Dynamically change modes through prototyping interactions

Currently it’s not possible to dynamically set or assign mode variables to a frame or a document. This would be incredibly helpful when it comes to user settings, like change a theme or language, for example. When prototyping, dynamically setting a mode variable like systemTheme or systemLanguage could then be done through user interactions like clicking a button, to simulate many real-life use cases.

Reverse search (search files from a screenshot)

I work in a large design team (50 designers) in a fast-growing company. The product is complex and has many different flows and variations. I often find myself wanting to find a specific screen in Figma from a specific part of the product. If we had a great index internally that we kept very well groomed, this wouldn’t be a challenge. But it is not the case. Most of the time, I really on asking in Slack if anyone knows where I can find a recent-ish version of this or this in Figma, wait, and 50% of the time another designer finds something. What if we could do reverse image search in Figma like we do in Google? I screenshot a part of my product I use it the reverse search in Figma Figma shows me the files, and where in the files, that have designs that match very closely my screenshot I can grab my screen and start designing!

Edit Group in Isolation Mode

Adobe Illustrator has this very nice feature where you can tell Illustrator that you want to focus on editing a specific group of objects. Once you are in ‘isolation mode,’ other objects in the canvas are dimmed, and you will only be able to select and modify objects at that level and below. For example, when you were in isolation mode, you could drag the selection marque over a set of objects and you wouldn’t accidentally select objects from other groups (e.g. using Command + drag in Figma will select items in other groups). This is SO convenient, and it’s the biggest thing I miss from switching to Figma. I would love to see a feature implemented in Figma that copies this Illustrator functionality — it is easily my number one feature request. A quick video showing isolation mode: More information: https://tutsweet.net/illustrator/understanding-isolation-mode-in-adobe-illustrator

Text paste features

I spend a lot of time copy-pasting text from google docs or word docs, then going through and pasting it into different artboards or text boxes to lay it out. I would love to see an option to paste a large block of text and have Figma give the option to separate paragraphs in different text boxes. An additional option could be to detect styling from other applications and offer to separate the text by style (e.g. header 1, header 2, header 3, body/normal, etc). Finally, the option to contain it all in an auto layout would be great.This could save me a ton of time that I could be using designing instead of switching between apps and copy-pasting.

Open main layer tabs but keep sublayers minimized

Two new figma updates i’d love to see:Figma to add a way in the left rail where you can CHOOSE to expand main layers independent from sublayers. Currently you can only expand all, or collapse all.  For there to be a way to find and/or select all hidden layers at once.

Nested instance organization

Please organize the exposed nested instances better. Having every nested instance expanded and not grouped by parent instance is so difficult to parse through. these nested instances repeat for each card in the carousel. please group them by card with a clear header not just a dropdown chevron.

Slides improvement - Automatic page numbers on Slide Decks

Automatically add page numbers to the selected slide in Figma based on Slide position. Maybe we can select any text and give it the numbering option?

Non-clickable slides in Slide Deck

Hey there! Is it possible to make a slide in a Figma Slide Deck file non-clickable i.e. not leading to the next slide on-click?The only option I’ve come up with is to place a huge text linked to this same slide, the problem is when clicked it starts to reload the whole presentation

Should Figma support restricting screenshots?

As a lead designer of a growing product, I want to make sure my cured designs are hard to leak.The logic of the designs, carefully reviewed by stakeholders of all sorts, should be protected from easy copying. Some engineering might help alert users about their exports being noticed.1) Restrict screenshots;2) Have a list of users who’ve used [Cmd+Shift+C] to track every export move;What are your thoughts on this?

Make variable groups collapsible

Hi Figma Team, I would love to have an option to collapse variable groups in the variable modal. Problem: Every time I’m opening the variable modal, each group is being expanded. Having a lot of component tokens as variables, this means either: Collapsing each group manually, until I get to the desired variable group. Or scrolling a looong way down until I reach the desired variable group. Solution: A) By default variable groups should be collapsed, not expanded B) A shortcut to collapse all groups

Launched: Add support for RTL languages

Hello! I wanted to report a problem with the text component The component works great in all languages, but I noticed that in the Hebrew language (and probably also in Arabic) the order of the letters is reversed This is a well-known problem in Hebrew because it needs RTL support .redro esrever ni nettirw si txet elohw eht taht si ti gnitartsurf woh kniht tsuJ (Just think how frustrating it is that the whole text is written in reverse.) Another important thing to note is that we (speakers of RTL languages) are very aware of this problem, but designers who do not speak these languages ​​often encounter this problem without noticing. For example, even in the familiar game - Brawl Stars (They corrected this after the post was published) and many others have problems with the Hebrew text displayed in the screenshots of the game in Google play For the developers of Figma- I found great documentation for the implementation of RTL in SVG: Creating SVG Tiny Pages in Arabic, Hebrew and other

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.

