I would love to be able to trigger cmd + . or “N” via the plugin I’m building, is this possible?

Please read the documentation:

MDN Web Docs

And note that for shortcuts to be processed by your plugin’s iframe, it must be in focus.


Thank you Tank!!


Hey Tank, is there anything particular I need to do to focus the plugin? I was getting KeyboardEvent is not a constructor


from var event = new KeyboardEvent("keydown", { key: "Enter", code: "Enter", keyCode: 13, ctrlKey: true, shiftKey: false, altKey: false, metaKey: false, bubbles: true, cancelable: true, }); document.dispatchEvent(event);


Appreciate any guidance on this


You can’t trigger Figma shortcuts from a plugin. The link above is useful for catching keypresses within the plugin UI.


Ahhh thank you very much Gleb
