Isn’t it yet a solution for this problem? I tried to group things by typing Ctrl+G and nothing happens.

Any recommendations aside from installing a program?

Hi,

CTRL+Alt+G for creating a frame doesn’t work in Asus Zenbook Windows. Shortcut to create a frame that is.

Hi there, how are you?

Reporting on a bug:

• 
  

  ENG-ES (Spanish layout)

  
  


• 
  

  Using the brackets is not recognized. Important to note that in this layout you need to press Alt to get the bracket symbol.

  
  

Thanks a lot!

Neither Option + Arrows shortcuts worked on my 2019 mac, FR keyboard.

Tried it on Text Adjust.

It seams thats the Option key make trouble.

Norwegian user here. Same problem with / that everyone else has, though that’s not my biggest frustration right now.

1. Describe the bug/issue you’re running into?

I’m trying to remap existing Figma shortcuts so they work for me (for example, hiding or showing the left sidebar). Not even the default ones work. Reading this thread, it seems like the problem may lie with keys like Shift, Option and Command. It’s not ideal!

2. Are you able to consistently reproduce it? If so what are the steps?

Yeah, it’s consistently not working. Steps to reproduce:

1. Use whatever keyboard shortcut is currently registered against View > Panels > Show Left Sidebar (This includes remapping my preferred combination where it already exists as a shortcut in Figma — just picking something else for that shortcut) .


2. Nothing happens.


3. Try setting up a different keyboard shortcut for this action.


4. Nothing happens.

It’s worth noting that even before I tried remapping this command to suit my preferences, it didn’t work with the default (Cmd + Shift + \ ) because, having a Norwegian keyboard where / is not a first-class citizen, just to get the \ I have to use Opt + Cmd + 7. So It’s impossible to type Cmd + Shift + \

3. Share a screenshot, recording, console log, link to the file, etc.

Kind of impossible to do this because it’s all keyboard.

4. Is the issue only happening in desktop app or a specific browser , or both?

Both (as you’d expect)

5. What OS/version and/or browser/version are you using?

Mac OS Monterey (12.1). Chrome 98.0.4758.102

Thanks!

For me and everyone coming here, keyboard shortcuts are the key to workflow and productivity at the micro level. Really disappointed that even after years, this issue is not fixed. This is THE key to Usability.

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. 🙂

alt-1 and alt-2 to switch between Layers and Assets stopped working for me on Desktop App version 114.6.2. This is on a regular file and US keyboard layout

short cut for auto layout, group… aren’t working. i need to close the program and restart.

scale, move, show/hide comments, group, auto layout… maybe more?

they worked fine yesterday, I’m using the same keyword, same MacBook, nothing has changed but some shortcuts aren’t enabled

Hi Hanna,

Any update on Shift+C shortcut to add connectors? Literally on just the second slide of FigJam Basics tut and doesnt seem to work. The tut says you can double click on a connector to add text and that doesnt seem to work either. Makes me worry about this program since literally just opened this program for the first time to learn how to use it from the premade tutorials and running into issues already. Not sure if Im doing something wrong on my end or if this is still an ongoing issue. I see someone mention the same issue 6 months ago all the way back on Jan 9.

Please advise. Thank you for your time.

US Keyboard

Safari 15.4

OS Monterey v12.3

You can use the shortcuts X or ⇧ Shift + L to create an elbow connector, and L for a straight line.

CTR + G (GROUP) does NOT work. It does function of CTR + F instead, which is find keyword in a search field. PLS FIX THIS!

Command C (copy) and command V (paste) do not work for me in the web app or desktop app, I have tried on multiple mac OS devices and still does not work. I have the normal qwerty keyboard layout and have not made any shortcut changes on my device.

These commands work perfectly fine on other applications, and this has been my main issue with the app for years. I have used sketch as an alternative as a result, but would choose figma if this could be solved.

I have not been able to use the mask short cut (ctrl+Alt+M) for a month now. How can I fix this?

Thanks 😃

I’m having the same issues with keyboard shortcuts, even general keyboard commands like delete. I seems to be caused by the bottom right modal Figma uses to promote something (still troubleshooting this). Hope it helps.

Figma’s default keyboard shortcuts are based on the layout of a US QWERTY keyboard. Some of the keys in these shortcuts aren’t available in other languages or layouts.

You can update your keyboard layout in your preferences to access shortcuts mapped to that layout. Figma supports the following keyboard layouts:

• Chinese (Pinyin)


• Danish


• Finnish


• French AZERTY


• German QWERTZ


• Italian


• Japanese (Kana)


• Korean


• Norwegian


• Portugese


• Spanish


• Spanish (Latin America)


• Swedish


• U.K. (Mac / PC)


• U.S. QWERTY / Generic

More info on selecting your keyboard layout and remapped shortcuts for your specific keyboard are available here:

I cannot use basic shortcuts like ‘H’ for the hand tool or zoom in or out in Figma files.

I have solved my issue by pressing the windows key twice.

I’m trying to use alt+9 and alt+8 at my desktop Figma app and nothing happend!

I’m working on a Figma file

I have a couple of shortcuts that aren’t working.

I’m using the desktop app on Mac. The “Frame Selection”, “Bring to Front”, and “Send to Back” shortcuts aren’t working.

I love using shortcuts so, would love it if someone could fix this issue or tell me how to fix it.

I’m trying to use the frame object shortcut option/command/G and instead it only brings up search my google drive??? Please fix this, it would save me SO MUCH TIME! Thanks!

@Jeannine_Frazier_Boone1 Had the same issue. You can change or deactivate the search shortcut in your google drive settings.

Can’t see the dropdown menu when clicking an element with control. Absolute pain that I can’t use it

Same issue. Not sure what happened to cause it, but I was able to get it back by going to Preferences > clicked on “Ctrl+click opens right click menus”
