Title basically explains it. The “CMD + \” keyboard shortcut to show/hide the UI in both Figma and Figjam isn’t working for me. I reloaded the page and restarted Figma but still not working. I use this shortcut multiples times a day so it’s definitely impacting my workflow. 

 

I’m on a MacBook Pro with M4 Pro, Sequoia 15.3.1

Hey ​@d.lui, thanks for flagging this! 

We just tested this out, and the shortcut is working as expected on the desktop app and in browser for us in both Figma and FigJam.

  • What keyboard layout are you using (i.e. U.S. QWERTY)? 
  • Does anything happen when attempting to use Cmd + \?  
  • Is this shortcut by any chance being used by any other app on your MacBook? (1Password, for example, is known to override Figma’s Cmd + \ shortcut.)

With this information, we’ll hopefully be able to pinpoint what is causing the issue.
