How do I switch back to AZERTY?

Once in QWERTY, some keys change place (notably the Q and the A) and the accents disappear. This is normal: to rewrite in French in chat, switch back to QWERTY with Shift + Alt.

What if Shift+Alt doesn't change anything?

The shortcut doesn't work for everyone, and that's a well-known problem. Here's what to check, from the simplest to the last resort:

• ✅ Check that the QWERTY keyboard (US) is well selected in the language bar (bottom right), not just installed.
• 🔄 Close then relaunch Roblox once the QWERTY keyboard is active: the game sometimes only takes the layout into account at startup.
• 💻 If you are on the Microsoft version Blind, try the desktop version of Roblox (or vice versa): behavior sometimes differs depending on the version.
• 🛠️ As a last resort, some players use a small script AutoHotkey to invert Z↔W and A↔Q. This is a third-party tool, to be used at your own discretion: just exchange keys, without a game macro.

📌 Please note : Roblox does not offer a global keyboard remapping feature. However, some Roblox games have their own control settings in their menus, so be sure to check the settings for the specific game.
