Stop change components width properties to [fill] when adapt Auto-layout on Variant Sets

Same as Title. Stop change components width properties to [fill] when adapting Auto-layout on Variant Sets very first time. It’s very annoying work to check everytime i adapt Auto-layout on Variant Sets that i designed typical width size for a Variants. This issue makes me spend more time to double check the properties. Small detail can make users happy.

Add 1080p TV device frame

[> Please search for existing topics before posting! Press 🔍 at the upper right to search.] Hi there! I’m wondering if there’s a reason why the only option for a TV device frame is 1280x720 when the standard for TV app design is 1920x1080 (at least for Apple’s tvOS). 📺 I found that this question was discussed here in 2022, but the thread has closed and 1280 remains the only TV device frame size. I created an entire prototype (screen recording linked below) at 1280 because I wanted to present it to the client within the slick-looking TV device frame, but now our dev team has to scale everything up 1.5x. For the most part this isn’t a big problem; it just creates one extra step in the workflow that shouldn’t really be necessary. So does anyone know why Figma’s only TV device frame option is 1280? Is there some reason why TV apps should be designed at this size rather than 1920? Thanks! drive.google.com

Add "Selection Text Styles"

Trust me I’ve searched for a plugin that does what I want to do - I simply cannot find one Which leads me to ask **Would it be possible to add a section / feature in the “Design” side menu similar to the “Selection Colors” section that pops up when selecting multiple frames or elements on a given page?.. ** Why? As of right now, we’re in the process of determining text style equivalencies for our web app that would need to use different text sizes as breakpoints increase. In the early process of creating our design system for this new project, it would be great to see, at a glance, all the text styles currently in use for one breakpoint to see if there are consolidations we can do prior to exploring the text style scaling or equivalencies for larger UI.

Variable change listener interaction

Hello! As mentioned earlier in posts such as Prototype - Interactions - Event listener & ElseIF conditional, it would be really useful to have interactions trigger from variable changes. Right now, you can already accomplish these by combining conditional statements with the “After delay” interaction, but it is extremely tedious to maintain and demands a lot of janky component work (see example of implementation in video). Simply having “Listen for change in variable X” as an interaction would be a really powerful tool to create reusable components for advanced prototypes.

“Driven” variables for advanced prototyping

“Driven” variables for advanced prototyping Currently, when you link a variable to a UI property or component property (like the width of a frame), updating the variable in the variable panel automatically changes the property. In this setup, the variable controls the property. But what if the user could opt to reverse this relationship? Instead of the variable controlling the property, the property controls the variable. To enable this, we could introduce the concept of “driven” variables. A “driven” variable would update its value whenever the linked property changes. For example, if the width of a frame is linked to a driven variable, resizing the frame both editing AND prototyping mode would update the variable with the new width. Use Cases: Resizable objects in Prototyping Mode: With driven variables, properties like the width of a frame could become user-adjustable in prototypes, and the new size would automatically update the variable. Custom Breakpoints in Prototyping mode:

Export local variables as a single file for handoff

Description: The feature allows users to export local variables from Figma as a single file, making it easier to share design tokens and maintain consistency across projects. Current Format: Currently, local variables in Figma need to be copied individually or manually noted down, which can lead to errors and inconsistencies when transferring information between team members or projects. Proposed Enhancement: Implement an export option that allows users to select multiple local variables and save them as a single JSON or PDF file. This file can then be easily shared or imported into other projects or reviewed by developers. Benefits: Streamlines collaboration by ensuring all team members have access to the same variables. Reduces manual errors and saves time in the design handoff process. Enhances consistency across designs by providing a single source of truth for variables. Others: This feature could also include an option to import previously exported variable files, creating a se

Cropping the image with cmd does not work correctly in Figma slide

When I crop a image with “cmd” pressing, crop from the top then crop from the bottom, it will replace the image position again to align the bottom and I will have to redo the procedure again. This is a frequent step when making quick slides, hope it can be fixed soon!

Keep Comments pinned to design elements (including nested)

When i move my design elements/frames/etc., I expect all the pinned comments to move with them – but they don’t. instead i’m left with a bunch of floating comments (that are not attached to anything), which requires me to manually re-read each comment and move it again to its correct place. this is frustrating and time consuming. but what’s worse is when another user forgets to move the comments after they move the design elements, so when i return to the Figma file it’s very difficult to decipher the floating comments because they are not pinned to anything so i have no idea what they’re referring to. please keep Comments pinned to design elements (so moving design elements automatically moves comments).

