I have very extensive prototype actions in my Figma files, whereby a lot of prototype interactions point to a UI element that sits much further away in my file. Whenever I want to edit that UI element (to which the interaction points), I need to move all the way over there (by following the blue line), which takes me considerable time taken together. My work in Figma would thus benefit a lot if there was a way to quickly jump to that UI element. Could this be a feature in @Figma_Moderation Thx

keyboard shortcut request for FigJam. if I have a line selected in FigJam and do ⌘-b it should make the line thicker (or thinner if line is already thicker)

I know there have been threads regarding this before but none of them seem active at the moment so I wanted to bring it up again. This is a major pain point when working with design systems that are intended to match code 1:1. As an example, I got a component that has an “id” text property that is supposed to apply to a nested text label component in one state, and to a nested button component in another state. Using the “expose properties from nested instances” cannot be used in this case because the property would not persist when the state changes. When using a modular design system it is also quite common that the original property belongs to a sub component of a sub component, making it very inconvenient to use the “expose properties” approach. Additionally, passing properties is a common pattern in code. Features like variables in Figma pave the way for building component libraries that more closely match code. But that also increases the need to be able to set up components and

our design team frequently work with the User Journey Map template in the app. The range of features within the product is impressive, however, we have identified some areas for improvements that could enhance the utility and performance of the app. Dynamic Addition of Rows and Synchronization of Notes: Current Issue: We encountered an issue where notes already posted do not synchronize when we add rows to the table. Suggestion: It would be beneficial to have a feature that allows us to group or ungroup specific notes with the frame of the table, giving us the flexibility to move notes around freely. Adaption from Miro’s USM Template: Current Issue: The current template lacks a feature that automatically shifts all other associations when a task is added in between. Suggestion: Similar to Miro’s USM template, we believe it would be very convenient if the tool could shift other linked tasks automatically when a new task is added in the middle.

change gradient rotation next to these arrows in settings

When i create master from instances i select by multi select, all instances that i want bind to master via (option - command - K), become same as masters. But what if i already change instance and i want it stay changed, how can i do this? And i also cant do this action in variant set. I cant make master from nested layers in master component

It would be very helpful if AI could read images and reproduce the content in FigJam. Screenshots of text, flowcharts or data tables. Sometimes all I have (from forums, blogposts or shared by colleagues) is just an image.

I would like to see my primitive color number directly in library panel bound to my token. When I select object, I often have to go to back to primitive color settings to double check if I remember color properly. Am I missing something or is my approach wrong? I am adding screens to explain my idea.

The same way as i can select layers by their position in layers three, i want to choose layers, that have same properties (all or just selected properties), it can work for default properties (like x, y, corner radius), and for custom properties (like variant properties), this way i can find same layers like instances very fast within one frame. Multiselect can not give me opportunity select same layers inside one frame, cause its work only with position in three

Would love to be able to have a doc view that is an in-between Dev-mode and Preview. Imagine Preview but being able to see all Frames instead of one by one and none of the highlighting of Dev-mode.

I was creating variants of a button component and that included buttons with icons. Later, the page with the button components grew to large so I thought I should create another page and move all buttons with icons there and put them under a different main component say “button-icon”. Now this process had me cut/copying and pasting the icons from the previous page to the new page. In the new page, an instance of the main component was created instead. So now I have to detach the instance…then that is where I got stuck. Since I have a new page created and a new main component, there should be a way to detach them from instance and make them a variant of the main component of my choice as long as the conditions are met i.e. the potential variant can actually become a variant of the main component since they are both buttons vis-a-vis making a card a variant of a button.

Hello, We are currently using the Figma Organization Plan and are struggling with the few licensing models you offer. You currently only offer full or viewer licenses (Viewer Restricted). In our organization we have many different roles and not everyone needs a full license (also in view of restrictions). Therefore, we would like to propose a solution that is between a full and a viewer license, perhaps with a limitation of editing rights to one document or a limitation of the number of edits per month or with an approval workflow for our professional designers to review.

