The keyboard shortcuts displayed in the menus and the help sections are only working if you have an American (I suppose) keyboard layout.


Where does one find the Figma keyboard shortcuts for other languages?


I am what I would call a power user, making heavy use of keyboard shortcuts. It is impeding my productivity to have to hunt for a menu item in the UI because the keyboard shortcuts are broken for me. I have a Swedish keyboard and many of the keyboard shortcuts do not work for me with no way of actually finding them.

One example: in Figma one can, or should be able to rather, hit ⌘/ to “Hide UI” but this produces nothing for me. However I recently discovered by mistake that hitting ⌘. produces that effect. 🤷

Yes sure, I uploaded my figmafile, you can check out the prototype here:

Figma – 7 Mar 22

I have listed the shortcuts that are different from us keyboard. Click the names to see the key-combo. I hope it works for you 🙂

Hey all thanks for the feedback here. We just launched the International Keyboard Shortcuts beta for German (QWERTZ), Japanese (Kana), and French (AZERTY). Learn more here on how you can participate


This is just the start in working on improving this area, but hope this helps. 🙂

+1 please add the remapping feature asap. #germankeyboard

⌘ + . works for me on a German Magic Keyboard (so right now realy magic 😉. Thanks a lot

I have found that cmd+. works on a DK keyboard too
