Hey! I am using a Swedish Mac keyboard and using Figma in the browser (Chrome) and would like to know the shortcuts I can use to design more efficiently (sending objects to the back, etc.). However, the shortcuts next to the menu items seem to be for English keyboards only:

And for example, the Swedish keyboard doesn’t have the square brackets:

There is this website I have found from the Figma Spectrum, however it doesn’t have any Mac shortcuts, only suggesting a solution if you have the Figma Mac app.

Please help ^-^ there seem to be others with this problem, too. Thanks!

Same thing here, with ÅÄÖ sort of a keyboard 🙂


Figma seem to go by the notion that keyboard shortcuts solely based on US keyboards is expected behavior after all these years. I’ve just resided to Cmd+P (Quick Actions, originally Cmd+/ 🤷) and quickly searching for the commands instead.


Send to front/back doesn’t work on keyboard, but Cmd+Opt+Up/Down works when only moving one step up/down in the layer order.


In Sketch, it’d be as easy as just remapping commands in my Mac system settings, which worked like a treat! Miss that.

I struggled with this for a while!

The keyboard shortcuts I’ve found so far on the Swedish keyboard (Mac):



  • Quick Actions: Cmd + P (as Jonas said)

  • Show/Hide UI: Cmd + .

  • Bring forward: Cmd + ¨^ (next to Ã…)

  • Send backward: Cmd + Ã…

  • Bring to front: ¨^ (next to Ã…)

  • Send to back: Ã…

Thanks so much! 😀
