Hi community, I’m new on figma and somehow I can’t delete or move elements. I got all editor rights but still doesn’t work. Does anyone know what the problem could be?
Thanks in advance

I’m having the same problem on Mac. My Delete key stopped to work.

Hey Bruno, sorry to hear you’re having trouble deleting!

Is this happening both in browser and using the desktop app? Have you tried any of the troubleshooting steps above? What OS are you using?

It is actually the same problem for me. I can not move an object anywhere in the frame when I create a new page. I simply locked the frame, and everything moved. Maybe this solution is helpful to you.

For me it was a keyboard that was detached for a second from the laptop. It only acted out in Figma everything else worked. So until i opened the laptop lid (basically in that case it does a small refresh on the states of attached peripheries) Figma was weird (no move or move with copy and no delete).

Hey, i’ve also faced the same issue once, it got solved automatically but today it got back.
A hck i’ve found is this issue is only happening in WEB version so i use the desktop app. In desktop app it runs normally.

I was using on web version and the delete key not working, ctrl+d not working.
Those actions worked again after I right click and left click to close menu.
