Suggest a Feature

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 make it possible to control which properties of nested components (atoms) can be used in higher components (molecules). What if I use same nested component in different objects and I don’t need some properties in both of them? What if I don’t need some booleans which is part of variants of that atom in molecule? Please fix it, thank you.

Hello Figma! I can not change the direction of the Autolayout on the instances of a component. I can not understand why such a great feature is disabled on the instances and why not allow us to overwrite it? There are so many incidents that I would have wished to be able to change the direction of the Autolayout in the instances of the component but right now I have to create multiple variants. 😦

I would love if Figma integrated a smarter paragraph composer for Thai. Currently, our linguists have to manually update line breaks for Thai during QA, but I feel that most of this could be avoided if there was a dictionary-based approach to when lines break in Thai. I’m aware that non-breaking spaces could be used by the Thai linguist, but I’d love if this was more automated.

On this page https://www.figma.com/community/education, I would like to have a search bar below the description for Education or on the same level as filters. There is a search bar in the top right corner of this page, but it doesn’t filter the content on my current page. Education filter search bar ideas 

Hey hey! Sometimes me and my team works on branches. This is fine if you know where you are looking in specific team / project however that’s not the case when searching. The file “card” doesn’t show if the file has branches in the search results. I guess my ask would be to add same interface I can see within a project when I hover over a file to search results file as well. Many love! <3

Middle-clicking a file in the file list should open it in a new tab. This is expected browser behavior on Linux (edit: also on Mac).Current Figma implementation is blocking it.

I'm really enjoying the Actions menu! It would be awesome to have the option to access the Assets tab directly as well, just like we can currently access the Assets left panel with a keyboard shortcut. This way, we could set a custom shortcut to open the Assets tab directly from the Actions floating menu.  ​@Figma_Desktop🙏

I prefer to use Figma when the left panel is hidden. When I have to search for components, I either need to reveal the left panel or use the actions panel, which doesn’t allow me to quickly search components, as I have to use both the mouse and keyboard for every single component. Please allow using tab in the command menu.  

I am trying to export an entire figma make prototype to figma designs. It seems crazy to have to do this screen by screen when there is so much embedded functionality (modals, tabs etc). Is there plan to do this in the future? Or am I missing something 😅 Thank you!

Allow the users can move the new toolbar through the canvas, that today is fixed underneath the page. I liked the new version but I believe some extra flexibility on it would be welcome.

I absolutely love Figma Slides!! It’s so cool that slides automatically get grouped into bundles. However, I feel like if there was a way to label these groups, I can organize my rather large (100+ slides) presentation better. Thanks a lot for the amazing work, team! <3

Request: Through the Figma MCP, access contents of comments made in Figma Design file.Reason: Can provide context for designs, review bugs, etc.Current response from OpenAI Codex with direct link to comment:No, not the comment itself.What I can see from that link is the node it points to:file: XXXXXXnode: XXXXXXscreen: /sign-up-2 (iOS)That screen contains:nav title Sign UpEmail and Password inputsSign Up primary CTAContinue with AppleContinue with Googledivider OrAlready have an account? Sign inbottom legal linksBut I still cannot read the actual Figma comment thread or the #XXXXXX anchor content from this session.If you want, paste the comment text here and I can map it to this exact screen and tell you what change it implies. 

Hi,“Hide prompts when sharing a Make prototype” seems extremely straightforward, but is not yet possible, thus this feature request.I love working with Figma Make and want to integrate it into the prototyping workflow. Unfortunately, sharing Make prototypes turned out to be a real headache. But without being able to share a prototype externally (and temporarily), the whole Make prototyping workflow doesn’t make sense, since copying the prototype pages into design doesn’t copy any interactions or animations. The goal: Share the Make full-screen preview with external viewers, without showing the AI chat history # Problem 1: Prototype viewable for logged-in users onlySharing did not work for not logged-in users, for whatever reason. Figma support couldn’t help either, thus it might be a bug.Workaround: Create a free account for the viewer, then share the full-screen previewTo shorten and speed up the wh

I’d like the possibility to automatically post an update message on Slack every time an update to a library file is published. Ideally the message includes: Name of the library Changelog (user submitted text in the publishing dialog) List of the impacted components This would make it easier for other designers and developers to notice and discuss such updates.

Dear Figma team,Please consider adding support for pixelated, stepped, or chamfered corner styles for Auto Layout objects.If native support is not currently possible, it would be very helpful to expose additional corner geometry controls for FrameNode in the Plugin API so the community can build custom solutions.This would significantly expand layout styling possibilities while preserving the flexibility of Auto Layout.Thank you! 🖖🏻

It would be useful to be able to add a trigger to a frame that once it ‘loads’ some kind of interaction would kick-off. This would mean that not every prototyped action needs to be on click or on some clear action on the user’s part and would also allow for variables to be used to check what states components should be in so that we can have conditional logic per page.

When publishing resources (Figma Slides templaces or custom plugins and widgets) you can´t publish for a Workspace only. You can publish to entire organization or current team only.

Enough time has passedI think that Figma should Implement Latex support (Math Equation) natively instead of doing it by plugin which makes the equations in to vector format and its very hard to use with text whenever we use it with text and all…. Its also a suggestion to add at-least a font which support Latex if the above request is hard to implement.

It would be a great idea to add the ability to move annotations (сhanging the place). Right now, they’re fixed in place and can overlap other elements. And you cannot change it.What I mean is the ability to reposition an annotation freely while keeping the link to the target object intact.Annotations are a really useful feature—thank you! Previously, I had to create similar functionality using my own objects. Please do not move this offer to another discussion. 🙏Can we move the Figma Annotations (in dev mode) from one Figma project to another?These are different questions.

Hi again Figma Team! So Would like us to have the option to assign different colors for each Mode without the need to create a Variable. In code we can assign different colors for items based on the Mode without defining it in our CSS sheet. example we would write this inline CSS as "background-color: light-dark(#ffffff, #000000);”I did a quick mockup of how this would look like but appearance doesn’t matter as long as we have the option to do this. It would reduce a lot of clutter when creating tokens and would give us a good  flexibility to color stuff that are a 1 timer case  

Hey Figma Team! I would like us to adopt the option of having Opacity Properties panel for colors. We can do this in code so I don’t see a reason that our design tool can’t do this simple thing. In CSS we can do “var(--foreground), transparent 50%)” and same thing in Tailwind which is much simpler “fill-foreground/50”. We can also achieve this in Mobile too with different scripts. Right now my work around for this is that I need to create a new Variable for this specific opacity and it creates too many unnecessary tokens that we can avoid.   

Like the title says. It would be awesome if you could just use a picture you took from a sketch or a whiteboard of a diagram, and FigJam could convert it to a digital diagram.

The experience of Move to Page can be frustrating and inefficient. That's because when a user moves a frame/section to another page:there is no immediate feedback to where the element was placed user must manually go to the page and search for the moved element often, the element is placed using the same absolute coordinates, and that can result in it being placed on top of other elementsThis creates unnecessary hassle, especially in large files with many sections, frames and components. I can think in 3 possible solutions for this problem, I hope my suggestions can help y'all (and myself!):Auto-navigate after moving: after using Move to Page, automatically switch to the destination page and bring the moved frame into view, allowing the user to immediately position it (similar behavior in Apple Finder).
