Back Button in the sidebar

A back button (and possibly a forward button) would be very helpful in the sidebar to navigate larger Figma files with multiple pages.

Variable option for stroke thickness

I can’t use a number variable for stroke thickness but I need to, in order to support a particular button design. May as well make variables an option for dash and gap numbers, too.

Show colour variables hex code

It would be great if you could see a colour variables hex code when assigning a variable to an elements fill / stroke.

True Aspect Ratio Lock

Can we get a true aspect ratio lock when the ‘Constrain Proportions’ is on? A true aspect ratio lock means two things: When dragging on a node with ‘constrain proportions’, its width and height always stay in their original ratio no matter which direction you drag it. When resizing on the parent of a node with ‘constrain proportions’ that happens to be constrained, the node takes on the smallest of its supposed width and height, and calculates its ratio accordingly. This would be so very helpful to polygon shapes that want to stay in that shape. Consider a spider chart. When you resize its parent, you don’t want the ‘spider net’ to squish squash; neither will you want a doughnut to turn into an oval. *Resizing of the node’s parent layer is inevitable if you need responsive designs.

"Empty" Auto Layout Frame keeps the size of last hidden child

Hi, I’m not sure if this is new since the May update, but I wonder why “empty” (all elements hidden) Auto Layout Frames keep the size of the last hidden child (and I do not mean last in the list, but the last element to have been toggled out of view by the user), making them not-0px high even with nothing in them. See here a file with a Frame with three hidden rectangle: the Frame keeps the size of the last child rectangle to have been hidden. When adding a 0-px Frame to the AL frame, and toggling this 0-px Frame off last, the container goes 0-px. In my opinion, empty AL Frames should have a height of 0. What do you think?

Command+K no longer creates text link

The New UI changed the keyboard shortcut for creating a link in text. Command+K is the universal keyboard shortcut for adding a link and changing it to shift+command+U severely slows down my workflow. For many designers and copywriters, command+K is muscle memory, and swapping this adds unnecessary confusion. Can you please change the keyboard shortcut back, or allow users to customize their shortcuts? Switching any keyboard shortcuts out is extremely frustrating to designers who rely on using them to save time in their daily workflow.

Font Weight in Numbers on the Design Panel

Currently Figma only shows font weights as Thin, Regular, Medium, Bold, Black, etc. on the Design Panel, and you can only see the actual value of the weight in the inspect panel, but it would speed up design spec work and documentation work a lot if in the Design panel, next to each weight it also showed the value for that weight, as in Thin (100), Regular (400), Medium (500), Bold (600), and so on, as it is what tokens should use and developers would implement most often.

Insert link keyboard shortcut

Previously, you would hit CMD+K to insert a link. It was very easy to remember as it’s the most common. I am never going to remember Shift+CMD+U as being a link. Would rather a new keyboard shortcut was added to go to the actions menu, than repurposing one already frequently used.

2 factor authentication enforcing

2FA is currently only available in a user account (as far as I’m aware). So each user needs to enable it and can decide if they want to. Some customers really want us to use 2FA for any web app. A simple solution would be for organisation accounts, that we move that setting to the org admin and can enforce it or enable it for all users that way.

Expose/hide nested instances -> at component property level

With the new update, we have a great new feature, but unfortunately, it’s not usable with our component structure. Exposing all props of a nested instance also exposes props that we don’t want in the context of the consuming component. What if we could also select which properties to expose? This would lead to a cleaner sidebar with only valid props.

Figma Slide feature request - Slide Animations

It would be nice to have the ability to add animations to the elements on the slide instead of only between slides. Of course you could duplicate slides and remove the parts you want to progressively reveal but that could quickly clutter the grid.

Bulk clear annotations

I often duplicate existing mocks to work on feature updates. Deleting previous annotations one by one is extremely tedious. It would be helpful if the tool could recognize when a frame has been duplicated and then allow bulk clearing of annotations.

Local Variables visible to View Only users

Engineers on my team just noticed that they can’t see and export local variables unless they have edit permissions. This is a huge limitation since not everyone on my team can have edit permissions due to licensing/cost. My ideas is to keep local variables visible to View Only collaborators. They should not be able to edit the variables.

