Retain the same order of component properties when adding a second variant

For components that have a lot of component properties, it can be a real pain when you add another variant later on. If you have already arranged your component properties into an order that makes sense, adding another variant to the component messes up the order of component properties. So please can Figma respect the existing (user-defined) order of component properties when you add a second variant to a component?

Variables: Ability to let 'Viewers' select color variables eg. Light/Dark

I use color variables for a labeled-website that supports different retailer themes and have Light/Dark mode. I want QA/Dev Figma viewer users to be able to switch retailers/theme and switch between light and dark mode. I want the interface similair to what I see (as an editor) where I can select these values under the Layers panel. I would want to select which variables I want users to have access to.

Meta data in objects & SVG export

I’m in a position where I would really appreciate the ability to add meta-fields to objects that would transfer along with SVG exports. (Long story) You could write them under a specific namespace along with other SVG attributes. Besides string values, the ability to store a reference to another object in the SVG would be nice also (i.e. linking functionality between certain pieces) I’m now thinking of a naming scheme to implement these, but a native support would be swell.

Underlining text with descenders is broken

Underlines have been broken since I started using Figma when it first came out. It is the only thing that frustrates me (this program is perfect in every other way, seriously). There have been several tickets opened about it that were auto-closed due to inactivity: Text underline "ink skip" Fancier underlines for links Type setting for underline to ignore descenders The basic problem (and I will re-use an image from that first link, thank you @jdb) is that descenders (seen on glyphs like “g” or “j”) are overlapped by the underline in text elements. The top example (without ink skip) is the way it currently works, and the bottom (with ink skip) is the default behavior in web browsers and is currently not possible in Figma: Is there a possibility that we can get a font option to allow for this behavior? As @Lino_Ramirez and @Gary_Tam have mentioned, this is a CSS option that can be configured. I understand that it’s most likely not as easy as adding an option to enable some CSS proper

Layout Grid section in Scoping mode

We have a typography section when we want to scope variables. What about a Layout Grid section in Scoping mode? Here’s a simple Photo for maybe a better understanding: Wouldn’t it make the work a little bit easier/more comfortable/better? Even if it is just a 1% improvement.

Make all modal windows higher! / resizable

The Interaction details modal is not very tall, making that extra scroll mandatory to set up custom bezier EACH time we create a Smart Animate animation which is probably 100000x a day . It would be a time-saver to just make that modal higher. We use very large screen in our office and this window could be at least 3 times higher and still have space under it 😅.

Toggle Browser Overlays

I’m building a web app. The issue I have is that the mobile frame options in Figma don’t include the header and footer that browsers have. So when you preview your work, it looks like a native app, not how you’d actually see it when browsing the web on a phone. I know I can manually add this as a header and footer for every frame for every page of the site I’m designing, but it’s kind of a pain. Real mobile browsing includes these headers and footers of the browser. 2. 3: Would like to see an option to turn on this kind of overlay for frames, so I can easily design for mobile browsing, and not just for native apps.

Sort by last edited

In Figma, all the boards, etc can only be sorted by when I last viewed. That’s not very useful (I know what I’ve viewed) What would be much more useful would be to view by last edited so I can view what is the most recently changed thing.

Component toggle to allow freely adding/rearranging nested contents

Allow users to toggle a setting for components to allow freely adding/rearranging nested contents instead of relying on the ‘slot component’ workaround or nesting a dozen possible UI elements with boolean toggle ‘Hide/Show’ variants. This would be especially helpful for container/sheet/section components that really only need to define radius/border/spacing/padding.

Control variant export naming (especially for icons)

When exporting variant names, the file name becomes a combination of all the variant properties. There is no way to control the variant export name, which is especially difficult for developer hand-off. In this example, I have a back icon variant group (Named “Back”) containing both an Apple and an Android variant of the back icon. If I then go to export the Apple variant as an SVG, The variant export name then defaults to “OS Type=Apple.svg” It would be even worse if I had multiple properties. For example, having two more properties could result in a variant name export as “OS Type=Apple, Direction=Left, Style=Line.svg” This is a very poor naming convention, especially for icons. What I would like to have is the ability to control the name given to each variant export. In the above example, I would like the Apple icon to export as the name “back.ios.svg” and the Android icon to export as “back.android.svg”. This way, our developers can export assets as needed directly from Figma wi

Add caption property to images

If I want to add a comment/caption to an image in FigJam I need to create a separate Text and Group the elements together - I would love to have an “auto caption” added to images I use in FigJam - Whimsical has something similar, that is pretty handy, see the video here: CleanShot 2021-05-10 at 16.36.56 · CleanShot Cloud

When switching pages in a file, focus on my view to where there is content to see

I hate that when I’m switching between pages in a file, I am always seeing NOTHING. Could you take me to the top most artboard, layer, or a view where most of the artboards/content is so that I could know where to zoom in?

