Is anyone else having the issue when trying to type a word like “Discovery” (with a capital D, using Shift + D) that they go into developer mode? 😫

This feels like a major bug, especially if I’m in the mode to type.

Oh goodness...now it thinks I want to view/hide comments when I’m trying to capitalize a C (shift + C). When did this update happen 😭 why didn’t they just use command on Mac to switch modes, totally ruining my flow 😭😭😭

Hey ​@NLL, thanks for flagging this! 

I just tested this out in the browser and using the desktop app, and these keyboard shortcuts aren’t being unexpectedly activated for me. 

Can you please confirm if you’re creating a new text field and/or editing an exiting one?
When editing existing text, are you double-clicking/deep selecting into your text field for editing?

I forgot to update this.

I was editing an existing text field (I may have had to double click to deep select but I can’t remember now). It might’ve been a glitch because the next day it was fine (I may have restarted my Figma app that day). Super random and weird. Thank you for following up.
