I have been using the Copy Properties shortcut for years, but it suddenly stopped working in the past few weeks. I can still right-click to select ‘Copy Properties’ and use the keyboard shortcut to paste properties. Is this a bug after the updates?

Hi ​@Anna Ngai — thanks so much for flagging this and for including those screenshots, that’s super helpful.

I just tested this on my end using both an accessory keyboard and the internal keyboard on a MacBook Pro, and the copy properties shortcut worked as expected. Are you still seeing the issue on your side?

If so, let’s try narrowing it down a bit. When you have a moment, could you check on the following:

  • Is this happening in the browser, desktop app, or both?
  • If you’re using a browser, which one?
  • If using the desktop app, can you confirm it’s version 125.5.6?
  • Does this happen across all components/instances, or just specific ones?

If everything above checks out and the issue continues, it’d be helpful for our Product Support team to take a closer look. When you can, please reach out to them directly and include:

  1. the link to this Forum thread for context
  2. a full-size screen recording of the issue (if possible)
  3. a link to the affected file
  4. edit access granted to support-share@figma.com.

Appreciate you reporting this and taking the time to troubleshoot — keep us posted with how it’s going!

I have the same issue for months now.

Copying properties doesn't work with the shortcut (it doesn't show a highlight effect when the keyboard keys window is open in Figma)

But right clicking does copy the properties and pasting it does work with the shortcut.

Really blocking my workflow speed.

The same! Please fix it, it’s really slowing down the work drastically