Option to NOT create subfolders when exporting assets

It really annoys me that Figma automatically creates subfolders when you export an element that’s inside a component and has a ‘/’ naming convention. I always have to go back into the folder and delete the folders or rename everything. It would be great to have a simple checkbox toggle in the exports panel to enable/disable creating subfolders, similar to Illustrator.

Component Boolean - Hide when True

Currently, using Figma component boolean properties, it only shows when true and hides when false. What if you could switch those around? For example, when something is true, it could show some elements, and hide others. For example, a product thumbnail- when “on sale” is true, show sale icon, show strikethrough price, but also hide original price and replace it with a bolded/colorful/what have you of price. Or if ‘Out of Stock’ is true, show all the ‘out of stock’ stuff material, but also hide the ‘add to cart’ button. Stuff like that. Currently you have to create new variants just to show + hide things at the same time, or add redundant switches like ‘In Stock’ and ‘Out of Stock’ and just make sure they never have the same state.

Enabling “Snap to Pixel” instantly modifies the fractional coordinates of the frames in the file

Hi! Can somebody explain why with “snap to pixel grid” function on in Figma, the coordinates of files are still can be fractional? It fixes when you move them, but the question is still here why it is happening? And maybe there are some ways to prevent this or fix all frames coordinates in file altogether?

Mind Map Improvements

Please create a feature where the nodes can be collapsed. I’m on the brink of migrating from Mindmeister but FigJam can’t collapse nodes, so my large mind map will look so messy. I only tackle one subtopic at a time in my group meetings. Thanks in advance

Ability to reorder Variable Modes

As design systems grow organically, it might be necessary to reorder Variable Modes in the Local variables panel, similarly to how it is possible to reorder variables.

Allow us to view Variants descriptions similar to component/variants

I wonder if there are any plans on your roadmap to enable viewing variant descriptions directly within Figma?Currently, only design system editors can see the variant library and associated descriptions, which makes it challenging for other team members to understand the purpose or intended use of specific variants. Having a way for all users—designers, developers, and stakeholders—to view variant descriptions without requiring editor access would significantly enhance collaboration, improve understanding of the design system, and reduce dependency on editors for clarification.This feature would empower teams to work more efficiently and ensure consistency in using components across projects.

Figma slides - internal links between slides shouldn't become external links when exporting to PDF

Hello, I tried Figma slides to re-create my portfolio, which I had already created in Figma, because I was attracted by the possibility to quickly reorder the slides. However, I noticed a problem: while I can create internal links in Figma slides which allow me to jump from a slide to another, when I export said slides as a PDF, the internal links are substituted with external links which jump back to the Figma website when clicked, instead of allowing you to navigate through the PDF inside your own pdf viewer. This is a problem for various reasons: you can’t easily navigate around the .pdf offline, since each time you click the supposedly internal links you instead get redirected to a web page; the offline .pdf and the online version can be out of sync. Meaning that the offline versions, which may be several and have different slide orders or different elements (it’s common practice to slightly tweak a portfolio when you send it to different clients) will all point to the same figmas

Link components in a frame to a grid size (column width and gutter width) to resize and reposition elements quickly when changing the grid size

Hey guys, This is a feature request. Let; say I am designing a website. I create a certain grid (column/gutter) and I start adding components, aligning them to the grid I previously created. Let’s say I have quite a few pages, all of course using that same grid. When I finish all the 20 pages of the website, let’s say the client wants to change the grid size. That means I have to resize and reposition every component on all 20 pages, it’s a huge waste of time. How about an option to “link” the components to the grid I created, so that when I change the grid size (column width, gutter width), all the components and elements resize and reposition properly based on the new grid size? It could be checkbox in the frame “Link to grid” and whatever components I size initially based on the grid, those would get resized and repositioned correctly any time I change that grid size. Thanks, Chris

Is it possible to specify an objects center of rotation. I cant for the life of me find it anywhere. You could do this relatively easy in sketch.
