Hi, How do I paste the blue frame in between About and How? The entire frame A is using auto-layout. 

Using ctrl+C and ctrl+V. Is it possible? I know I can use mouse click and drag in then it will sit perfectly in between. But what if I wanted to use keyboard keys?

If i click on About and paste, blue frame will be nested inside About frame which is what I don’t want.

Another way is to select any frame, hit Shift+Enter to go to parent frame A, However this will make the blue frame pasted at the end of frame A, imagine i have 10 rows, I’ll need to press arrow key up until it’s positioned on the 3rd row.

 

Thanks!

In Figma, when you paste into an auto-layout frame using Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V, the new frame always goes to the end of the parent by default. To position it between About and How without using the mouse, first select any child and press Shift+Enter to focus on the parent frame. Then paste with Ctrl+V, and the frame will appear at the end. From there, use Alt+↑ (Option+↑ on Mac) to move the pasted frame up the stack until it sits between About and How. This keeps it in the parent without nesting it inside a child.
