At least on European keyboards (don’t know about the others) there is no dedicated backslash button. Therefore I can not use Ctrl + \ to show or hide the UI of the Figma web app.
Keyboard combinations with Alt are not working.
If I hide the UI with the help of the menu, I can not Show it again since the menu is part of the UI. !!??!
wowwwwwwwww thank you sooooo much!
In my case it was conflicting with 1Password ctrl + \ shortcut.
Environment: Windows 11, Figma desktop app, US layout keyboard
I had some issue with my french azerty keyboard with the “@” key to hide/show UI.
Just figure it out that you have to press “²” and it works perfectly
De rien 🙂
It worked for me to change the keyboard layout to “generic”. To do that: first go to the “?” symbol to the bottom right of the screen; in the menu select “change keyboard layout”; in the keyboard panel that appears select “generic” from the small menu on the left. Done.
For the german folks who have this problem:
In Figma it says that you should press ^ but you actually need to press this “<” key
I had the same problem and what worded for me was Ctrl + ]
They “solved” the problem for some languages some 20 days ago.
Normally you need to press §. But for some reason it does not work anymore.
Maybe we just need to be even more patient… who knows.
Command + . for me (Mexico)
OMFG! 2 years I’ve struggled to find why this does not work. Indeed, 1Password was conflicting with this.
THANK YOU! 🙏
I wish there was a way to see all the app level shortcuts in windows in one place.
CTRL + Ç (for Turkish)
Closing the browser tab and opening the view again in a new one worked for me on Windows 10.
