The delete key should absolutely not default to deleting the whole slide, it’s incredibly easy to accidentally delete the slide with no confirmtion.

Hello. Old UX shortcuts are broken and no longer available in UI3. For instance, clicking on the text “Export” no longer adds a new export to the list - which is a bit strange because it means that I have to click this stupidly small button now to do one of the main purposes of even using Figma in the first place for many kinds of design. Please–reconsider adding more convenient hitboxes for common actions.

Please add more simple transitions for the “Navigate to” interaction, for example zoom in / zoom out, and let us specify the zoom amount.

Be able to temporarily hide some slides in the left panel and don’t show them in the presentation mode. Add an eye icon per every slide.

I’ve been using the Component Finder feature in Figma, and while it’s undoubtedly a fantastic tool, I’ve found a potential area for improvement that could make it even more invaluable to all of us. Currently, the Component Finder is a powerful tool that aids in quickly locating components within our projects. However, one challenge I’ve encountered is when I type too quickly and make typos. This can sometimes lead to the component I’m looking for not being retrieved in the search results. I believe that enhancing the Component Finder to support typo-tolerant searches could be a significant leap forward in usability. Enhanced User Experience: We all know that mistakes happen, especially when typing in a hurry. By enabling the Component Finder to recognize and adapt to these minor typos, we’d experience a smoother and more accurate search process. Increased Efficiency: The primary purpose of the Component Finder is to help us work more efficiently. By addressing the typo issue, we’d fu

The layer hierarchy has disappeared in the Figma slides. There used to be a collapse/expand icon on the left of the layers, but at some point, it disappeared. (This seems to be a bug due to an update.) Even when opening a blank Figma slide, a default library (such as Light slides) is automatically created. It would be great if there is an option to not use the default library and instead use my own custom library. (Currently, when adding a library, the new library gets created under the default library, causing scrolling issues.) It would be helpful to have an option to add page numbers.

I hope we can have an option to reorder the sections in the Properties Panel. I barely use the Position tab (I only use the “Ignore auto layout” button), and it always takes up space in the panel

I currently use Figma mostly for UI’s. However I have to switch to illustrator to make icons, icons that could have simply been made in Figma. This doesn’t only affect the pen, but also simply things such as the lines. All blue lines in images are the pen tool, all white lines are just normal lines. Here are my QOL suggestions: Add length to straight pen lines. It’s a very simple feature to add, but makes it drastically easier to use the pen tool. Add angle to straight pen lines. Unlike normal lines, pen lines don’t show up in the sidebar. So you can’t see it’s angle. It would be very helpful if that was shown in some way. A way to modify the angle would also be great, but that’s a lot more work to implement. Option to Show & Snap the distance between points in the editor. They currently have a very simple implementation of this already. However, its very lacking. If you look at this example: You will see that the lines snap together. However it doesn’t snap horizontally b

When defining tokens with primitives, currently you have to just remember your primitive definitions. It would be nice if we had a subtle little preview while hovering.

The FigJam toolbox to add stickers could be improved imo (e.g. bring back dock & resize ;-)). For custom FigJam sticker libraries, it would be nice to also have a keyword search bar at the top inside the library. To only search within a specific library. We have a library with stickers for low fidelity mockups for example, I would like to search only in that when creating a mockup. It would also be handy to select and drop a bunch of stickers on the board at once. If you could search and filter, then drag to select multiple, this would be very helpful. Or even just a way to select multiple items by clicking and then dropping them.

Not sure if this would be better under Product Feedback, but are there any plans to add branch names either to the File search index or as a separate search category? We’re looking adopting branching and would use Jira ticket numbers probably in the branch names, and being able to search and find the file containing the matching branch would be a huge time saver.

Would be nice to show which color I’m editing inside the library color selection panel. This is shown in the “selection colors” section when I click on an element, but when I click into this color and another panel appears for me to change that color, I would like to see what color is being selected in that panel simply because visual indicator and name of color aren’t enough. I still have to squint or read.

I’m not sure if there’s a way to implement this today. I understand that properties are a shared language between design and dev. However, I can see how design teams may benefit from having additional props that would help with design productivity if we can use additional properties or variants that only we can see and use in designs. Example below of boolean props to show/hide additional tabs. Devs don’t need to see these props, but it helps designers quickly show/hide more as needed for their own projects. Does it even make sense to use props this way? Either way, I’d love to hear everyone’s thoughts on it. Thanks!

It would be great to be able to apply annotations to elements within components and allow them to also be included in instances. For this we need current simple instance-level annotations as well as component-level annotations that are included with instances. Annotations (Component/Instances) Annotations (Instance)

Hello, I don’t mean high contrast as in AAA inverted contrast. Just a bit darker borders etc. so I can visually can pick stuff easier. Also have to say, not having accessibility within tags section made me a bit left out 😦 I believe in Figma though 🙂

It would be great if the “strongly disagree”, “Neutral” and “Strongly agree” labels could be changed in the Alignment scale of the Live interaction component in Slides. We use it for various things - e.g. to check-in on how the team feels, stress-levels etc, and the current labels don’t always make sense.

Can we please add indentation to the style group members? It’d be even better if we can have expand/collapse of text style groups. As it stands today, it is so easy to select the wrong text styles because they all look like they are on the base level in style organization/grouping. Some simple indentation will do the trick.

As an admin, I would like to see “network access” for every plugin that is approved in the organisation. Sometimes plugin creators change these settings and it’s hard to track it individually. Please add a column with “network access” in Admin / Resources / Approved plugins (for both requested and approved).

Until now I had access to every asset in my file and plugins just by pressing Shift + I. Now if I want to use any plugin I need to take the mouse and select the option from the toolbar. This is very frustrating and breaks my whole workflow. I want to know why this is a better option.

Can their please be an update so that when you mark a comment as “unread” in a design file, it will be reflected in the notificiation thread under the bell in the file browser view? Otherwise, how else could you productively use the feature without constantly opening files to check for unread comments? Attached is what I see even if i mark a comment as “unread.” This seems not right to me. Share an idea figma Feedback

I’ve had this problem for a few months now. I used to be able to @ everyone involved in a project of mine. Over time, I’m only able to @ fewer and fewer people. Now, I can only @ one person in the project. Is this a known bug or issue?

Hey! I’m a long-time Figma user and I’m finding the ability to delete objects on Slide Decks’ is frustrating. Here is what I’m doing: Select Group Press Delete on the Keyboard Nothing happens. It deletes the scale words (1x). This is extremely annoying as you would expect it to function like how the old Figma UI would. Figma, PLEASE FIX!

In UI3, only the “Export” label and “+” button expand the Export options. All the other section bars in the pane can be opened by clicking anywhere on the bar. Please make Export do the same!

I’m struggling to explain this exactly, but I often find myself thinking about this when working with visuals that involve multiple elements. Whenever I try to select something, the standard box selection just doesn’t work for what I want to achieve. I haven’t seen this feature in any other software, so I’m not sure if it’s even possible, but here’s my idea: What if there was a way to change the selection method? Instead of using a box, you could use a line, almost like the pen tool, and anything that the line crosses, in any direction, would be selected on that layer. Does something like this exist already, and I’m just missing it? I’ve attached a video to illustrate what I mean.
