While establishing local variables for a dashboard with large-scale numbers, I’m finding that the value field does not support “,” (commas) as a character. This makes numbers beyond 3 digits much harder to read at a glance. It also breaks stylistic choices for typographic reasons. One solution that comes to mind is to have a global style mode for whether commas are auto-placed in numeric strings, either at the local variable stage for numbers or in type-setting options. This would reduce work on the user’s end for having to manually place every comma, and also ensure consistency from a calculation standpoint (so that Figma has an accurate number to reference in equations).

Would it be possible to make the crop feature accessible via a keyboard shortcut when editing an image? I use this functionality frequently and find it somewhat inefficient to have to manually select the icon each time.Additionally, I noticed an inconsistency in behavior: double-clicking a cropped image enters crop mode, whereas double-clicking an uncropped image does not. It would be helpful if the interaction were consistent in both cases.Lastly, I observed that the “Create Frame” function is currently assigned to two shortcuts: ‘A’ and ‘F’.

I’m always working on large projects where I’m jumping between creating concepts and diagrams and referencing all of them. It’s a hassle having to maintain two different files, especially when sharing and gathering feedback from stakeholders. An example is when I’ve created a flow diagram in FigJam and then I want to walk through wireframes based on that diagram. I usually end up jumping between both files, which is confusing for people, or creating a flow in Figma, which is way less flexible than FigJam for creating diagrams. It would be great if there was a way to embed or integrate sections of a FigJam file into a Figma file and vice versa. Along with that, I’d need a way to edit embedded sections.

As I was looking for a way to do this natively in Figma, I came across this concept article on Medium. In the article, Андрей Насонов (Andrey Nasonov) describes adding the option to choose alignment in the image settings beyond the default centered. This would be a simple but huge improvement to image settings, especially for responsive design. Here’s his example of how that might look on the Properties Panel for images:

Would be really good to import SVGs into Figma Make.

Figma has added percentages to text styles, which is fantastic. However, when the style is linked to a variable, the percentage is removed, and uses px units instead. I am trying to set up my design system using a scalable token system, and little features that don’t quite work are so frustrating. Please allow variables to support percentages! It will help us not need to use plugins like Token Studio. 

I’d like to be able to create aliases for text styles, colors, shadows, etc. For example, I have the color “Color/Primary/500” and would like to create the color “Button/Primary/Background” that is a link to the first color, so if “Colors/Primary/500” is changed, “Buttons/Primary/Background” would change too. This would also be useful for text styles, effect styles and any other named style, allowing to create a kind of root tokens that can be reused under different purpose names.

The text above the top left of the frame is very small. Please have some setting so that when you zoom in a lot, the text no longer stays the same size and enlarges, so you can at some point easily see the text and be able to edit it easily. Sometimes I have to take a screenshot and then zoom in to see what i’ve typed. Other text in other apps appear easily readible. I remember another app ( I think Sketch) did this, when you zoom past 100% it keeps the font size relative to the zooms instead. so the artboard name becomes larger and larger.

When adding an additional interaction to a component (within the “Interaction” floating window), for actions such as ‘navigate to’, ‘open overlay’ and ‘swap overlay’, we have to select the right frame from a huge dropdown list which enlists all the frames in the page. This is crazy. Even if I give my frame a unique name to make it easily identifiable, it is still extremely difficult to go through the list and find the frame as the list is not even sorted alphabetically. And it doesn’t even only list the frames within my space, but ALL the frames in the page.A simple search bar will solve the problem. Combine that with the ability to first see the frames within a space in the list, it gets even better. Would also be great if we could drag noodles like we do with single interactions.It’s highly frustrating to look for a frame in this panel. Kindly add this simple feature that will be a huge boost to usability. 

In an file you have 50-70+ prototype on single page, and you generally remember by name, so if we have something like search by name on prototype side, we can easily find the prototype

When I open a comment in Figma and start replying, but then click outside of it to do something, when I click back in the comment to continue my reply, the text I’ve entered so far is gone. This has lead me to loose several bigger chunks of already written replies and it’s very frustrating.Steps to reproduce:Open a Figma file with a comment there Click on comment to see the comment text/thread and the Reply field Click in Reply field to start adding a reply Type something in the Reply field, but don’t send it Click outside of the comment, anywhere on the canvas, so the comment box disappears Click on the comment again to bring back the comment box Reply field has been reset, the previously entered reply segment (that has not been sent) is goneExpected way for this to work:Reply text segment that has not been sent should be retained, so after doing something e

I would like to start a design in Figma Make or import Figma Design project, and then edit with Make. At some point, I would like to export for manual editing in Design and import back to Make for additional adjustments. Is that possible? 

