Hi, this one is driving me crazy and I can’t find anything about it so this has to be me doing something wrong. Why can’t I horizontally scroll the Layer list on my Figma? Eventually I get to several levels deep nested layers and I need to manually increase the width of the sidebar to get to them, when I just wanted some horizontal scrolling or even that Figma automatically scrolls horizontally to the layer name. What am I doing wrong? I can’t see any option or setting for this.
Thanks.
Unfortunately Figma doesn’t have this feature.
Feel free to leave your feedback and vote in this thread: Horizontal scroll on the layers panel.
Oh my word… 😳
It always helps me to navigate within the layer view with ⏎ Enter or ⇧ Shift + ⏎ Enterin very large nestings. Because that way, the level to which I’m currently jumping or which I’m selecting is always selected directly.
You can check out this article here. Maybe it helps to find some shortcuts.
Driving me crazy too, specially with less real-estate screen space.
I hope they implement an horizontal auto-scroll behaviour to avoid navigating manually or having to expand the left panel!
I also hate this crap. I left a response on the other Expand/Horizontal scroll and sort the layers/libraries panel thread and voted for it. So lame we have to jump through hoops to get this changed. ugh!
Now they say we have the feature, but I can’t reach it.
Hey @Kadir_Emre_Parlak, sorry for the confusion!
We announced yesterday that it’s rolling out this week. We’re only at ~20% of users. You should have the feature within the next week.
Yes, you said such a feature was available, but there was no detailed information. That’s why I wrote it. Thank you for the information.
Understood.
If it’s any consolation, we’re now at 50% of our rollout, so you should see it soon!
