Quick answer

You can’t truly “get rid of” the Enter‑commands behavior on Roblox itself, because it’s now part of the default chat/command system that Roblox auto‑adds. What you can do is:

  • Disable or override the default command bar / chat commands in your game’s code.
  • Change the keybind so Enter no longer opens the command bar (by using a different key or custom UI).
  • Filter out unwanted Enter/newline characters in custom chat scripts so pressing Enter doesn’t create weird behavior.

Everything else is about how you build your game, not editing Roblox globally.

Why this happens

Roblox recently tightened its chat system and added a “command bar” that pops up when you press certain keys (like /, \, or sometimes Enter , depending on the game and updates). This is done by Roblox’s core scripts, not by individual games, so players can’t just turn it off in settings.

In many games, especially those with admin systems or roleplay, pressing Enter while focused on chat can:

  • Open a command bar / UI overlay.
  • Submit a message that includes a newline/carriage return.
  • Trigger unwanted “enter commands” if your script listens for_CHAT or Chatted events without cleaning input.

If you’re a game developer (scripting in Roblox Studio)

1. Disable default chat commands / command bar

If you want your own chat system and don’t want Roblox’s default commands:

  • Use TextChatService and create your own TextChatCommands.
  • Don’t rely on the old Chatted event; instead, read from your custom TextBox and handle commands manually.
  • You can effectively “remove” default commands by:
    • Not showing the default chat GUI.
    • Using your own UI and ignoring Roblox’s built‑in commands.

Some developers report that you can’t fully remove Roblox’s auto‑complete without building a custom system, but you can hide the default UI and only show yours.

2. Prevent Enter from inserting newlines or triggering commands

If your issue is that pressing Enter creates a newline or weird command:

  • In your custom TextBox:

    • Set MultiLine = false so Enter doesn’t insert a newline visually.
    • On FocusLost or InputChanged, sanitize the text:

    lua

    local function cleanMessage(text) return string.gsub(text, "%s+", " ") -- collapse all whitespace/newlines -- or: string.gsub(text, "%c", "") to remove control chars like \r end

This removes carriage returns and multiple spaces so pressing Enter doesn’t mess up your command parsing.

3. Change what key opens your command bar

If you want players to use a different key instead of Enter:

  • Don’t listen for Enter in your script.
  • Only process commands when:
    • A custom button is pressed.
    • Or a different key (e.g., /, F1, etc.) is used via UserInputService.InputBegan.

Example pattern:

lua

UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, gameProcessed)
    if gameProcessed then return end
    if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.F1 then
        -- open your custom command UI
    end
end)

This way, pressing Enter just sends chat messages (or does nothing in your custom UI), and your “command bar” uses another key.

If you’re a player (not the developer)

You cannot globally disable the Roblox command bar or “Enter commands” behavior from the client side. The options are:

  • Use the game’s own settings :
    Some games let you change the command bar keybind in their settings menu (e.g., change from / or Enter to something else).

  • Avoid using the command bar :

    • Don’t press the key that opens it (often /, \, or Enter in some games).
    • Use normal chat instead of admin/secret commands unless you’re meant to.

  • Keyboard workaround :
    If Enter is opening the command bar in a specific game, some players try:

    • Using Ctrl+Shift+Enter or alternative key combos.
    • Pressing the key quickly and then backspacing to avoid the command triggering (workaround for old bugs with carriage returns).

These are not perfect, but they’re the only practical options without modifying Roblox itself (which is not allowed).

Common phrases people confuse

  • “Enter commands” might mean:
    • Typing commands and pressing Enter to submit them.
    • A command bar that opens when you press Enter.
    • Newlines/carriage returns being added when you press Enter in a textbox.

Each has a slightly different fix:

  • For submitting commands : change your script to not react to Enter, or use a different submit key/button.
  • For command bar opening : ask the game developer to change the keybind, or use a different key if the game supports it.
  • For newlines : sanitize input with string.gsub as shown above.

TLDR

  • Roblox itself doesn’t let players disable the command bar or “Enter commands” globally.
  • Developers can:
    • Build a custom chat/command system.
    • Disable multi‑line, sanitize input, and use a different key than Enter.
  • Players can:
    • Check in‑game settings for keybind changes.
    • Avoid the key that opens the command bar or use workarounds like Ctrl+Shift+Enter.
