Question

How to turn off text autofill?

Just like iphone autofill, I found the autofill very annoying. It auto fill the wrong text that I did not want. I got to delete and re typing a lot. It should have a clearer way of signify Figma to fill in or not fill in, take devs' text suggestion for examples. And please provide me a way to turn it off.

Same issue for me; I’m trying to figure out how to turn it off.

This seems to be a new feature, or it was automatically turned on recently. It happens when I start typing, and the text frame wants to auto-fill.

Hey All, thank you for reaching out! 

I hear you. It must be frustrating to have the wrong text autofill.

The good news is you can disable text suggestions from the Main Menu > Text > Toggle off Show text suggestions.

 

Please let me know if you have any further questions.

    It’s great that you can turn off the suggestions, but that does not disable the tab shortcut.

    I love that hitting tab takes me to the next text box that I want, almost always, until now. Much frustration stems from this unexpected behavior on one of my favorite quality of life features, giving me a ‘no suggestions found’ toast.

     

    Now I’m hitting shift+tab, tab, tab and that’s not super efficient.
