thing as the second comment: use :FindFirstChildOfClass() to get the ChatInputBarConfiguration.

Expertcoderz · 2025-11-12T04:02:30Z

MainModule/Client/UI/Default/Console.rbxmx

 	gTable.BindEvent(service.UserInputService.InputBegan, function(inputObject: InputObject, gameProcessedEvent)
-		local textbox = service.UserInputService:GetFocusedTextBox()
-		if not textbox and not gameProcessedEvent and rawequal(inputObject.UserInputType, Enum.UserInputType.Keyboard) and inputObject.KeyCode.Name == (Variables.CustomConsoleKey or consoleKey) then
+		local textbox = service.UserInputService:GetFocusedTextBox() ~= nil


Please consider applying the same changes suggested in the first and second comments, for the rest of the files.
(Yeah, it's kinda sad how adonis has lots and lots of duplicated code across the UI themes. We should fix this someday.)

(Fix someday = until roblox inevitably breaks it or someone comes up with a genius solution at 1AM)
