Option+Command+V is not working

Hey ​@Anna Ardysheva, thanks for reaching out! 

To help narrow things down, a couple of questions:

1. What version of Figma Desktop are you on? You can check under the Figma menu > Help and account > About Figma.
2. Does the same issue happen in the browser version of Figma?

In the meantime, a couple of things worth trying:

1. Try the menu path instead of the shortcut: right-click a layer and select Copy/paste as > Paste properties. This helps confirm whether it's the shortcut binding or the underlying action that's affected.
2. Check whether another app on your system has claimed Opt + Cmd + V as a global shortcut, clipboard managers, communication tools, and some accessibility apps can intercept these silently.
3. If the shortcut continues to be unresponsive, you can also reassign it temporarily via macOS System Settings > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts > App Shortcuts, add Figma and set "Paste Properties" to a different key combination while we dig into this.

For reference on how Paste properties is expected to work with text selections, our Copy and paste properties between layers article has a good overview.

Once you share those details, I can take it from there!

Hi ​@Gayani_S I am having this issue as well. I believe the underlying action is affected. `Paste properties` notification or effect does not happen on any of the below:

• Shortcut: Opt + Cmd + V
• Menu path: Copy/Paste as… → `Paste properties`
• Macro modal: Cmd + / → type `Paste properties` → Hit `Enter`

Hey ​@Ryan8 👋 Thanks for the follow up. I’d like to get this on to support. Along with what you already provided, would you be able to share the following:

• What version of Figma Desktop are you on? You can check under the Figma menu > Help and account > About Figma
• Does the same issue happen in the browser version of Figma?
• Can you share a not-zoomed in screen-recording of the issue happening? This is always very useful for support (if there are privacy issues, this can be shared as an attachment in a support ticket)

If so, I’ll open a support ticket for us. Talk soon! — Jaycee

I was able to refine the reproduction steps for the error. A text box with multiple text styles in it cannot contain a source for copied properties, even if a specific word in that is highlighted as a source for those copied properties.

Reproduction steps

1. Make a text box with some text in it.
2. Make one word bold.
3. Select that word. Copy properties.
4. Try to paste the properties onto a non-bold word in that text box.

Answers to your questions

• Figma Desktop App version 126.6.9
• Yes
• Screen recording attached, with Keyboard Viewer visible. I am showing 3 different methods failing: keyboard shortcuts, menu path, and macros. Successful cases as well as unsuccessful as described above.

I am also having this exact same issue.

My desktop version is also 126.6.9

 

Hey ​@Ryan8 👋 Thank you for the assist. I opened a support ticket for us (ID 1981032) The subject line is — Paste properties not applying from mixed-style text source — all invocation methods. Please keep any eye on your email inbox for any replies and follow ups from support. Have an awesome rest of your week! — Jaycee

Same problem here. Font properties are not copied. I think it copies only line height. 

In browser and in desktop version 126.4.11

Hi guys, it’s been two weeks already (update in between included) and the issue hasn’t been fixed yet. Could you look into this? Thank you.

Hey ​@Adam Banaszek and ​@Pablo_Marfa, thanks for checking back in. I've been in touch with our Technical Quality team and they're prioritizing this. We'll follow up here as soon as there's an update.
