Show/hide UI shortcut suddenly stopped working


Tascha

Am I the only one or did the shortcut to toggle the UI stop working all of a sudden a few days ago? 🤔

I’m on a german keyboard on windows (so the shortcut should be an has been ^ until recently), I also tried clearing the Figma cache but no budge.
(I also saw a forum post abt the same topic on norwegian keyboard so maybe there’s some connection to that?)

Hey all! Got an update from engineering: can you all restart the app on your computers and see if the shortcuts are working as expected now? There were some adjustments and fixes pushed out. Let me know if it still seems broken.

Hey both - I think this is related to an existing bug that our engineering team is already looking at. I don’t have an immediate solution, but I’ll update this thread when I get an update.

Hi there,

Thanks for reaching out. I’m checking with our internal team. I will get back to you if I have anything I can share with you.

Thanks for your patience.

Just updated to 124.1.16, The only Show/Hide UI hotkey which works for me is CMD-. (command and period)

Doesn’t matter which keyboard layout I select and/or if I re-open the app. System layout is ABC on MacOS.

Hi everyone,
After checking internally, refreshing the tabs seem to resolve it. If you are still running into issues, please reach out directly to our support team: here
They can investigate it further. Please use your Figma email account, your desktop specs, and if this is happening on browser, desktop app or both! Thank you

@Wilfried_Bock this worked for me, thanks! It used to be shift + \ last time I used show/hide and now my Figma shows to use a key that doesn’t exist on my keyboard… 😪 

Glad you posted command + . 

🙏
