Can't hug width and fix height

I made a form field where additional text can be shown to the right of the entry. I only need text on the right, so I didn’t wrap it in a frame like the entry field. I had to set the height of the text container to a set value so it lines up with the entry on the left. However, if I switch it to hug the contents of the text, I can’t choose to only hug the width without changing the height. I can’t use line height - it centers instead of positioning on the bottom. Obviously, I could wrap it in a frame, and then the frame can control hug separately. This is just a pain, adding more structure that I wouldn’t otherwise need if it just did what it looks like it does. It also took me a bit to realize what was happening, since I assumed that if I set hug on the width, it would only hug the width. This was also shared here in a closed thread so I don’t think this is a just me thing. If there are two controls and I change one, it should only change that one. If I wanted to change both, I would

Make Dev Mode Annotations Visible to All

Please make Dev Mode Annotations visible by all roles, not just Full Dev Mode seats. This can become costly for users needing context but not all the other dev-mode features. Here’s the scenario: We have a dashboard, with cards showing a customer’s account status. This status can be mapped from multiple back-end statuses, to show just one front-end status. For example, any of the following could be mapped to a single status known to the customer as “Completed”: canceled, terminated, sold, complete, etc. This is something that the developer needs to reference, but then also the PM needs to reference in writing tickets (who doesn’t need full dev-mode access), the QE needs to reference for testing automations, and various other individuals on our team. Placing it in a comment makes it less clearly attached to the specific piece of the design, and requires us to keep documentation dispersed among different tools (Jira, Confluence, Figma etc). Simply making Dev mode annotations visible to v

Keep Comments pinned to design elements (including nested)

When i move my design elements/frames/etc., I expect all the pinned comments to move with them – but they don’t. instead i’m left with a bunch of floating comments (that are not attached to anything), which requires me to manually re-read each comment and move it again to its correct place. this is frustrating and time consuming. but what’s worse is when another user forgets to move the comments after they move the design elements, so when i return to the Figma file it’s very difficult to decipher the floating comments because they are not pinned to anything so i have no idea what they’re referring to. please keep Comments pinned to design elements (so moving design elements automatically moves comments).

Adjustable/Custom-sized Figma Slides

I just want to adjust the page settings for each page “frame” so to speak so I can make it wider. It’s not clear that this is possible.

Allow users to edit the title, category and kind of topic (question / conversation) of a post once they have created it

Apparently you can’t change these things. I could understand if you didn’t want to allow changing the kind of topic since my understanding is that if a question has a marked answer and you wanted to change to conversation you wouldn’t know what to do about this. But at least I think it should be reasonable to allow users to change the title and category. People make mistakes sometimes...

Ability to paste entire flows/prototypes into Figma Make

Hot take, Figma Make, in it’s current beta form, is underwhelming when it comes to being able take a design and turn it into a usable coded prototype quickly. This feature will have a huge impact on designer-developer workflows only when the speed to getting to a Make prototype is faster than getting to a noodle prototype. Until that happens, designers will continue to stick with what is fastest/most effective for them. Being able to provide Make with the entire context of a prototype + developer notes + design library inside a given file/page seems to be the best route to doing this. I hope the refactor needed to get to being able to provide access to all of this data is well underway, but if not, I’m putting my trust in the rest of the community to get some movement behind this idea here in the portal.

Improve the keyboard shortcuts panel

I want to ask 3 things, but I’m not sure if it would be appropriate to create one post for each: The keyboard shortcuts panel feels awkward. Either allow the user to resize it or make it a popup si you have more space to view the shortcuts more comfortably. Actually show all shortcuts. There are many that aren’t available there so you can’t really use it as a reference. For instance, Alt+R adds a mark in the center of the selected element, but when I went to the keyboard shortcuts menu to understand what this mark actually is I couldn’t find anything and I can’t tell if I am doing more than just adding the mark because I couldn’t find the keyboard shortcut there. Allow the user to enter a keyboard shortcut to learn about it. Currently you can find the keyboard shortcut to do something in particular through Ctrl+P, but not the other way around. I’m a web developer and I use VSCode. This code editor allows you to see all keyboard shorcuts and filter by combination of keys. Just in case y

Auto Layout Grid - Column hug to content

Hello! 🤠 I was very excited to see the addition of Auto Layout Grid today! Having flexibility for both Rows and Columns at the same time is a game changer. That said, I immediately ran into not being able to set a column width to “Hug” within a table, which is a bummer. In the attached video, I want the “Audited By” column to Hug to the longest table cell content. I show both the current solution today, and what I am trying to do with Auto Layout Grid. I can manually adjust the width of the column, I guess, but as you can see, it makes it hard to ensure correct padding without a lot of careful tuning of the width. Anyone have any solutions? Will this be coming as a fast-follow feature? Thank you!

Set grid row height to "hug" contents

I was super pumped to start using grids for my layouts until I learned of one fatal flaw that killed my excitement :( The inability to set a row height to hug is simply a deal-breaker for me. Also no variables support for gaps? really?

Export/record prototype to Video or GIF

As a designer I would like to record my prototype screen or export it as a gif so I can use it in presentations and send quick examples in the team group. It would be great to have the same feature then Principle to record or export the prototype to gif. Does anyone have the same need? Is anyone using a plugin or workaround to help solve this?

