Question

Shortcut “K” no longer auto-focuses Scale input when switching from Move tool

I’ve been using the “K” shortcut workflow for scaling for years, and something has clearly changed recently.

This directly affects efficiency and accuracy, so I want to raise it for the team’s attention.

Select any object
Press K
- Figma switches to the Scale tool
- Automatically focuses & highlights the X scale field
Type the desired scale value
Press Enter

Pressing K while:
- switches to the Scale tool
- but does NOT auto-focus the X scale input
Now I need to press K twice
- First: switch tools
- Second: focus the scale input field