I’d love a copy button for comments in Figma. Sometimes I need to copy feedback from one file to another. A quick copy button would make this much smoother than having to manually highlight the text and press cmd+c every time.

I love that Ctrl + Z can go back through all of my selections. However, I do NOT love that it remembers even when I’m clicking between pages. If I make changes on one page, then navigate to another page, then navigate back to the page I made changes on, I want the Ctrl + Z to undo the changes I made on that page, not “undo” the navigational actions I did by walking me back to the earlier page and back to the page again before letting me undo the changes.

It would be great if the GET Project Files route returned the editorType value for each file with its response. My app pulls down the file content for so many files unnecessarily, only to discard them after reading the editorType value once I already have the content.

Hi there,Please see attached screenshot. In my opinion these sliders should on value changed should trigger the MAC touchpad haptic feedback. I feel like that would be a sweet user experience as when you’re currently sliding on a mac touchpad it doesn’t have any haptic feedback. There are other components which utilise this. Cheers 

I’d love to be able to disable all interaction with a video in Presentation Mode.This is so that a large video does not impede the viewer from advancing to the next slide by playing/pausing the video on click.Right now for any large videos / video backgrounds, I have to create a 0% opacity text link over the entire video to ensure it advances to the next page when clients click it.

User StoryAs a FigJam user, I often use FigJam to sketch out rough ideas (for example, a “fat-marker” diagram). When doing this, I also often want to add notes or write down ideas for specific areas on the canvas, which may contain multiple different elements.To do this today, I have a few options:I can “highlight” the area / elements I want to note with a bordered rectangle or another element, and then attach a note to that rectangle with an arrow, but this obscures the area I’m highlighting. I can draw with the pen tool and do the same thing as the above, but this also obscures the area I’m highlighting. I can copy the elements in the area I want to highlight, move them to the side, then add notes there, but this isn’t always super easy to do when elements are grouped or locked. I can screen shot the area I want to highlight, add the screenshot to the canvas, then add notes to that screenshot, but if I chan

I’ve just applied variables to all our project’s text styles. It all works as expected. However, in inspect mode, font weight it still displayed as normal css value and not with css-variable. See screenshots. Is this a bug or me messing up things?

Hi, my organization is creating a pretty robust template for our entire company. We have opted to make figma buzz templates component sets, as these are templates with many variants interconnected. However,  we’ve noticed that as you make component sets in Figma Buzz, the names of each frame disappear and become the name of the main component. I think the change layout update is great, but being able to pre-name this existing variables with naming conventions would be great for non-designers using the templates to better navigate the options.  

Is there any way to access the device switcher in Make when “playing” the prototype (not in editor mode)?

While working with masked images, adjusting the image fill currently requires multiple clicks — we need to open the right-side panel, go into Fill → Image → and then select from Fill, Fit, Crop, or Tile.It would be much more efficient if these four options (Fill, Fit, Crop, Tile) appeared directly below the Fill option once an image is detected — similar to how Adobe InDesign offers direct toggles for image fitting.This small UX improvement would significantly speed up workflows, especially for designers who frequently adjust images within frames or masks.Thank you for considering this enhancement!

It would be great, if one could search for Figma variables within the library analytics. Benefit: Evaluating how often a variable is being used:  Can a variable be deleted?  How big is a breaking change?    It would also be great, if the analytics view would be fullscreen. Especially if you have long token names. (Adjustable column width would be a solution too)   

This feature enables users to directly extract and copy text from images (JPEG, PNG, etc.) within Figma. It utilizes Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology to recognize and convert text within an image into editable text layers. This functionality enhances productivity by allowing designers to quickly integrate text data from visual assets without manual transcription. Use Cases: Efficient Workflow: Designers can seamlessly transfer text from mood boards, screenshots, and scanned documents into their designs. Accessibility Improvement: Extracting text from images and converting it into editable formats can help improve the accessibility of documents by allowing for easy adjustments to text size, color, and font, making it more readable. Error Reduction: Reduces transcription errors and saves time by automating the text digitization process. Implemen

Sería de gran utilidad, que se integrara un buscador por imagen para encontrar rápidamente diseños y propuestas dentro de un equipo grande de trabajo sobre suite de productos.
