Simple way to count the number of items selected?


Julia57

Here’s my situation. I’m a designer so I use the Figma file as an editor. My client has banned all external plugins due to security reasons. We are not paying for dev mode at the moment.
How can I just find out how many objects on the screen I have selected? That’s all I want to know. It can’t be true that I need a whole plugin just to expose a functionality that I KNOW Figma natively has (now hidden behind a pywall). And I am not paying for Dev Mode just to be able to count my objects. That would be silly.

This feels like such a basic thing, it should be displayed by default somewhere when objects are selected. Can someone please tell me there’s something I’m missing and that this is in fact possible?

Press Cmd + R (batch rename), the number of layers will be in top left corner.

Mind blown. I would have never thought about that. Thank you!! (based on the speed of your reply, I guess this is a hack you use routinely?)
