What is Shift Lock?
Shift lock is a feature that locks your character’s perspective to mouse movements when pressing the Shift key on your keyboard. This means that when you move your mouse around, your character will also turn around to face the same direction as the camera.
The feature is designed to make it easier for players to control their character’s view and helps to improve their performance in certain Roblox games such as the Tower of Hell and sword fighting.
Some games in Roblox have a built-in Shift Lock Switch that when enabled doesn’t require you to press the Shift key every time you want to lock the character’s perspective to the camera direction.
In the next section, you will learn how to do shift lock on Roblox by turning on the feature in the game.