I want to manage line spacing in string variable

I understand that I can use the string variable to handle and manage text words in different language mode. However, the string variable I want to manage is not limited to the single word, sometimes, it can be a long sentence. And, when I use it, it can have different line break depending on each text area. For example, there is a String Variable as below. “Figma files are often large and complex with endless pages, library and local components, and prototype screens.” I want to use it like this in A area with 2 lines : “Figma files are often large and complex with endless pages, library and local components, and prototype screens.” And, sometimes I want to use it like this in B area with 3 lines : “Figma files are often large and complex with endless pages, library and local components, and prototype screens.” Now, when I link a text box to a string variable, and if I enter a space or line break(Enter), it is unlinked from the string variable. Please consider adding some options to ap

Allow break lines in string variables

I’m trying to localize an app using the new variables feature but it looks like I can’t add break lines to the string. For titles, especially in some languages like Japanese where there are no spaces, it is totally necessary. Is this planned for the near future?

Add Margins To Auto Layout

Auto-Layout has padding (inner spacing), but no margins (outer spacing). Currently the only 2 ways to add spacing is to: Create a spacer element or Wrap the items in another frame and apply gap spacing This creates a lot of unnecessary frames, and sometimes creates nesting so deep it goes outside the layers panel. Not sure if a technical limitation left this out of consideration in the first few versions of Auto Layout, but it would be much appreciated if it were included in a future version as it comes up as a significant limitation many times a day.

Allow Hover AND Click together

With the interactive components, a variant can now have a tooltip. But unfortunately hover and clickactions are still mutual exclusive. I’m designing for a desktop application and having a tooltip per inputelement/button is crucial.

Add support for telephone number links

I have found out that figma allows you to add links to text in the form of “mailto:example@example.com”, which allows to add a link to email addresses. However, when I try to input a link in the form of “tel:1234567890” it fails and the “Invalid link” notification comes up. I believe that this is not the indeded behaviour of the feature and it should allow users to input any kind of urls, not just web and email urls.

Why not a FigJam pixel eraser like everyone else

Besides a PC, I work with an iPad with an Apple Pencil. In the FigJam for iPad, I found the eraser tool has no option like “pixel eraser” to remove part of my sketch strokes. This feature is widely available in many other apps including the native iOS Notes app. It is productive for hand drawing and prototyping. I would recommend it.

LAUNCHED: Horizontal scroll and/or sort the layers/libraries panel

What do you think about having a horizontal scroll on the layers panel? I can’t see the name of the layers and usually widen the panel to be able to see, but since I use a 13", this makes the canvas smaller.

Shortcut to publish library and automatically update files

My team and I are currently having the inconvenience of having to publish our library every single time we make even a small change (like a font size increase, color change, etc.) and then switching to the working file and manually updating the library. Due to the nature of the project we do this quite frequently and having to publish – switch file – update every single time to see the changes in our designs turns out very time consuming if you add it up. It would be amazing if Figma could integrate a shortcut for automatically updating a library and automatically updating the files it is being used on (like a cmmd+S shortcut!), of course not everybody might want to have this so it would also be nice to be able to turn this shortcut on and off.

Insert components as detached (like UI kit examples)

In the new official UI kits, example components have a special behavior where they are detached already when they are inserted. Will we eventually get this capability in our own libraries?

Quickly modify styles, improving efficiency by 30%

When designing, you often need to modify some style operations. I hope that the operation area for adjusting the style will be suspended above the layer I selected, so that I can adjust it quickly. Speed ​​up design efficiency. The following is a case I madeFigma – 25 Dec 24 When text is selected, modify the color, line height, size and other styles. When selecting the shape layer, modify the color, stroke, etc. Selecting more than two shapes can support modification of alignment attributes. Hope the suggestions can be adopted. 🩷I wish the Figma community will get better and better🩷

Can auto-emoji be disabled when typing?

My question is in the title. Can auto-emoji be disabled when typing? For example, when copy-pasting “↔” in a text field, Figma will automatically render the emoji that matches those arrows. Can this (feature?) be disabled somewhere, maybe temporarily? I looked around on https://help.figma.com/ but found nothing about.

I should be able to right-click on a variable selected in a property field and get an “Edit variable” option, just like there is for styles. It would save time during iteration.

Able to drag and add any object direct into components

You can say a feature request also to the Figma that we can able to add or create a variant in components by dragging object from outside the component. Let me explain you by an example that I have created a component which have 80 Icons. After few days I want to add more 20 Icons in that component. I can’t drag that 20 Icons add them directly to the component. I have to create an varient by clicking on plus and then have copy that inner vector and paste it into created varient one by one, 10 time damm !! 😵‍💫 So, My request is to fix it and make it able to drag and add variant to the component.