List of Fonts in selection (like selection colors)

Describe the problem your experiencing and how your idea helps solve this When we select a particular template or frame on Figma on the right side it will show all the colours did we used on that frame or template that’s a really good feature, Including that can you people also try to show us what all fonts that we used in that template or frame I felt that could be really great move by Figma if you people show the list of fonts that we used in that frame this going to be a great initiative by FIGMA. I’m really apologetic If that feature already existed in Figma I didn’t know where it was? I explored but I couldn’t find that feature. Add as much context as possible (screenshots, Figma files, mockups, etc.) Ask questions to bring the community into the conversation (e.g. Does anyone else experience this? Is anyone using a plugin or workaround to help solve this? etc. Does anyone else experience this? Is anyone using a plugin or workaround to help solve this?

Color code or tag comments

We often leave comments with different purposes or to different roles in the company (stakeholder, copy, dev, UX/UI, etc.) It would make it much easier to identify the comments relevant for you if we had the option of color coding or tagging them (and filtering your comments view to only show those relevant to your work). This would especially make large projects easier.

Variable cursor in prototypes

Currently, in prototype the cursor appears to be either ‘pointer’ (for everything) or ‘hand’ (if a click interaction set up on an element). I would like to be able to change this to a text cursor, when hovering over an input field in my proto. Affordance is a very important part of UI so surprised theres no way to do this? Of course can hack it by adding an image of a cursor, but then you end up having that plus the actual cursor on screen & it makes things worse. Should be an easy feature to add and would be very much appreciated!

Add Libraries to Image selection of Buzz's Content Editor

Right now in Buzz if you give someone a template and want to let them swap out an image, they can only Upload an image from their computer to “replace” the image, OR drag in an image from a library from scratch, but it won’t replace the existing image. Uploading an image from your computer is a good way to replace, but we want to give content editors a library of images to choose from that we curate. Ideally in this view there would be a Library icon, and then we could choose a photo from a Library to replace the image. This feels like a big miss compared to Express, which handles this much better.

Color or Value on hover to the Libraries panel would be very use full

Context: While working on a design system in Figma, I’ve created a set of color tokens using the new Variables feature. These tokens are organized and published via a shared Library for consistent use across projects. Issue: When selecting a color from the Variables panel (especially from Libraries), the color swatches are visible, but no color values or token names are displayed on hover. This makes it difficult to quickly identify or differentiate between similar shades—especially in large systems with many tokens. Why This Matters: Designers often rely on visual cues and quick access to token names or values. Without hover details, we’re forced to memorize or constantly reference documentation. It slows down the workflow and increases the chance of using incorrect tokens. Proposed Solution: Please consider adding a tooltip or hover state that displays: The token name The color value (e.g., HEX, RGB, or HSL) This small UX improvement would significantly enhance usability and efficien

Property ordering, especially nested instances

Please allow us to define the order of properties for a component...I really hate that nested properties are separated without a way to order it to suit my needs. In the example below I want to be able to move the “Status Indicator” properties below “Show Status Indicator” when enabled.

Official Linux Support

I am using Figma from almost 2 years. It’s a great tool. Previously I was using Windows 10 yet recently switched to Linux(Ubuntu). Figma doesn’t have any official release for Linux. There are some Unofficial desktop versions but they are “BUGGY”. I request you guys to release an official Figma desktop app for Linux.

Please allow us to assign Seat type and Workspace on invite

When you invite people you need them to accept the invitation first in order for you to assign a role and workspace. This could take DAYS in order for people to be able to get start working because time it takes to communicate to multiple groups of people, different time zone when they request/when I invite them. It is especially bad with my nature of my organization when you have people come and go constantly. When it could be done within 2 minutes. Please add this feature, I wasted so much time and energy when I could be doing something else.

Set Permissions, Workspace, Billing Group at Time of Invitation

I haven’t seen it here, but it would be extremely helpful, for Enterprise, to be able to set Workspace, Billing Group, and permissions for Figma/FigJam seats at the time of invitation. Under the current design, I have to invite someone, then I have to wait until they create a profile to then assign seat permissions and workspace/billing group. Then, because I don’t get any notification that the invitee has created the profile, they have to wait until the next time I log in, or contact me again. You can see how much of a time waste (bad design) this is, especially if you’re inviting a group of people who create profiles at different times.

✨ Figma is not just a graphic editor

It’s a personal tool that can reflect your workflow and become a source of inspiration. Through these themes, I’m sharing the idea that Figma’s interface can be something everyone experiences in their own unique way. 🖼️ The designs are shown in the image below — imagine how you might customize a theme for yourself. Suggestion: This theme system should work like launcher themes in mobile apps — meaning everyone can choose an environment that suits them and pleases their eyes.​​​​​ 🗨️ ️ I would very much like to hear your thoughts and feedback!

Shortcut for add variant

Is there a shortcut for add variant to a single component? (i.e. starting a multi-variant component from a non-variant component.) I can’t find it. It would be nice to have a keyboard shortcut for this. ‘Add variant’ is available with right-clicking a non-variant component, but this is the context-menu. If it was in the Mac OS menu I could add a custom Mac OS shortcut but it’s not listed there.
