Bug: The Copy keyboard shortcut does not always work in Mac Figma

Sometimes cmd-c just doesn’t do anything. I have to right-click and select Copy from the context menu.

Sometimes it works, I have not so far found logic to it. The recent Figma update did not fix this. (I’m using the latest Mac build.)

This happens MANY times every day, and as I’m sure you can understand, is very annoying and slows down my work.

Hey,

I was referring to the Mac desktop app.

After testing it for some time, I can confirm that clearing the desktop cache helped. I lost my open tabs, which was a bit of a nuisance, but I’m glad I can copy & paste again :-)

Thank you for the help!

In the meantime, a few things that might help:

Let me know if any of these help, and I’m happy to troubleshoot further!