For resetting instances, please add "Reset all but text"

It’s frustrating how easily instances lose connection to their components, but more frustrating still is having to reset all, which happens often, because then you have to re-enter or paste in all of the text. Please add “Reset all but text” such that it recognizes your overridden text for what it is: an override.

Figma Slides Improvements

My team and I have been working in Figma Slides and trying to see if we can convince our company to move off of PPT. To do that, I need this tool to be easier to use than PPT for non tech/design folks (sales and marketing teammates who are not familiar with Figma). That being said, we have a couple points of frustration: There might be a way to do this, but I can’t find it (and we’ve used Figma for years and years), but it’s driving me CRAZY that I can’t use variables or styles from our other libraries in Slides. It would save us so much time. Why do Slides create so many ‘libraries’/‘themes’ in a single file? How do we get rid of them? It happens when we paste things from another file (we often make assets in Figma files before pasting them into slides). This is also driving me crazy. I need ONE theme in these files. And I would like that theme to match the theme we’ve already created in Figma with our variables. Overall I don’t understand why theming a Slides file is so dang hard. I

It’s so limited and we have to clear it everytime. Increasing the limit or making it unlimited and wrap the text is a great idea.

Cycle through variants rapidly via a keyboard shortcut

TL;DR I want to select a variant by what it looks like, without needing to (mentally) translate it into words. Let me cycle through variants rapidly with a keyboard shortcut. Example: (exact key combinations flexible) Cycle to next variant: CMD + Ctrl + > Cycle to previous variant: CMD + Ctrl + < Press and hold either down to rapidly cycle through all Process steps (what I should be able to do): Select a component variant I’ve placed in a design frame. Use a keyboard shortcut to quickly cycle to the next variant. If I overshoot (cycle past it), use the related keyboard shortcut to cycle back one variant. (shortcut with “<” instead of “>”, for example) Benefits: My eyes stay in one place, instead of moving back and forth between the icon and the variant properties in the right panel. The eye-travel requires re-centering each time, to triangulate the correct drop-down. I don’t have to navigate several drop-downs, each with multiple options. A huge reduction in

Nested auto layout property inheritance

Nested auto-layouts have a broken hierarchy. You may think that settings or properties applied to the outermost autolayout will be inherited down the line, but they are not. Take for example strokes or corner radius. Let’s say that you have a big auto-layout box (lets call it parent) with another 3 auto-layout boxes in horizontal direction nested inside of it (lets call them children). If I want to apply corner radius to the edges of the parent box and I do so in it’s settings it does nothing. The only way to do it now is to apply corner radiuses to the upper left and down left corners of the left child box and the upper right and down right corners of the right child box SEPARATELY. Imo this is insane. Same applies for applying strokes and many more settings and properties. Figma pleaaaase fix this. On the other hand if this is done by design please explain why. Thank you in advance!

(Minor bug) No animation around skipped slides

Minor issue in Figma Slides: If you set all the slides to animate (e.g. dissolve), then this layout: [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ] [ 5 ] works as expected. Changing slides dissolves the view between all of them. But, if you hide a slide (using “Skip slide” option): [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ] [ 5 ] then the animation works between 1-2 and 4-5, but there’s no animation between 2-4. The skipped slide causes the transition to be instant - no dissolve, no push, nothing.

Unusual Line Separator In Figma Text

Describe the problem your experiencing and how your idea helps solve this Copying text from figma that has shift+enter line spacing introduce unusual line terminator character. This usual character will display on some web browsers. Add as much context as possible (screenshots, Figma files, mockups, etc.) Create any text layer Enter any text then force line separator using shift+enter Copy text and check using tools like unicode detector https://www.textmagic.com/free-tools/unicode-detector and you will see an invalid unicode character. Ask questions to bring the community into the conversation (e.g. Does anyone else experience this? Is anyone using a plugin or workaround to help solve this?, etc. Clean up manually using text editor like visual studio code.

Select all in folder with recommended instances for property swap

I add an icon library to my file. When swapping instances, I would like a property to have the icons form a specific category within the library file suggested. I used the “select all instances” in the selection menu, but when adding more icons to the category, the new ones were not included when the library were updated - as it was a checkbox, I assumed it would keep selecting all in the category when new icons were added.