I’ve begun to notice how Figma seems to prioritize automation and corporate needs (inevitably eliminating jobs) over designers’ requests to help GET work and apply for said jobs. When it comes to support and helping us with our portfolio’s – a huge part of being a designer – we’ve hardly seen improvements in the last 5 years. Speeding up and modernizing that workflow would be incredible useful. Some features we’ve all been begging for: Recording prototypes!! I mean, come on! YES-- there is a “work around” but isn’t that really the purpose of so much of the app? To work faster? We can also work around not having some of the component automation, too. And get paid for it. Being able to save MP4’s (and GIFS) at the full size, whereas Quicktime records the shrunken version, is not something we can currently do. Selecting either an arrow or touch cursor in prototype settings. This has to be as simple as it gets. Embed functionality, or lack thereof. I could be wrong about this, but it

Very often when you select another tool, it’s impossible to get back to the “move” with “V”. It’s been there for such a long time I got used to it. Randomly clicking other tools buttons trying to click back to V. This thing has survived min 4 years, 3+ laptops I’ve changed and multiple companies accounts I worked on.

Loving the new multi-edit feature launch! It’d be cool if the Quick actions / omni-search menu (⌘/) could have the new multi-edit actions put into it: I’ve been a big user of this menu since Figma was new and keep noticing more and more friction as features launch but rarely make their way into here anymore — especially some of the more buried actions like Strokes included vs excluded, canvas stacking order, etc.

I have a library of cover thumbnails that I use in projects. It looks great when the files are all grouped and shown in the single project view but from the main screen, thumbnails are cut off on the sides and shown in a cropped aspect ratio. I’ve followed the guides from the Figma Docs about safe zone and sizing but it’s kind of disappointing that there is a view that doesn’t play by those rules. Has anyone found a solution to show the full cover thumbnail in a project container?

It would be useful if the window had a resize or fullscreen mode so devs could test responsive modes.

When we enter the variable library to select a color and we have it in list mode, it is very difficult to differentiate the folders from the tokens (even though the latter have their color chip). Therefore, I propose that you give these lines of text extra weight or a little more size. Or both. Small adjustments that make our work easier. ☺️

Right now when I select a group and use the “frame selection” shortcut, it renames the frame to an arbitrary name like Frame 40. However when I select a group and use the drop down menu on the right pane to change it to a frame, the name of the group is carried over to the frame. I would like this to be the case also when I use the frame selection shortcut.

I am a Mac user. The default behavior in my desktop apps is that command-W closes the window while not quitting the app (like clicking the red dot). I would like this in Figma as well.

Just made hotkeys

Pourrait-on augmenter le contraste des variables ? Le chiffre est la donnée que je regarde, elle est quasiment illisible (diseable mode), c’est une fatigue visuelle importante, merci pour l’évolution future ;-).

I would like the possibility to update a variable on the artboard and push the changes to the collection. Sort of like the components work today where you can make changes directly to a component and then push the changes so it affects the parent component. This would let me avoid the steps of having to look up the variable I want to edit in the collection and update it there which is quite tedious in its current implementation. Thanks!

In Figma, I found that the Google fonts in Figma are not synchronized with the fonts in the Google Fonts webpage, and the fonts in Figma are very old!

Hi Figma developers! It turns out that exporting Figma fonts in JSON format provides the result that looks smth like this: "style": { "fontFamily": "Quattrocento Sans", "fontPostScriptName": "QuattrocentoSans-BoldItalic", "fontSize": 72, "fontWeight": 700, "italic": true, "letterSpacing": 0, "lineHeightPercent": 100, "lineHeightPx": 84.375, "lineHeightUnit": "INTRINSIC_%", "textAlignHorizontal": "CENTER", "textAlignVertical": "CENTER" }, for a page like this: And we face the necessity to invent some special algorithms for knowing the actual style name (that is “Bold Italic” in the ex
