FigJamHand
I’m just working with FigJam (in Figma Windows 11 app), and my cursor converted to strange hand sometimes to a few seconds. Why this happened, what it’s mean and how I can disable this? (I’m in solo project.)

Hi @RubyComp, Thank you so much for reaching out to us!

Thanks for sharing the screenshot and it looks like your cursor is in high five mode. You can slip into high five mode in a couple of ways:

  • Give your cursor left and right shake
  • Press and hold the ‘H’ key

If you don’t want to accidentally enter high five mode by cursor shake, you can easily turn it off. Please follow these steps:

  1. Click on the Figma icon in the top-left corner of the screen.
  2. Navigate to “Preferences.”
  3. Uncheck the option that says “Shake cursor for high five.”

For more information, feel free to take a look at Stamps, emotes, and high-fives

If what I’ve mentioned doesn’t quite fit your situation, I’d suggest getting in touch with our support team directly through this link: https://help.figma.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=360001744374
When reaching out, please remember to include the following details:

  • Your Figma account email
  • Recording or Screenshots of the issue

Hope this helps clear things up a bit!
Thank you again for contacting us.
