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.
Expected Behavior
-
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
Current Behavior
-
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
-
This breaks the entire workflow, and my muscle memory leads to accidental opacity changes (e.g., typing 5 changes opacity to 50 instead of scaling).