More functionality on the iOS and Android app

I would love to have some basic editing functionality on the iOS and Android App! For example to have at least some text editing options in the app instead of just being able to create comments. It would be super usefull in my FigJam files. The Microsoft Whiteboard app is a good example, but i’d love to use FigJam on my phone :)

Smart Auto-Fill for Text & Number Inputs

Feature Suggestion:Enable users to select one or multiple text components in Figma and auto-fill them with numbers, words, dates, or randomized placeholders. Users can choose from data types such as sequential or random numbers, lorem ipsum text, predefined word lists, or dynamic values like today’s date. This feature would streamline the process of populating mock designs, forms, or dashboards with realistic placeholder data, saving time, improving consistency, and enhancing prototyping efficiency. I know it could save me a a lot of time!

On-Premise Deployment of Figma

There are many legacy companies starting to value design a lot more, and they are hiring designers into their ranks to make their software products a lot better. At these places, there may be strict network or security requirements that our critical software must be self-hosted or deployed on-premise. For us designers, we join these companies in hopes of showing that design is about collaboration and working together, not about opaque hand-offs and “design black boxes”. What better tool do we have than Figma, to show the collaborative nature of design? Please please please do allow for on-premise deployments of Figma — and help us all in traditional companies bring change slowly, one tool at a time. 🙏 I understand that this feature request is pretty far-off from Figma’s product philosophy so far, but well… 🤞 (Hey, our companies usually can pay too.)

Use inverse of Boolean variable to show/hide layer

This has been mentioned here: Hide layer using variables - #5 by Andreas_Braendhaugen1 Invert boolean variable for layer display - #14 by Desislava_Slavkova Inverted Boolean Property - #2 by drewcovi_usb but those topics are all closed. I am looking for the availability to HIDE a layer when a Boolean variable is TRUE and SHOW it when it is FALSE. So, the inverse of the default/current behavior. I want to do this without using components. Use case: When a variable is true, show one frame. When that same variable is false, show a different frame. I can get basically this by using two different variables: but it would be more convenient to be able to do it with just one. Just give me a Boolean toggle when the variable is used to say if the variable should be inverted or not.

Setting to turn off automated lists

Does anyone know how to turn off Figma’s auto-formatting? I’m trying to type '- ', but it looks like Figma is assuming this text must be a bulleted list. I’m having a similar issue when using text that’s in the format of an email address or a url. Figma is changing these to unwanted links. I’d like to turn off all text auto-formatting.

Batch Frame Selection for Individual Instances

Currently, in Figma, the "Frame Selection" feature allows users to wrap a selected layer or instance in a frame. However, there is no built-in functionality to apply this action to multiple selected instances such that each instance is framed individually. Instead, users need to frame each instance manually one by one, which can be tedious and time-consuming, especially when working with a large number of instances.Proposed Solution: Introduce a new option, "Frame Each Selection", that:Automatically wraps each selected instance (or layer) into its own separate frame. Maintains the hierarchy and positioning of the original instances within their new frames.This feature would improve efficiency by reducing repetitive actions and enhancing workflow productivity, especially for users dealing with batch processing or large-scale design projects.

Define default padding for Auto Layout (or set to 0)

Describe the problem your experiencing and how your idea helps solve this When you create an autolayout frame, it always defaults to 10px. Many design systems call for an 8px grid and in many cases, users don’t want ANY padding especially where edge-to-edge designs are concerned. Ask questions to bring the community into the conversation What are everyone’s thoughts about the following solutions?: Default autolayout padding based on the big nudge amount in your settings Allow for tokenization of padding/margin grids and offer up autolayout parameters based upon those tokens Allow users to override the padding to 0px at the creation of the autolayout frame by using an alternative key command like ctrl+shift+a (command on mac)

Only show the frame you have selected and hide the others on the layers panel

I have jumped from Xd to Figma 2 years ago and it is so frustrating when you are working with many layers. When you select a frame that is directly on the canvas, why would i need to see all frames on the side panel when I am working on one. I want to see all the layers only when I click tha canvas. I have frames with thousands of layers inside and it gets really messy. And no, do not suggest to add new pages because that is not a solution.

Why not a FigJam pixel eraser like everyone else

Besides a PC, I work with an iPad with an Apple Pencil. In the FigJam for iPad, I found the eraser tool has no option like “pixel eraser” to remove part of my sketch strokes. This feature is widely available in many other apps including the native iOS Notes app. It is productive for hand drawing and prototyping. I would recommend it.
